Coinciding with the arrowhead’s launch, NYSE Technologies’ market data platform was deployed at 10 trading firms around Tokyo, to support increased trading volumes and the performance demands of fast electronic trading strategies.

The NYSE Technologies solution deploys with either local direct memory access (LDMA) or remote direct memory access (RDMA) middleware and supports data presentation in Japanese or Western book formats. The LDMA-based solution has end-to-end latency of 30 microseconds.

Peter Tierney, senior vice president of NYSE Technologies, said: We are very pleased to offer our proven feed handlers for the TSE and its Arrowhead platform. Ten large international clients have successfully deployed and tested the NYSE Technologies market data platform and feed handler suite for their Arrowhead trading environments.

The technology was developed by our engineering team in Asia over the past 6 months. This team was established in 2009 with an emphasis on working closely with Asia-based markets and clients to ensure the superior speed, reliability and functionality that our feed handlers and middleware have demonstrated in other markets around the world.
