2024 has been a spectacular year for Blackcore® Technologies. Before we step into the holiday season and welcome 2025, let's reflect on what an exciting year 2024 has been.
Team Blackcore attended the STAC Summits in New York and Chicago this spring where our CTO, James Lupton, took to the stage during the Innovation Round-up sessions at both events. During these sessions, he delivered an insightful presentation titled "Why YOU Shouldn't Overclock." James tackled common industry myths and challenges associated with overclocking, shedding light on the complexities that make it a task best left to the experts at Blackcore.
In June we headed to London to host our very first UK Summer Social Event in partnership with Intel. While we've held similar gatherings in New York, US in previous years, this was the perfect moment to bring the event to the UK capital.
On Thursday, June 13th, we welcomed our clients, partners, and vendors to a typically rainy London for an evening of great conversation, delicious drinks, and exquisite canapés. This provided us with a fantastic opportunity to strengthen connections, share insights, and celebrate our collaborations in a relaxed and vibrant setting.
In July, we celebrated nine years of Blackcore Technologies and launched Blackcore Labs, our partner program. This program combines the skillsets of team Blackcore and our partners; together we will innovate to deliver the best solutions for our electronic trading clients. Learn More
This fall has been one of our busiest and most exciting seasons yet! We launched four cutting-edge servers, attended the STAC Summits, and hosted exclusive drinks events in New York and London.
Our product lineup grew with the introduction of four powerful new servers: ICON 3100-SM+, ICON 3100-SX+, ACE 3100-TX, and ACE 3100-RZ, each designed to deliver unrivaled performance for our electronic trading clients.
At the Fall STAC Summits, our CTO, James Lupton, captivated audiences with his presentation, "Inside the Overclockers Toolbox." In this session, James gave a glimpse into the tools and techniques that make Blackcore’s overclocking technology exceptional.
Now for some words from CTO James Lupton and CRO Ciaran Kennedy.
‘Looking back, it’s hard to believe what we’ve achieved this year – thanks to a monumental effort by every single person across the entire team we’ve managed to improve almost every aspect of the business. From new clients, new and unique products, new features, new teams, new ideas – the list goes on.
We’re lucky to work with many excellent clients and partners whose invaluable insight and feedback have shaped our evolution. As we head into 2025, I’m excited by the many plans we have in the works and the continual improvement we are striving for. There’s a strange feeling of dichotomy where we’ve achieved so much, and yet it feels like we’ve only just begun!’ James Lupton, CTO.
‘In 2024 we've seen Blackcore take a leading position with many of our clients as the primary provider of overclocked trading solutions. Our widening portfolio of products to now include solutions from both Intel and AMD is a testament to our commitment to the industry and our responsiveness to client feedback - we can now cater to a wider range of core counts and clock speeds than ever before, also available in the optimal form factors to balance performance and reliability. We've doubled the size of our sales team to be as responsive to our client base globally as possible and expanded our partnership programs to allow for the widest range of options for our clients to transact with us. In addition to this, we've launched the Blackcore Labs program to bolster our commitment to working with complimentary providers in the trading community to be able to provide the most integrated solutions in the market. The team here are all looking forward to how we can continue this momentum in 2025 and beyond.’ Ciaran Kennedy, CRO.
Finally a huge thank you to Team Blackcore! 👏 Your incredible hard work, dedication, compassion, and positivity are the driving force behind Blackcore Technologies and what sets us apart. These accomplishments are a collective success, and we couldn’t have achieved them without every team member in the UK and the US. #TeamBlackcore 💚
