Hanweck Associates, a premier financial services provider specializing in risk management systems and technology for institutional investors, and SpryWare, a premier provider of ultra low latency feed handlers and direct market data technology, today announced that they have integrated Hanweck's high-performance, hardware-accelerated options analytics solution, VoleraFEED, with the SpryWare Market Information Server.
The integration provides options market participants with the advanced computing power and access to fast, quality market data needed to deliver low-latency, real-time options analytics to drive advanced trading strategies. This new offerings adds to Hanweck's existing VoleraFEED integrations, including ACTIV Financial's ACTIVFeedDirect and IDC's PlusFeed.
In today's options markets, the faster the better - milliseconds matter. But calculating options analytics, such as implied volatilities and greeks, can be time-consuming and expensive.

Financial firms can now use VoleraFEED with the SpryWare MIS to quickly process and capture this information in one easy-to-use, fast and flexible offering.

The efficiency of our feed handlers means fewer servers and reduced operating costs, all while maintaining the objective of fast data and low latency. Our model fits well with Hanweck Associates' hardware-accelerated analytical platform, and we are very pleased to partner with them to offer this solution to our customers."
