ANZ deployed the solution in its Melbourne and Sydney trading centers, with access available to remote users as the system uses a web browser front-end to access and chart the analytics.

First Derivatives said that Delta Stream, powered by the kdb+ database and developed by Kx Systems, combines flexibility and performance to deliver analytics across any required real-time data and across all asset classes.

ANZ Banking Group global head eFX and franchise Luke Marriott said that the performance of Delta Stream and the kdb+ database has been impressive, even in the face of recent volume spikes the system has continued to perform faultlessly with inherent ability to scale to meet future business expansion.

First Derivatives Australian Operations director Rob Hodgkinson said that Delta Stream provides a comprehensive market data capture and analytics platform, which can feed directly into quantitative analysis and algorithmic trading strategies, which are now an imminent next stage for ANZ to further expand the system.
