Beeks Analytics is architected to take advantage of standard off-the-shelf commercially available servers and FPGA cards to provide horizontally scalable performance that can deal with the broadest range of financial market traffic volumes.

These cards are configured for use as part of the VMX-Capture configuration.

There are two types of FPGA card used in VMX-Capture:

  • One or more capture cards.

  • Optional one or more compression cards.

See Beeks Analytics Appliance Hardware Options for details of the FPGA card models that are qualified with VMX-Capture, and the number of cards supported in different server chassis form factors.

You can skip this section if you are deploying VMX-Capture software outside of an appliance (e.g. processing third-party capture files).
