Celoxica Launches Single-Server CME/ICE and LIFFE/EUREX Container for Firms Executing Futures HFT Strategies

Celoxica, a leading provider of hardware accelerated low-footprint, high-efficiency market data and trading solutions for high frequency traders, today announced the launch of its hardware accelerated, fully optimized single-server Container™ solution for firms executing high-frequency trading strategies on futures exchanges.

Recent volatility and market volumes in the global futures markets over the past year have led to growth of high frequency trading on the US and European futures markets. For example, trading firms have increasingly sought to capitalize on short-term disparities between pricing on US and European futures markets.

Celoxica’s futures Container provides a fully optimized, ultra-low latency market data and trade execution solution, offering the complete suite of application solutions essential to executing high frequency trading strategies for futures on a single server.

The Container’s hardware accelerated market data and order execution products enable firms who collocate or proximity host to eliminate unnecessary network hops and processing by offloading onto FPGA cards designed to optimize inbound market data and outbound execution speed. The Container’s compact, single-server design also dramatically reduces trading latency and the total cost of running the strategy by reducing the data center footprint required for executing the strategy.

“In the era of trading colocation, physical distance, processing speed, determinism and throughput capacity have been the top priorities,” said Lee Staines, President at Celoxica. “Celoxica’s hardware accelerated Container model further optimizes the trading process by eliminating latency due to suboptimal technology engineering. The result is a fully integrated, all-in-one single-server environment for market data and trade execution, which eliminates architectural latencies and reduces the data center footprint needed to run futures-based trading strategies.”
