TPS+Plus and Your Feeds - A Winning Combination!
Many firms rely on market data from third-party feed vendors who claim real-time and reliable delivery. But is this in real-time? The data is collected from exchanges and is then consolidated, stored, forwarded, and finally distributed through dated infrastructures to your location – an expensive and time consuming process, typically adding at least a couple hundred milliseconds in latency and in some cases, as much as several seconds. In addition, at every turn of the process, an invitation to question the reliability is generated. The market data feeds accessed in this manner are called Consolidated Feeds.
Consolidated Feeds are defined as follows:
A single consolidated feed; available from commercial data providers such as Reuters, Bloomberg, Telekurs, and IDC; provides data from many sources.
InfoDyne clients gain a competitive edge by using our TPS+: Ticker Plant Solutions platform to integrate data direct from the original source. There’s no way to get the data any faster than taking a feed directly from an exchange, ECN, or other data source. The only problem is integrating all the different feeds. The solution: ticker plant technology from InfoDyne. We make it easy to take Direct Feeds and integrate them into your applications. The market data feeds accessed in this manner are called Direct Feeds.
Direct Feeds are defined as follows:
A feed taken directly from exchanges and other original sources of data; commercial data providers get their exchange data directly from an exchange and other original sources of data
Using InfoDyne’s ticker plant technology, TPS+Plus, and Direct Feeds (which are also available to the regular consumer), the physics couldn’t be simpler: rather than having the data traversing multiple networks, data centers and servers before it ever reaches you, take it direct from the exchange or original data source. Our ticker plant technology takes it from there, normalizes the data, maintains a real-time cache so that information is available on demand to your applications, and publishes the updates as soon as they are received. All of our components have been designed around two fundamental objectives: low latency and high reliability. The result is that an InfoDyne ticker plant adds less than 1.5 milliseconds of latency from the time an update is received until it reaches your application. That’s it!
