Chicago Board Options Exchange is the largest U.S. options exchange, with annual trading volume that hovered around 1.27 billion contracts at the end of 2014. CBOE offers options on over 2,200 companies, 22 stock indices and 140 exchange-traded funds.
CBOE chose Apache Cassandra as a highly-available distributed data storage solution within its real-time data architecture. In market data, availability is not a quality target — it is the product.
DataStax brought RhinoSource into CBOE to provide architectural, data modeling, operations and performance tuning guidance, and to help investigate and resolve the critical issues the platform was hitting.
After a thorough review and investigation, RhinoSource delivered actionable recommendations to improve performance and streamline operations. Those changes resolved the issues and prevented them from recurring.
