Paris, Hong Kong, New York — Sept 22, 2021 — Enyx, a leading developer and provider of ultra-low latency, FPGA-based trading solutions for the financial industry, and BOC International (BOCI) are pleased to announce a strategic relationship where Enyx is providing core technology to enable fast and accurate market data within BOCI’s market making platforms.

BOCI has selected and successfully deployed the Enyx market data processing solution, nxFeed, to power their high-performance market making for securities and derivatives on the Hong Kong Exchange (HKEX).

Andy Tai, Head of Trading Technology, Equity Derivatives, commented, 

“As we looked to improve our trading infrastructure to remain competitive, we felt the need to evaluate the use of FPGA technology with a goal to provide a substantial improvement over existing, legacy software solutions at the company. Enyx came out on top in terms of functionality, latency, and support. One of the key goals of the initiative is our ability to use the same platform for both ultra low latency trading, as well as the less latency sensitive applications. The nxFeed solution supported us in achieving this goal for our production trading infrastructure. We are excited to build upon our already successful relationship with Enyx and leverage their expertise in the high performance trading space to determine where we can use more FPGA technology.”

In addition to reducing market data processing latency and server footprint compared to software-based solutions, nxFeed also provides the flexibility for deployment as an in-application architecture using both PCIe and distributed via UDP multicast over Ethernet.

The Enyx nxFeed solution is a feed handler which streamlines market data application development by processing data feeds for applications via a simple, normalized API. Designed to complement trading applications or in-house ticker plant development, nxFeed will arbitrate, decode, normalize and build order books on a plug-in, FPGA-based NIC — significantly reducing application processing resources. This allows developers to focus on what they do best — build core business logic.

Alexandre Durand, VP of Business Development – APAC, added:

“We’re proud and excited to have this flagship deployment with the BOC International reach a production milestone. This collaboration underlines both the maturity and competency of our solutions and is another demonstration of our commitment to the support of global trading markets. Over the past year, we have seen more firms make the move from in-house, software-based stacks to our FPGA-enabled solutions, such as nxFeed and nxAccess. BOC International has demonstrated their leadership by being one of the first in Asia to deploy FPGA.”
