In addition to our flagship product, The Market Information Server (MIS)™, SpryWare is offering FASTOR. SpryWare FASTOR is a complete archive of every trade and quote on all major equities, options, and futures. The FASTOR archive is stored in the FIX Adapted for STreaming (FAST) format. The FAST Protocol, sponsored by FIX Protocol Ltd. and co-authored by SpryWare, is the highly compact market data standard that radically reduces the bandwidth required to transmit ever-increasing real-time market data message rates. By leveraging field encoding, implicit tagging, and serialization FAST reduces bandwidth consumption by up to 90%. The SpryWare MIS ™ processes raw exchange data in various formats and normalizes them using FAST. This FAST feed is then databased and archived. In applying the protocol to mass storage of tick-by-tick data, SpryWare is able to make available very large amounts of tick data in files that are a fraction of the size of our competitors. These large amounts of data are then made immediately available to our clients and retrieved with ease due to their size. Complex blackbox and algorithmic trading strategies that require tick-by-tick data combined with rapidly rising market data volumes make data storage and retrieval a major concern. SpryWare FASTOR allows traders to pursue these strategies with ease.
