Ask HN: Get in touch with low latency people from Sun, IBM or RedHat?

We have a Java application that trades in the financial markets. Latency is important to us; we are continually trying to improve latency, increase throughput and reduce jitter.

We are currently running our application in production on Windows using the Sun JVM. We have test cases to test how our system responds to market data generated in a test environment. We want to figure out the best JVM and OS for our application.

Several people have told me that vendors like to compete on benchmarks like ours, but I can't get through to the right people.

I'm trying to get in touch with IBM and Sun to start such a comparison. IBM's realtime page suggests writing to [email protected], but that address bounces.

Sun's Global Financial Services page has no way to get in touch with them and their chat rep could not help.

Can anyone refer me to an appropriate contact?
