After a formal competitive evaluation, Chimera Securities chose OneTick Database for its ability to integrate real-time streaming and historical tick data with intuitive business logic and analytics as well as its low total cost of ownership. OneTick Database's ability to handle all tick data needs including order book analytics, regulatory compliance and transaction cost analysis also made it the ideal solution for the firm.
OneTick Database collects and processes millions of ticks per second on a single CPU and archives billions of ticks per day globally, providing uniform access to all tick data, up to and including the latest tick. It empowers users to write real-time queries on streaming real-time and historical tick data.
