CBOE's sophisticated IT infrastructure supports huge volumes. It has handled peak message rates exceeding 255,000 messages per second, with daily message totals approaching two billion. High availability and performance are critical, so careful management of the IT environment is a must. That's where BMC Software comes in. CBOE has used BMC's Business Service Management (BSM) solutions for many years. The exchange is now upgrading to new versions with the goal of creating a strategic IT management platform that enhances service assurance, automation, and support.
