Called MarketDataPeaks.com (http://www.marketdatapeaks.com/), the new site provides a minute-by-minute account of the aggregated volume of market data messages across major North American exchanges. The site highlights the peaks from the current day as well as historic peaks.

"This site is designed to provide unique information on peaks in market data to the financial community -- trading firms, exchanges and regulators," says Jeff Wells, V.P., Product Management at Exegy. "It will help executives stay on top of market data issues and plan for the future."

The historic data will be captured and included in the Financial Information Forum's capacity statistics as part of the organization's collaborative efforts to address issues that impact financial technology operations and development in light of rapid changes occurring in the marketplace.

"We look forward to giving our members insight into market data peaks based on Exegy's aggregated feed data," says Manisha Kimmel, Executive Director of FIF. "Including this unique data as part of the FIF Market Data Capacity Working Group discussions will allow us to further assist our members in planning and provisioning for market data growth."
All data are processed and updated through a single Exegy Ticker Plant in a New York City colocation facility managed by Xasax Corporation. Xasax is a Vendor of Record and Service Bureau, providing end-to-end trading system infrastructure for smaller hedge funds, proprietary trading desks, and financial service providers.

MarketDataPeaks.com features the total number of messages that occur simultaneously in any given second across all live data feeds including NYSE/SIAC, NASDAQ, OPRA, ARCA, BATS and Direct Edge, both Level 1 and 2. The graph displays the highest one-second peak that occurs in each minute. The graph on the site's home page automatically updates every minute.

Interactive Data Corporation (NYSE: IDC), a provider of financial market data, analytics and related services, today announced that its Real-Time Services business has made data from the Turquoise multilateral trading facility (MTF) available via PlusFeedSM. PlusFeed is Interactive Data’s consolidated high-quality, low latency digital datafeed that powers algorithmic and electronic trading applications.

Data from the Turquoise MTF, whose members include the largest banks and brokers active in European trading, as well as specialist trading firms and institutions, has been in production on PlusFeed since 15 August 2008 and is available to Interactive Data’s PlusFeed clients from the commencement of live trading. Since 29 August the Turquoise platform has stepped up its production capabilities and now trades in over 1,250 stocks across 13 European markets ahead of its public launch later in September.

Yann L’Huillier, chief technology officer of Turquoise, said: "We are pleased that low‐latency data provider Interactive Data is making Turquoise data available to its clients, as we see it as essential that financial institutions are able to access the data we produce as quickly as possible.”

David Hann, general manager, EMEA, Interactive Data Real-Time Services, commented: "Adding Turquoise data to PlusFeed is an important step forward for us.
Since the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) was implemented on 1 November 2007, Interactive Data has seen significant increases in the volume of trades and in the number of instruments on the new data sources available via PlusFeed. And the numbers indicate that this growth is continuing.”

Interactive Data’s Managed Solutions business will also carry Turquoise data on Market Data Gateway as part of a new ECN package.

RTI Expands Wall Street Presence

Real-Time Innovations (RTI), has significantly expanded its presence in New York City. RTI’s New York office will locate key personnel closer to customers taking advantage of RTI’s ultra low-latency messaging technology in trading applications. This will enhance RTI’s ability to support large deployments and to collaborate with financial services firms in the development of leading-edge low-latency solutions.

“No one understands the value of a millisecond more than RTI,” said Stan Schneider, CEO of RTI. “In addition to our success in financial services, RTI’s messaging technology provides the backbone for hundreds of mission-critical defense systems. Lives literally depend on RTI’s ability to deliver torrents of time-critical information quickly and reliably.”

“In the defense industry, RTI partners closely with customers to deploy systems that push the state of the art in performance and scale,” continued Schneider. “As a result, we are the market leader and we enjoy a 98 percent customer-satisfaction rating. Establishing a strong presence in New York will facilitate our ability to deliver the same level of support, service and cooperative development to the financial services market.”

RTI’s New York office is located at 14 Wall Street, directly across from the New York Stock Exchange. It includes sales, support, consulting, engineering services, product management and product development. In addition to RTI veterans who have relocated to New York, RTI has added three new hires with deep financial industry experience:

Virginia Myers, director of Financial Services Business Development, brings extensive experience selling software solutions to the financial industry for companies such as BEA, Rogue Wave, Inktomi and Cisco. She most recently managed several of BEA’s major accounts. Virginia will direct RTI’s sales activities in New York.

Henry Sun, director of Financial Services Strategy and Product Management, has more than 25 years of industry experience, most recently from 12 years at Thomson Reuters where he directed product management for real-time market data and data feeds. At RTI, Henry will ensure that clients have the proper product set and guide RTI’s evolving platform and strategy.

Marc Keveles, technical account manager, has extensive experience building, scaling and deploying trading systems for equity and fixed-income markets, pre-and post-trade analytics, co-location, compliance and virtualization. At RTI, Marc will help information technology (IT) personnel leverage RTI’s advantages to build state-of-the-art trading systems. Marc’s 13 years of financial experience include senior positions at Portware, Lava (Citi), Arch Insurance, BondBook and Tullett Prebon.

Henry Sun added, “RTI has a real opportunity in financial services. Its technological lead will translate into a significant competitive advantage for latency-critical applications. I am thrilled to join this exciting enterprise.”
