Exegy Boosts Performance And Features For Derivatives Markets

Date 23/11/2015

Exegy Inc., a leading provider of managed services and low-latency technology for market data normalization and distribution, has announced today new versions of its hardware-accelerated appliances that improve performance and functionality for the derivatives markets.  The enhancements to the Exegy Ticker Plant and Exegy Market Data System products mark the latest in a series of releases targeted at market makers, agency businesses, and proprietary traders who participate in the equity options, futures, and spreads markets.  “The primary drivers for this series of product enhancements are the continued increases in market data rates in the derivatives markets, the introduction of new equity options exchanges in the United States, and the dramatic reduction in exposure auction timers over the past nine months,” says chief technology officer David Taylor.  “The improvements are meaningful for a wide range of our customer use cases – from the consumption of the consolidated Options Price Reporting Authority feed for regulatory compliance to the consumption of direct feeds in order to participate in the initial exposure auctions for user-defined intra-day spread contracts,” adds Taylor.
