LDA Technologies (LDA), the innovation leader in advanced ultra-low latency solutions for capital markets, today announces its new, non-blocking, high density Layer 1 fabric, LDA Maze, delivering connectivity with just 3.6ns to 4.1ns port-to-port latency. LDA Maze provides density never seen before at 25G (160 links) without sacrificing configurability or performance for trading architectures, while also supporting demanding AI and HPC applications when aggregating the links to 40 x 100G.
With LDA Maze, firms are provided with an enabling layer to build the exact low latency, future proof technology stack their trading environment requires, while reducing the physical footprint needed to scale connectivity. This helps companies lower costs on rack space, power, and cabling.
Vahan Sardaryan, CEO and Co-founder of LDA, said: “There's been a gap in the market for high-density, 25G-capable Layer 1 technology, and LDA Maze addresses it. It provides a flexible, ultra-low latency interconnect between components within the chassis: front-panel links, FPGA boards, NICs and other equipment alike, over ARC6 connectors — so one fabric can power devices for finance, HPC and AI workflows.”
User Benefits of LDA Maze:
- 160 links in a single fabric: 160 links of 10/25G, or 40 links of 40/100G aggregated. The highest link count available at 25G, with less cabling, power and rack space behind it. Chain LDA Maze units together for even larger fabrics.
- 3.6–4.1 ns port-to-port: measured through the I/O cards. Firms get predictable interconnect latency between devices in the rack and inside a single chassis.
- Front panel follows the deployment: SFP, QSFP and QSFP-DD I/O cards combine in any mix, so the link layout matches the build instead of the chassis.
- Scale to 25G, without a redesign: run 10G today and move to 25G on the same device.
LDA Maze can currently be integrated into Neo X, and will soon be available across two new LDA platforms launching in coming weeks, giving firms the option to extend low latency connectivity, unprecedented density levels and configurable workflows into broader infrastructure deployments.
