Direct Edge

Among stock exchanges, low latency—the speed at which a stock trade can be processed—is supreme. Direct Edge wanted to reduce the already low latency of its system, while supporting vastly larger trading volumes.

Direct Edge, based in Jersey City, New Jersey, is an electronic marketplace where investors can buy and sell U.S. stocks. Daily trading volumes exceed 1 billion shares. It has 85 employees.

Challenges

  • Direct Edge needed to support major anticipated increases in trading volumes as it moved to become a full-fledged stock exchange.
Beyond low latency today, we wanted enterprise-class scalability, reliability and a vendor with a vision. That’s what makes Informatica so valuable to us.
