to CME & NYMEX products

Frankfurt/Chicago – RTS Realtime Systems Group, a leading independent software vendor today announces that it now offers customers TRUE DMA to CME Globex & NYMEX through the combination of RTD and the high performance & ultra low latency solution CME LNet.

CME LNet is a customer-managed solution offering 40mb redundant fiber connections to the CME Globex platform via specified collocation facilities.
