Financial Services

Increased digitization has transformed financial services and has had a profound effect on trading infrastructure. Workers in the
financial services industry often hold the fiscal well-being of an individual or entire company beneath their fingertips. This makes
multi-display setups essential to effectively manage and evaluate critical financial data. Or, in the breakneck pace of an environment
like a trading room, information such as share prices and global commodity pricing needs to be rigorously monitored in real time, a
task that a single screen setup now renders nearly impossible. Another vital challenge technology in this industry faces is the
maintaining of data security in an age where financial data is constantly under risk of external attacks.

Multi-Display Desktop Solution for Investment Bank
One of the world’s biggest investment banks has several stock trading rooms for monitoring key economic indicators on a daily
basis. These trading rooms were specifically constructed to incorporate video walls, network switches, and a large number of
multiple-monitor KVM desktops where financial analysts could simultaneously monitor various trends and fluctuations in oil,
gold and share prices on up to six screens for more efficiency. The KVM solution needed to be robust and reliable, to avoid down-
time and financial losses caused by equipment failure, and also to be flexible enough to support both triple-display and
dual-unit, six-display setups controlled via single desktop connection.
