National Stock Exchange Completes Technology Platform Overhaul with Sun Microsystems, Inc.

Continuing its momentum in the financial services industry, Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: SUNW), the creator of the Solaris 10 Operating System (OS), announced today the completion of a technology refresh for the National Stock Exchange (NSX), which recently launched a new state-of-the-art technology platform - NSX BLADE and NASD/NSX Trade Reporting Facility. NSX, the nation's first all-electronic stock exchange, expects the enhancements will be appealing to traders trying to secure the best price, given time and order size, known in the capital markets sector as "best execution." The Sun Customer Ready Systems (CRS) program build-out, based on Sun Fire servers powered by UltraSPARC and AMD Opteron processors, as well as the Sun StorageTek Compliance Archiving System, will help NSX handle increased trading volumes as well as to better enable data archival needs to comply with recent SEC regulations. In addition, Sun's Solaris 10 OS -- used on a combination of Sun SPARC and x64 platforms - will help ensure security, integrity, and performance of the overall platform.
