Exegy Inc. has released new versions of its hardware-accelerated Ticker Plant and Market Data System appliances and Exegy Client API that deliver substantial improvements to performance, operational transparency and resiliency. The 3.2 versions of the Ticker Plant and Market Data System appliances feature twice the raw data input capacity of the prior versions. The data normalization and book-building engines in the appliances have been optimized to deliver more speed and higher capacity. The easy-to-use Exegy Client API has been enhanced to allow client applications to employ more threads and processor cores to consume normalized market data. Application capacity can be improved by up to 15 times greater than existing levels. “The 3.2 versions deliver end-to-end throughput and latency improvements for the most demanding consumers of market data,” says chief technology officer David Taylor. “This is especially meaningful for consumers of direct feeds from the US options exchanges, which includes several of our market maker and sell-side agency customers,” adds Taylor.
The 3.2 versions of the Ticker Plant and Market Data System appliances also provide greater operational transparency and resiliency. Users can keep tabs on appliance performance metrics and latency in real-time via monitoring objects in the Exegy Client API (XCAPI). Exegy has also streamlined its symbol and configuration management systems to ensure quality and consistency as they actively monitor and manage hundreds of hardware-accelerated appliances globally. The 3.2 versions of the appliances also feature more robust isolation mechanisms for slow-consuming applications, ensuring system predictability and resiliency when servicing large, diverse sets of applications. “Our premium Managed Service is our product,” states chief information officer Scott Parsons. “As the scope of our business has grown, the scale and sophistication of the monitoring and management features of our appliances to support our Managed Service has also grown.” The Exegy Managed Service includes 24-hour monitoring, operational support, developer support, appliance and feed handler updates, and proactive deployment management.
