Aquis Exchange PLC, through its division Aquis Technologies, has announced the introduction of Aquis Equinox.
The new tool is a market-grade matching engine that is regulated and functions non-stop without any pause or interruption. It is the first of its kind ever created.
Equinox is equipped to sustain trading operations during maintenance, software updates, increased capacity, system changes, member registration and data management.
The press release revealed the system’s capacity to quickly address a range of errors and switch to an alternate service without any manual interference.
Additionally, the risk of split-brain distributed computing problems, which would usually need human input to find the primary system components, can be avoided.
Managing Director, Aquis Technologies, Adrian Ip, said:
With the ability to run an exchange system without the need for shut-down, our ambition to offer “exchanges as a service” has now become a reality. Through a shared ecosystem in which downtime is not a requirement, Aqui’s matching engine enables the economies of scale to be shared across exchange platforms, delivering significant benefits to customers.
