In a December 2022 interview at AWS re:Invent, Bradley Peterson stated that Nasdaq had moved one of its U.S. options markets, the MRX Exchange (called Mercury), to production on AWS as of November 7. He described options markets as the most challenging due to high volume and performance demands, and said the new platform achieved better performance than Nasdaq's previous platform. Peterson noted that Nasdaq used AWS Outposts to extend the AWS region into its Carteret, New Jersey data center, which he said simplified conversations with regulators. Peterson also said Nasdaq announced plans to offer a digital assets custody solution through the Amazon marketplace. He characterized the collaboration with AWS as "modernizing the capital market's infrastructure together."
“I work with Adena Friedman, she's my boss, CEO of NASDAQ, and she was on stage with Adam for his first Keynote as CEO of AWS. And we made the commitment that we were going to move our markets to the Cloud.”
“We said we were going to move one of our options markets. In the US, we have six of them, and options markets are the most challenging โ they're the most high volume and high performance.”
“I can sit here and say that November 7th โ so we are live, we're in production โ and the MRX Exchange is called Mercury, so we shortened it for MRX.”
“We took the Edge Compute that was announced a few years ago, Amazon Outposts, and we were one of their early customers. We extended the region into our Carteret data center in Northern New Jersey, which gave us all the services that we know and love from Amazon.”
“In the markets what we're doing is we need to connect fairly. By bringing it into our building and extending the Edge Compute platform, the AWS Outpost into Carteret, that allowed us to also talk very succinctly with our regulators.”
“We said we wanted the performance to be as good or better than our current platform that we have. And we achieved better performance, so that's noticeable by our customers.”
“We announced that in our marketplace, the Amazon marketplace, we are going to offer digital custody, digital assets custody solution.”
“Modernizing the capital market's infrastructure together.”
