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.
