Why We're Different
Unlike other services available on the market, we are the only firm to offer a 100% hardware solution using field programmable technology
Trading continues to become ever more complex placing more and more demand on market data transportation and feed handling. Full hardware programming is the only technology available designed to handle today’s market volumes and volatility (and accommodate anticipated complexity across the asset classes) without risk of compromising latency.
Fully programmable hardware is the only technological solution offering deterministic and scalable sub-microsecond latency through the trading lifecycle.

Zero bottlenecks - data feed handling, normalisation and filtering all within the hardware processor Sub-microsecond or nanosecond latency for level 1 markets where ultra-low latency is critical 1 to 1.5 microseconds for complex markets where order-by-limit is calculated within the FPGA Data distribution fan-out removing the need for TCP/IP and NIC cards |
Management of a range of virtual order books in the FPGA: standard exchange order books plus client-driven order-books Client algorithms can connect algorithmic engines directly to the appliance offering a latency efficient and neutral approach A unique development framework permitting clients to develop their own algorithms within the NovaSparks appliance, generating unrivalled tick-to-trade performance |
Scope to extend the FPGA within the NovaSparks appliance to include smart order routing, compliance & risk engine and order generation for true tick-to-trade capabilities No use of processors (CPUs) for data processing. Our hardware-only approach guarantees deterministic latencies Customers can add their own code in dedicated FPGAs
