Exegy, a provider of market data, announced on Thursday that it launched the fifth generation of its Exegy appliances. The latest generation offers a suite of new features and builds upon the fourth generation to further reduce market data event latency of the Exegy Ticker Plant and Exegy Market Data System.

The fifth generation appliance will be able to leverage new capabilities. The Exegy Ticker Plant will expand the capacity to distribute normalized data to up to 200 applications. The appliance achieves this via TCP and Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) protocols.

The Exegy Ticker Plant can integrate with diverse customer environments more efficiently. It also won’t sacrifice low-latency performance. With the increase of its distribution capacity, it can service five times the number of latency-critical applications. This is done without increasing the data center footprint.

The fifth-generation of Exegy appliances are a “game changer”

Commenting on the release of the fifth-generation, chief executive officer of Exegy, James O’Donnell said: “Like each of its predecessors, the fifth-generation Exegy appliance is a game-changer. It not only delivers an immediate boost in speed and capacity, but it also deploys additional resources that enable Exegy to remotely deliver performance enhancements, compelling features, and unique content as part of our premier managed services for years to come.

Before releasing the technology, the Fifth-generation Exegy appliances were pre-released for customer trials. O’Donnell commented on the trials by saying: “Our long history of innovative technology and premium managed services have allowed us to develop invaluable relationships with the leading electronic trading groups in global capital markets.

“The successful customer trials of the new appliances are the most recent examples of constructive engagement that delivers tangible benefits to our customers and to Exegy.” 

The fifth-generation appliances are available now for new Exegy appliance deployments and upgrades to existing deployments.
