Stock Exchange was rung by ISE, the International Securities Exchange.
Launched in 2000, ISE was the first registered exchange approved by
the
Securities and Exchange Commission since 1973. Today ISE has
become the
world's largest Equity Options Exchange. Their growth from launch to
the
#1 position in the US market in 4 years has been both very remarkable
and very well planned. ISE is powered by OpenVMS AlphaServer
systems,
using Oracle Rdb and the OMX Click XT application platform. For more

performed a benchmark test at the request of ISE to determine the
performance parameters of running the OMX Technology CLICK XT
trading
