Exegy, the market data appliance company, has introduced two new products -- Exegy Total Connect and Exegy Limited Edition – in addition to its flagship Exegy Ticker Plant product.
“Exegy has had continued success deploying the Exegy Ticker Plant as a low latency, cost-effective solution, even during the current market turmoil,” explains Chief Architect Scott Parsons. “Now our customers are asking for additional solutions with greater fan-out that still maintain the significant improvements in latency they find with Exegy’s product, compared to home grown or software based solutions that often struggle with market data capacity.“
In response, Exegy has designed and delivered a new extended appliance – Exegy Total Connect -- that allows hundreds of direct connections from downstream client applications, while still maintaining a best-of-breed latency profile. The Exegy Total Connect product has completed testing at a number of large Wall Street firms, and is available for production deployments.
In addition, the company is introducing the Exegy Limited Edition, a 2U version of the classic 4U Exegy Ticker Plant. The Exegy Limited Edition is designed specifically for co-located deployments with very limited space and the need to ingest fewer direct feeds. It offers the same great latency and throughput at a lower cost than the Exegy Ticker Plant.
The two new products leverage Exegy’s proven acceleration technology and dedicated-appliance approach to handling market data. John Barr, Research Director of Financial Markets at The 451 Group and Chair of the British CompuSociety’s Parallel Processing Specialist Group, said “The stalled CPU clock in commodity processors opens the door to acceleration technologies such as FPGA and ideally in an appliance model for ease of use. And, as highlighted in our Financial Messaging report, the performance gains mean that a single Exegy appliance can replace dozens of servers – with significant power, cooling and space savings.”
