Hedgehogs.net streaming market data using Kaazing WebSocket technology

Hedgehogs.net, the social marketplace for the financial community, has partnered with Kaazing to enable the site to deliver streaming market data and transactional messaging through HTML5 WebSocket technology. Using Kaazing's WebSocket Gateway, Hedgehogs.net will be able to provide its customers with browser support, while improving data delivery and real-time performance.

Hedgehogs.net is driving the "Software-as-a-Service" approach for financial application deployment, making "enterprise-class" infrastructure capabilities available to financial boutiques as a managed service.

By implementing Kaazing's technology and embracing open standards, Hedgehogs.net is able to provide a hosted open market for both contributors and subscribers within the emerging boutique finance industry.
"We chose Kaazing for their technical leadership, flexible architecture and commitment to the HTML5 standard," says Ken Yeadon, chief executive of Hedgehogs.net. "This rapid integration demonstrated Kaazing's superior architecture, and their technology truly delivers the lowest latency, highest performance and scalability compared with numerous other solutions. Furthermore, their dedication and attentiveness to our needs made them a clear choice when evaluating a technology for this new social market place."
