Sustainable Transaction Processing in Transaction-Intensive E-Business Applications Through Resilient Digital Infrastructures

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In the era of digital transformation, transaction-intensive e-business applications—such as high-frequency trading (HFT), e-monetary services and decentralized marketplaces—require infrastructures that are not only fast and secure but also sustainable. Current solutions often prioritize short-term performance over long-term resilience, leading to inefficiencies in energy use and system reliability. This paper introduces a conceptual framework for sustainable transaction processing, leveraging energy-efficient hardware accelerators, real-time communication protocols inspired by industrial automation and lightweight authentication mechanisms. By integrating associative memory-based matching engines and optimized network architectures, the proposed approach ensures predictable latency, robust security and scalability without compromising sustainability. The framework aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) by reducing resource consumption, enhancing operational resilience and supporting future-ready digital ecosystems.
