Selerity Leverages CFN Services' Alpha Platform Expanding its Low-latency Event Data Distribution Network to Global Trading Venues

Herndon, VA (PRWEB) October 10, 2011

CFN Services, Inc., the leading provider of managed high-frequency trading enablement services, announced today that Selerity, a provider of real-time event data solutions for the financial services industry has selected CFN Services Alpha Platform to extend low-latency access to its event data worldwide. Electronic traders can now access Seleritys low-latency event data locally without the use of long-distance telecommunications infrastructure in all major global financial centers.


CFNs Alpha Platform significantly decreases the time and costs associated with prospective clients evaluating Seleritys event data in real-time that do not have infrastructure in Seleritys current datacenters located in Chicago, New Jersey, or Frankfurt. The combination of CFNs global market data solutions and co-located access to Seleritys market-moving event data creates an industry-leading, integrated event-based trading solution.


Real-time event data is a critical component in many of todays multi-factor trading and risk-management strategies. The ability to gain access to various market-moving events in real-time to incorporate into their global investment strategies can offer trading firms a distinct competitive advantage. Because many of Seleritys event data sets are locally produced and distributed, trading firms can benefit from obtaining Selerity data close to specific trading venues with the lowest latencies possible.


With Seleritys existing physical presence in Chicago, New Jersey and Frankfurt, the Alpha Platform will expand our reach to a broader global audience, said Ryan Terpstra, founder and CEO of Selerity. Integration with CFNs Alpha Platform provides optimized low-latency connectivity to all the major financial datacenters around the globe including Toronto, London, Tokyo, Brazil and additional NY/NJ metro area trading venues.
