NYSE Technologies Introduces The World’s First Capital Markets Community Platform

NYSE Technologies, the commercial technology division of NYSE Euronext, today announced the launch of the financial services industry’s first cloud platform, the Capital Markets Community Platform. Designed to increase business agility, simplify market access and reduce trading friction by utilizing rapid on-demand computing resources, this enterprise-level platform was developed in partnership with cloud computing experts VMware (NYSE: VMW) and EMC (NYSE: EMC) to address the unique performance and security requirements of financial services firms.

The Capital Markets Community Platform will offer a range of cloud-based services that enable customers to easily purchase the computing power required at a given time so they can focus on their core business strategy rather than complex IT infrastructure design and maintenance. It provides direct, on-demand access to the entire NYSE Technologies portfolio of high-performance, low-latency services including Superfeed ^SM, the Risk Management Gateway ^SM (RMG) and Managed Services Hub ^SM, and the global Liquidity Center Network ^SM. The Community Platform and all the related services are delivered over SFTI® with the scalability and reliability of NYSE Technologies’ regulated, transparent service model.

“We began working with VMware and EMC with a goal of creating not only the first cloud-based platform in the financial services industry, but a completely new model in customer service and business empowerment,” said Stanley Young, CEO, NYSE Technologies. “By leveraging our global reach as a leading exchange operator and technology provider, the cloud is a key component in our effort to create a virtual capital markets community with rapid access to global markets and actionable market information. All of this comes with absolutely no hardware investment, costly infrastructure maintenance or extended time to market for customers, giving them the opportunity to focus on their core business strategies.”

Built on a foundation of industry-leading cloud infrastructure and management technologies, including VMware vSphere®, VMware vCloud® Director and VMware vShield™ security solutions as well as the EMC VNX™ series of unified storage platforms leveraging EMC FAST VP and FAST Cache, the Capital Markets Community Platform is designed to securely and efficiently process mission-critical financial services tasks. The Community Platform expedites the creation and launch of new trading strategies and third-party services to the capital markets community through the rapid provisioning of computing power and market data within an ultra flexible, high-performance cloud framework.
