Chicago, September 24, 2008: Integral Development Corporation (www.integral.com), the leading independent provider of electronic foreign exchange (eFX) trading systems, announced the availability of 'ultra low latency' solutions for both its FX Inside™ Professional EMS (Execution Management System) and their clients proprietary eFX trading applications.
The move coincides with the expansion of Integral's world class data centers supporting Integral's FX Grid®, a global, Multi-sided Trading Facility (MTF) connecting active market participants with all major sources of FX liquidity.
The new ultra-low latency functionality, called FX Inside™ HD, provides application virtualization for co-location of FX Inside™ Professional alongside FX Grid® while providing a rich application experience from any client device.
"Integral clients configure a private trading exchange by creating their own virtual environment within FX Grid®," Harpal Sandhu, CEO Integral, said. "FX Inside™ HD enhances their trading efficiency by accelerating price discovery from the FX Grid and the speed of execution for the FX Inside™ Professional EMS."
"In addition, clients now have added flexibility for their eFX trading by being free to move from one device to another accessing their EMS from all versions of MS Windows, Mac OS, Linux and other non-Windows trading-related devices," he added.
Sandhu also noted that anyone wishing to leverage Integral's API from customized Complex Event Processing systems (CEP), for example, can minimize latency by co-locating their trading systems in FX Grid®.
Sandhu is addressing this subject on Thursday, Sept. 25 at the annual Forex Network Chicago conference, organized by Profit and Loss, at the city's Mid-America Club.
"FX Grid® is hosted in premier facilities optimized for access to major liquidity providers," said Jon Barker, Integral's VP of Worldwide Sales. "We are offering our customers co-location and the consulting services to help make their projects a success."
