Deutsche Boerse – Market Data & Analytics has now made its algorithmic news feed “AlphaFlash” available in a data center in Tokyo. This is the second Asia-Pacific location where AlphaFlash is offered.
AlphaFlash is hosted in the KVH Tokyo Data Center, which is operated by KVH Co., Ltd., a leading Japanese IT and communications service provider.
“As algorithmic and computerized trading continues to evolve in the
Asia-Pacific region, Tokyo has emerged as one of the dominant markets in
this
field. The KVH Tokyo Data Center will allow us to provide AlphaFlash to
local
trading firms and current customers seeking to incorporate machine-readable news directly into their trading applications,” said Georg Gross, Head of
Front
Office Data & Analytics at Deutsche Börse.
“The KVH Tokyo Data Center is the ideal managed environment for supporting
algorithmic electronic trading by offering proximity hosting and ultra
low-latency connectivity to the major exchanges in Japan and key financial
cities in the region. We are very excited to have AlphaFlash available
within our Trading Avenue environment as our customers will certainly benefit from gaining access to this algorithmic news feed,” said Dr. Zhongmin Guo, Vice
President, Telecom and International Business Unit of KVH.
AlphaFlash is now available in nine data centers globally, including
co-location and proximity hosting options in Chicago, New Jersey,
Washington,
Sydney, Frankfurt and in London.
Launched in April 2010, AlphaFlash delivers more than 175 machine-readable
economic indicators from the U.S., Canada and Europe within milliseconds.
Data
content includes central bank interest rate decisions, employment numbers,
housing statistics and gross domestic product figures. A version of
AlphaFlash
that includes macroeconomic data from Asia-Pacific is currently being beta
tested and is scheduled to go into full production in 2011.
The AlphaFlash product range was built by Deutsche Börse’s Market Data &
Analytics segment using resources from its subsidiaries Need to Know News
(NTKN) and Market News International (MNI). As fully accredited news
agencies,
NTKN and MNI have direct access to government lock-up rooms as well as
embargoed news releases. As a result, economic events are processed so they
become available with minimum latency to speed-sensitive algorithms and
professional traders after the embargo has been lifted.
