Exegy, a leading provider of market data, trading technology and managed services for the capital markets, today celebrates its partnership with LDA Technologies (LDA), the innovation leader in advanced ultra-low latency and network solutions, in co-developing Exegy Nexus, a unique, custom-engineered appliance. Designed to centralize and scale market data processing while reducing server count and power consumption, Nexus combines FPGA acceleration with embedded Layer 1 switching to deliver deterministic sub-microsecond latency, high-throughput feed handling, and high-density performance in a single managed platform.
“At LDA, we’ve built our reputation on delivering high-density, high-performance FPGA systems. When Exegy approached us with requirements for the Nexus device, our engineers designed a new architecture from the ground up to deliver the scalability and deterministic performance their platform demanded — all in a compact and efficient form factor. Collaborations like this one, with partners such as Exegy, push the boundaries of what’s possible and drive innovation across our industry.” - Vahan Sardaryan, Co-Founder and CEO, LDA Technologies
Exegy Nexus was further shaped by input from global banks, brokers, hedge funds, and market makers to ensure the platform addresses real-world trading infrastructure challenges.
Key Technical Highlights of Exegy Nexus
- Chassis – 1U or 2U rackmount supporting different density configurations
- FPGA Acceleration – Supports up to 8 PCIe FPGA accelerator cards for market data processing and execution
- High-density compute – High core count, single socket AMD Turin platform for scalable software processing
- L1 Connectivity – Embedded Layer 1 Ethernet crosspoint for low latency connectivity and highly flexible throughput
- Versatility – Dedicated network interfaces for non-latency sensitive connectivity and self-testing automation
“While Exegy’s core expertise lies in developing and managing market data and execution solutions, our collaboration with LDA ensured the Nexus hardware platform not only delivers leading performance and advanced capabilities but also simplifies deployment into production for our customers.”— Laurent de Barry, Chief Product Officer, Exegy
Nexus is available for order immediately, with production delivery beginning in Q4 2025.
