Exchange Data Support

InfoDyne implementations support most of the major global exchange feeds, including the North American, European, and Asian exchanges.

Consolidated Vendor Feed Support

InfoDyne implementations support most major consolidated feeds including Reuters RDF, Bloomberg B-Pipe, Telekurs MDFStream, and/or IDC PlusFeed.

Minimized Data Processing

Interactive access to data within a regional deployment, such that Exchange Servers only publish the data requested from them and customer applications only receive data they have requested, dramatically reducing the processing load on both the Exchange Servers and the customer’s applications.

Execution Management System (EMS) Support

InfoDyne implementations support transaction processing in a normalized manner with numerous trade/order venues including equity, option, and futures exchanges, ECNs, and ATSs. Currently, InfoDyne supports most North American equity, options, and future exchanges. All transaction processing is not only processed in real-time, but is also published back to the system in real-time providing real-time notification of order fills, trade events, order grids, trade grids, etc. All transactions are also made persistent in real-time to relational databases, with hot failover capability between primary and secondary Destination Servers.

Data Filtering

The ability to tailor the field set required by the customer’s application to only those specific data elements required. This filtering can be performed anywhere in the system such that only these data elements are provided to customer applications.

Consolidated Order Books

InfoDyne has the ability to combine any number of order book feeds from ARCA, ITCH, OpenBook, DirectEdge, BATS, and other order book feeds into multiple consolidated views of the market.

High Reliability & Redundancy

Our ticker plant platform is designed for high availability; no single component failure can cause an interruption in service. Hot redundant exchange and data feed servers function in the system in a load balanced manner. Subscriptions are equally distributed to both instances, with failover of only half the subscriptions to a remaining server in the event of a feed or system failure.

Common TPS and EMS API

InfoDyne provides common middleware API and infrastructure technology utilized for both market data and trade/order transactions, extending all system services to customer applications using common data models and programming methods allowing for rapid development and integration of additional feeds and venues.

Data Blending

InfoDyne has the ability to blend data from multiple sources, combining real-time, fundamental, and static data to create synthetic objects that are published within the system.

Single Name Space Source Resolution

InfoDyne implementations support Single Name Space, providing request resolution services for applications such that they do not need to be aware of where services are hosted or how data is sourced.

Entitlements & Certification Reports

InfoDyne implementations have the ability to authenticate user applications connecting to the system and entitle access to all data throughout the system, supporting the generation of usage reports that have been certified by the exchanges.

Data Model Flexibility

InfoDyne supports data models based on self-describing data allowing content to be added/subtracted on the fly without having to modify/upgrade existing applications. This also allows new features to be implemented without having to recompile applications and allows data to be easily shared between different platforms (Windows, Linux, Solaris).

Network Friendly

Data subscriptions are handled within the middleware level, not the TCP/IP or multicast level. This allows for more efficient use of bandwidth and greater flexibility without being restricted to network topologies, or having to involve network design into the subscription model.

Scalable Architecture

InfoDyne implementations are based on a system architecture that allows for both horizontal and vertical scaling, both within the feed handlers and within the middleware domain, ensuring full throughput and a flat sub-millisecond latency response regardless of message rates.

Point-to-Point Connectivity

InfoDyne’s architecture also supports point-to-point connections for customer client sessions, allowing customer applications to run on any TCP/IP connected computer, even outside the multicast domain (i.e. web-based).

Regional Deployment

Regional deployment of locally sourced data feeds, execution venues, infrastructure, and client applications. Each region is capable of operating in a completely independent manner, with all components deployed in a redundant and fault-tolerant configuration.

Seamless Communication Across Regions

Regional deployments communicate with other regions through interactive Gateways (ITOD/GW). These gateways will reflect services from a remote region on to the local system as if they were running locally, providing seamless application integration.

Interactive Gateways

Interactive Gateways only send/receive data that is necessary to/from the remote region, dramatically reducing the required bandwidth necessary between regions.

Platform Independent

InfoDyne’s implementations are platform independent, providing seamless, multi-platform integration with Reuters Triarch®, TIB® and RMDS®; IBM WebSphere®, and InfoDyne’s own Middleware2.

Load Balancing

Requests are shared equally among all participating sources of a service, allowing load-balancing across multiple sources of the same data. If the load becomes too high, simply add an additional source and the problem is solved. No network changes required, no client changes required, it’s all dynamic.

Full Range of OS Platforms & API Languages

Products are available on three platforms (Windows, Linux & Solaris) with API support in multiple languages (C++, C#, Java, VB, .NET, and COM). API functionality and usage is virtually identical in each of the languages providing a common knowledge base and rapid design/integration.

Excel Plug-Ins

Data can also be subscribed to and published from Excel spreadsheets. Excel RTD Macro plug-ins are available to enable real-time integration of data within Microsoft Excel.

Dynamic System Changes

At all tiers of the system, scaling takes place independently and dynamically by simply adding additional component instances while the system is running. This is also useful when upgrading a system since older components can be taken down and new releases brought back up dynamically.

No Upgrade Dependencies

There are no component upgrade dependencies, since all product releases are designed with backwards compatibility in mind. Older components and applications can always connect and publish/subscribe to data from newer component versions.

Highly Versatile Middleware & API

Middleware2 is a general purpose platform, that can be used to not only publish/subscribe market data, but it can also publish/subscribe other types of data. Full depth of book, order & trade routing events, custom data (such as XML documents, proprietary binary data)… anything can be published through the same middleware & API.

Central Operational Management

Central operational management capability of the complete system is available, including the ability to monitor, measure, report, diagnose, and correct data processing, content, distribution, delivery, and latency issues within and across regions.

Statistics Metrics

Full and complete status and statistics metrics are available throughout the system: there are thousands of metrics that can be managed and monitored through standard SNMP tools and/or through InfoDyne Administrative Desktop application that provide command and control of the entire system.

Modular Design

Software is modular in design. Initial roll-out can include a tailored deployment. Additional components can be added as needed.
