Fixnetix Selects CorvilClear to Drive Inter-Party Latency Management and Transparency Between its Client Base of Market Participants and Global Liquidity Venues
By Corvil, PRNESunday, November 15, 2009
LONDON and NEW YORK, November 16 - Corvil, innovator of electronic trading and market data latency
management systems, today announced that Fixnetix, the leading provider of
ultra-low latency market data and trading connectivity to liquidity venues
worldwide, is partnering with Corvil to offer CorvilClear to its global
client base of financial institutions. CorvilClear is the first inter-party
latency management system developed for the global electronic trading
industry.
"Our business is focused on providing market participants with a
competitive edge in their electronic trading and market data infrastructure,
by providing the most innovative technologies and services that deliver
ultra-low latency," said Fixnetix Chief Executive Officer, Hugh Hughes.
"Fixnetix utilise Corvil probes to ensure our end-to-end latency metrics
remain the lowest possible in the industry. CorvilClear is the preferred
solution for inter-party latency management with many of our clients and we
look forward to providing them with Corvil's advanced latency measurements
and analytics to multiple markets for further optimization of their trading
strategies."
Launched in April of this year, CorvilClear utilizes peer-to-peer latency
sharing technology to exchange precise performance data and analytics among
trading partners - market participants, liquidity destinations and market
service providers - in a scalable manner. Peering parties mutually agree to
the level of transparency, and enforce the latency sharing policy securely
without exposing any privileged information.
"This new deal signifies a major expansion by Fixnetix of CorvilNet
within their internal infrastructure and a strong commitment to latency
transparency via the adoption of CorvilClear," said Corvil CEO, Donal Byrne.
Fixnetix has been a client since October 2008 when it purchased CorvilNet for
latency management of their network. "The deployment of CorvilClear to
multiple markets enables Fixnetix to competitively differentiate their
low-latency connectivity and market data distribution services to electronic
trading clients," said Byrne. CorvilClear is available immediately via
Fixnetix for fourteen markets globally, with plans to augment up to 35
markets in 2010.
CorvilClear is a peer-to-peer (P2P) based technology for the secure
exchange of latency measurements and analytics between cooperating parties,
and does not require a central mediation authority. CorvilClear leverages
Corvil's time synchronization technology that uniquely overcomes the
requirement for all parties to use common clock synchronization (e.g., GPS).
CorvilClear acts as a catalyst for trading parties to leverage existing
business relationships for their collective benefit without the need to
divulge sensitive or proprietary information. Specifically, a trading
organization with a trusted set of venue and provider relationships can use
CorvilClear to achieve latency management and transparency across the full
trading infrastructure.
