Compared to its competitors, eStijl gets vital data to investors with a fraction of the latency
In the cutthroat world of stock, financial and derivative exchanges, data speed offers an edge over competitors. eStijl Co., Ltd. has developed an ultra-low latency distributed messaging system that can transfer massive amounts of data from exchanges with a latency of just 120 nanoseconds in a multithreading environment.
“The important thing for our clients is that financial and market data reaches them with as little delay as possible,” explains eStijl Founder and CEO Hiroshi Minaguchi. “How much data can you process at one time, and how much can you decrease your latency? It all comes down to messaging technology.”
While common distributed messaging systems such as RabbitMQ enable cluster systems to handle several million messages per second with latencies measured in milliseconds, eStijl technology allows a single PC server to handle similar throughput with a latency of only 1.4 microseconds.
The eStijl Plus service provides clients with financial market information in real-time.
Inside & Out Comprehension
Founded in 2000, eStijl develops all of its software in-house, paying special attention to connective elements like memory management and networking technology. While developers can purchase third-party messaging software to build applications around, the inner workings are often guarded company secrets, making it impossible to identify the sources of problems.
By contrast, eStijl programs everything down to the component technologies in-house, and even designates the hardware on which the system runs. “It allows us to minimize the unknowns,” Minaguchi explains. “Our clients know they’re in good hands – we provide a reliable and trustworthy service.”
Component Technologies Drive Success
eStijl has patented a number of its component technologies, including a system that can identically handle both serialized and non-serialized data streams (serialization is a process whereby data is numbered so the data structure can be reconstructed identically in the end-user’s computer environment).
Another eStijl patent helps reduce latency by rerouting data streams more efficiently. By adding a timestamp to each data packet as it’s processed at each stop along the way, a detailed record is created that can identify bottlenecks and work around them.
Market Management
In March 2016, eStijl began providing market data from the CME Globex electronic trading platform. It plans to expand to cover the Japan Exchange Group (JPX), Singapore’s SGX, Hong Kong’s HKEx, the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and Eurex within the next few years, and has longer-term plans for businesses in London and Chicago supporting NASDAQ and the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE).
With clients including credit rating agencies and market commentary companies, eStijl is working to build worldwide partnerships to expand its sales and support network. Meanwhile, Minaguchi hopes to continue improving existing component technologies and software applications, as well as developing new ones, to raise eStijl’s data processing capacity.
“Our component technologies are the foundation of what we do,” explains Minaguchi. “It’s through continual fine-tuning that we’re able to provide an affordable, reliable service.”
