Overview

A fast-paced financial services firm was suffering from major disruptions during peak trading hours. Windows updates were triggering automatic restarts and system slowdowns, delaying quote data and occasionally crashing systems altogether. The firm needed a Managed Service Provider (MSP) who could not only stabilize performance, but also ensure critical maintenance happened only outside of trading hours.

The Challenge

The company’s IT environment was inconsistent and underpowered. Trading computers were often consumer-grade systems purchased from retail outlets, and there was no power redundancy in place. Even brief internet hiccups were causing major trading delays. The firm needed a reliable IT partner to:

• Standardize their hardware on high-performance workstations

• Design a power solution to sustain a full trading day without interruption

• Build a fault-tolerant, redundant network and internet setup

The Solution

Veith Technologies redesigned the firm’s infrastructure from the ground up:

• Replaced all trading systems with enterprise-grade workstations for superior speed and stability

• Installed advanced power distribution and battery backup to keep essential systems running during outages

• Deployed a fully redundant, multi-carrier internet solution with diverse entry points to eliminate connectivity risks

The Result

Less than a year after implementation, a full-day utility power outage hit the area. The firm stayed fully operational, with no trading downtime. Their investment paid for itself in one day.

Now backed by Veith Technologies’ proactive management, 24/7 monitoring, and strategic support, the firm operates with total confidence—able to focus on what they do best: growing their business and maximizing profit.
