Overview

At Wombat, the focus is on providing the products and services required to service the next generation of trading floors.

Wombat has been servicing the needs of the evolving automated trading market since 1999. Our first products were feed handlers for OPRA and the NASDAQ direct exchange feeds. Over the years, our offerings have crystallized to form the complete "Next Generation Market Data Infrastructure" offered today. Components include:

• Feed handlers for Global Direct Exchange feeds, ECNs and leading aggregated vendors.
• Distributed ticker plant technology with caching, subscription management, normalization, symbology mapping, fault-tolerance and entitlements.
• Simple platform and O/S agnostic market data APIs with entitlements, data quality, and order book data.
• Ultra low latency market data focused transport technology with built in support for big consumer/small consumer, client side conflation, and object/vector based messaging.
• Market data infrastructure components including cascading caches, bridges and aggregation engines.
• Integration components and 'tick-capture' adapters allowing off-the-shelf integration with leading time series engines, calculation servers, signal servers and order management systems.
• On-site / off site managed services with 24/7 support covering the US, Europe and Asia.

Our product line is geared towards providing powerful, flexible, and reusable components for the market data and automated trading industries. More technical overviews, including white papers, are also available.

Open Source Philosophy

The Wombat philosophy is to deliver choice through engineering. Our solutions are designed to be 'Agnostic' to data sources, middleware platforms, hardware and operating systems.

Wombat client side APIs are supported on Windows, Linux and Solaris. C, C++, Java and Com implementations are available.

Our software supports legacy market data platforms including Triarch, ciServer/Tib Classic, and RMDS. These solutions are superceded by MAMA next generation market data platforms.

Wombat's software products are based on open standards and are intended to integrate easily into existing environments. Source code is available to many of the products under a limited open source license.

Global Coverage

We currently have feed handlers for over 120 direct exchange and aggregated vendor data feeds and continue to work with leading Tier 1 banks to expand our global coverage.
