AlphaServer system ready
Merlin from Rolfe & Nolan is a next-generation solution for trade processing of futures and options. Merlin's target market is leading commercial and investment banks, fund managers, brokers, and
exchanges.
The Rational Unified Process (RUP), use-case design techniques, and modular approach of Merlin ensure flexibility—the solution can be integrated into existing systems or easily combined with
other modules. The first two modules, Merlin Commissions and Merlin Margin are now available. Merlin Commissions performs a wide range of commission-based tasks and can be extended to support
commission calculation functionality for other asset classes. Merlin Margin is a world-class margin calculation engine covering the world's leading futures and options exchanges and
clearinghouses.
Key benefits:
- Reduces costs—a single global database using an industry-standard relational database management system (RDBMS) eliminates duplication, generates client statements without having to
collate from multiple sources, and eliminates re-routing of trade information
- Increases efficiency—updates ensure accuracy of information, while processing can be monitored across time zones for a comprehensive, simultaneous view of information
- Maximizes productivity—framework can handle other asset classes outside of futures and options, while internal and external interfaces enable Merlin modules to operate with other
Merlin and non-Merlin components
The HP OpenVMS operating system running on AlphaServer systems provides exceptional availability for the business-critical trading capabilities of Merlin. Real-time accuracy of financial
information is ensured by the fault tolerance and reliability of OpenVMS, which has a proven record of performance in I/O-intensive environments.
