Marimba's integrated management infrastructure also enables us to meet our core business objective-minimizing the time to market for our customers' key trading applications , explained Trevor Byrne , Nasdaq vice president , Systems Engineering.
Important client-side management features include byte-level differencing , application self-healing and the ability to promote the Nasdaq brand on applications that reside on customer desktops.With Castanet , when we issue updates to Nasdaq Workstation II , we only download what has changed , not the whole application as we did in the past.As a result , we no longer need to conduct regression testing on the entire application as it's downloaded , Byrne said.Now , we can isolate our regression testing to the small amounts of code that have changed..
Castanet also supports the existing operational model for Nasdaq Workstation II.With Castanet , end users at Nasdaq's trading workstations can control when they download updates from the servers.
Right out of the box , Castanet has the features we need , Byrne added.This allows us to be up and running very quickly.If we make changes to our infrastructure , or add new software products in the future , we will be able to leverage Castanet in those new environments.In other words , Castanet should easily scale to our evolving business needs.
