Platform Overview

The world's fastest and most secure co-location platform for high-frequency trading (HFT) firms. Runs ultra-low-latency market data feeds, order execution engines, and risk compliance checks within a deterministic, kernel-bypass environment — all while enforcing regulatory auditability and zero-trust isolation.

Deployment Requirements

⚡ Prerequisites: DsecOS Enterprise HFT Edition license (exchange-approved), 3x 1U servers (128 GB RAM, 2x AMD EPYC 9754, Solarflare X2522 NICs), direct fiber to exchange (<50 km)

Step 1: Provision Co-Lo Cluster

/scripts/pxe-deploy.sh --cluster hft-colo --nodes 3 --dpdk --fpga-passthrough --realtime-kernel

Step 2: Deploy HFT Stack

Create /templates/stacks/hft-engine.yml:

version: '3.8'
services:
  market-data:
    image: hft/mdh-dpdk:latest
    privileged: true
    network_mode: host
    devices:
      - /dev/vfio:/dev/vfio
    command: --interfaces eth0,eth1 --feeds NASDAQ,CME

  execution:
    image: hft/exec-binary:latest
    network_mode: host
    command: --gateway exchange-gateway.ip --strategy arb_v3

  risk:
    image: hft/risk-fpga:latest
    devices:
      - /dev/fpga0
    command: --limits position=100000,order_size=5000

    command: detect --model latency_arb_v9

  logger:
    image: hft/audit-worm:latest
    volumes:
      - ceph-worm:/audit
    command: --mode tick --crypto fips
