Independent Research. Expert Driven. Always Relevant.

STAC Insights does what it says, provides insights to technical topics and data.  If Benchmarks answer the 'what' then Insights provides the 'how' and 'why'.

STAC Research examines the full spectrum of emerging technologies and strategies in capital markets, delivering actionable insights into how firms innovate and adapt. Our research spans critical domains such as advanced analytics, low-latency systems, HPC, AI and machine learning, cloud and edge computing, and next-generation infrastructure. Each study addresses real-world challenges, helping firms align technology choices with business goals.

We take a question-led approach, exploring the how, why, and what if behind key issues, and occasionally testing hypotheses to validate ideas.

Restricted Reports are exclusive content, often as a means of providing early access to new products that may not be considered General Available.  These reports are produced by the technology vendors utilising STAC Benchmarks tools but without the independent validation our audited STAC Reports provide. Keep that in mind when interpreting results but these often present very interesting early results.

Insights also offers deeper visibility into performance data and system configurations featured in STAC Reports. This level of detail helps you understand performance characteristics and the exact environment setup—so you can focus on the metrics that matter most to you.
