"The Exegy Ticker Plant is now available in Secaucus for customers to take direct connections. We plan to make the Exegy Ticker Plant available as a hosted solution in many of the US and European trading centers," said Scott Parsons, Chief Architect and Chief Scientist at Exegy.

The state-of-the-art Equinix NY4 facility in Secaucus is already home to a number of Exegy customers, including Direct Edge. "It will now be possible to cross-connect to a hosted Exegy Ticket Plant to receive the fastest market data possible integrating Direct Edge and other market center data feeds," noted Steve Bonanno, Chief Technology Officer at Direct Edge.

"This means that customers who need fast and consistent access to the deepest and busiest markets in the world can turn directly to Exegy for access to market data. This innovative model helps small customers easily and affordably scale as their needs grow, all without sacrificing performance or simplicity," added Parsons.

"It is now standard to receive data in microseconds, but it is just as important for traders to get data without interruption when the market becomes hyperactive. That's the beauty of hardware acceleration. All of our customers, large and small, can get the data fast, with minimal jitter and without fear of being overrun," said Parsons.
