Abstract: Embodiments of the transmission latency leveling apparatuses, methods and systems provide an electronic bidding order management infrastructure, such as a “point-of-presence,” which receives and routes electronic trading orders from different trading entities at a server via a transmission medium to create a certain amount of transmission latency before the trading orders could arrive at and be executed at electronic exchanges to reduce latency arbitrage and/or order book arbitrage that may be experienced by high frequency trading participants. A similar transmission latency may be applied to the egress transmission of market data updates issued by an electronic exchange. Other techniques for facilitating electronic trading are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and system operate to secure and efficiently manage data. The method includes performing steps such as generating independent keys corresponding to multiple portions of segmented data and utilizing the independent keys to encrypt the multiple portions of segmented data. The method additionally includes generating a master key, encrypting the independent keys with the master key, and storing each portion of the segmented data adjacent to the corresponding independent key in a data and key storage device. The method additionally includes segmenting the master key, thereby creating multiple master key segments and storing the multiple master key segments in disparate locations separate from the data.

Abstract: A Data Synchronization and Failover Management (DSFM) system monitors simultaneous execution of non-identical instances of a software application and may label as a particular result of the software application the earliest output corresponding to that result produced by one of the instances. The DSFM may label one of the instances as a primary instance and the other instances as secondary instances and, if the primary instance fails, may re-label one of the secondary instances that computed all of the operations associated with the last result produced prior to the failure of the primary instance, as a new primary instance.

Abstract: In a system for executing transaction requests, a received request for a transaction in an item is delayed prior to matching that request with another request for transaction in that item by a delay based on a communication delay and/or a processing delay. The communication delay represents the time required to receive updated information about the item and the processing delay represents the time required to compute an updated item price using the received updated information.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a novel system and method for TCP-to-multicast (T2M) communications. The T2M techniques may allow a client to make a single TCP connection that then fans out into communications with multiple back-end resources. Such one-to-many communications may be invisible to the client but can achieve many practical benefits.

Abstract: Embodiments of the Message Retransmission Mechanism Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“MRM”) transform application requests for message journals via MRM components into expedited access to segmented message streams. In one implementation, the MRM may obtain message journal of messages written by applications during system operations and divide up the message obtained from the complete message journal into message segments. In some implementations, the MRM may provide recovering applications access to said message segments for expedited message consumption.
