Market Data Acquisition Card

The Enyx market data acquisition solution consists of an FPGA based processing board, which directly plugs into the trading server’s PCI-Express slot. The Enyx solution manages the network connection to the exchange by receiving raw market data streams from the exchange and decoding the data with the best latencies.

Using Enyx Hardware TCP/IP stack technology, TCP/IP connection management is moved from software to hardware. Order Execution may be handled directly by the accelerated TCP/IP stack guaranteeing TCP performance under 150 ns.

Speed: Customer software receives financial market data faster than with any other Network Interface Card.

Latency: Guaranteed under 1.2 μs from wire to software.

Reliability: With Enyx in-hardware feed-repair technology, user can manage simultaneously two market data streams to produce a single gap-free input stream to the customer software

Efficiency: The Enyx solution reduces the trading server load in half: the FPGA sends a single data feed to customer software instead of two.

Normalization: The Enyx solution converts on-the-fly the raw input stream to NXFeed* binary stream, ready to be processed by customer’s software.

*NXFeed binary format consist in lightweight API to easily access market data feeds
