Today, at AWS re:Invent, Nasdaq (Nasdaq: NDAQ) and Amazon Web
Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com Inc. company (Nasdaq: AMZN),
announced a multi-year partnership to build the next generation of
cloud-enabled infrastructure for the world’s capital markets.
Beginning in 2022, Nasdaq plans to migrate its
North American markets to AWS in a phased approach, starting with
Nasdaq MRX, a U.S. options market. Nasdaq will use a new edge
computing solution that is co-designed by Nasdaq and AWS and
specifically developed for market infrastructure. This solution may
also be used by other market infrastructure operators and market
participants to move their trading systems to the cloud. In
addition, the partnership will include opportunities to explore new
ways to leverage AWS’s cloud capabilities across Nasdaq’s
anti-financial crime, data and analytics, and market infrastructure
software solutions.
“This landmark partnership with AWS seeks to
power a truly cloud-based market infrastructure that is more
resilient, scalable, and accessible for all market participants,”
said Adena Friedman, President and CEO, Nasdaq.
“For over a decade, Nasdaq has used the elasticity and high
security of AWS to deliver client-driven solutions. Our innovative,
new collaboration with AWS creates a bridge to the future for our
markets and represents the next major step forward in Nasdaq’s
cloud journey.”
“Together, Nasdaq and AWS will change what’s
possible for capital markets organizations, helping them to speed
up innovation and improve business processes,” said Adam
Selipsky, CEO of Amazon Web Services, Inc. “Combining
Nasdaq’s 50 years of expertise in pioneering technology for capital
markets with the proven security, reliability, and resilience of
the world’s leading cloud will help our joint customers and Nasdaq
to continue to grow their businesses and seamlessly transact
billions of dollars in trades per day. Our partnership will give
Nasdaq a way to more easily move their core infrastructure to the
cloud and innovate new services as they continue their second
decade of cloud adoption.”
Building the Capital Markets
Infrastructure of the Future
Core to Nasdaq’s move to AWS will be AWS
Outposts, which extend AWS infrastructure, services, APIs, and
tools to virtually any datacenter, co-location space, or
on-premises facility. Nasdaq plans to incorporate AWS Outposts
directly into its core network to deliver ultra-low-latency edge
compute capabilities from its primary data center in Carteret, New
Jersey. This co-designed edge computing solution would effectively
establish Nasdaq’s data center as the first-ever private AWS Local
Zone for the capital markets industry.
Over time, Nasdaq plans to move additional North
American markets to the cloud with AWS. This hybrid infrastructure
would provide Nasdaq with low-latency access to its on-premises
systems to deliver high-frequency trading capabilities, as well as
give its clients access to cloud-based capabilities, including
virtual connectivity services, market analytics and machine
learning, at a lower cost. Nasdaq expects this migration to the
cloud to enable the adoption of new services and products in a
manner that unlocks value and provides its clients with added
flexibility.
Advancing Cloud-enabled Market
Technology Solutions for the Global Economy
For the 130+ market infrastructure clients –
spanning exchanges, banks, clearing houses, central securities
depositories and regulators – that rely upon Nasdaq for their core
trading, clearing, settlement, and surveillance technology today,
Nasdaq plans to partner with AWS to develop viable cloud choices
that include public-cloud and hybrid models.
Nasdaq also intends to leverage its cloud
journey for its own markets, coupled with the growing number of AWS
Local Zones around the world, and the collective technology
portfolios of the partnership, to create a migration blueprint for
its market technology clients using a combination of public cloud
and edge compute options.
Nasdaq expects that migrating to the cloud will
give its market infrastructure clients added agility and help them
rapidly adjust to ever-changing industry dynamics in their
countries and regions.
Nasdaq’s Cloud Strategy: A Decades-long
Journey for an Interconnected Future
For 50 years, Nasdaq has reimagined markets to
realize the potential of tomorrow. After pioneering electronic
markets half a century ago, Nasdaq developed the highest
performance messaging protocols in the early 2000s, which now serve
as the de-facto industry standard for ultra-low latency trading. In
addition, Nasdaq was one of the first exchange operators to
commercialize its technology, and started using AWS technology in
2008. Today, Nasdaq’s technology solutions drive high performance,
transparency, efficiency, and integrity across the transaction
lifecycle at market infrastructure operators—exchanges, central
counterparty clearing houses, central securities depositories, and
regulators—in over 50 countries.
As Nasdaq looks to redefine the market
technology of the future and tackle the transformation of its core
infrastructure for the decades ahead, it is committed to creating
an interconnected future – one that is safer and stronger for
everyone, in the cloud.

NOTE TO EDITORS
Carteret Data Center: Nasdaq’s
primary data center for its U.S. Equities and Options Markets is
located in the Equinix NY11 facility in Carteret, NJ.
Edge Computing: Edge computing
moves data storage, processing, and analysis closer to endpoints
where data is generated to deliver near-real-time responsiveness
for high-performance applications. AWS’s managed edge hardware and
services extend secure edge computing capabilities to customer
endpoints, allowing them to deploy APIs and tools outside of AWS
data centers in metro areas, 5G networks, on-premises locations,
and on ruggedized devices.
Financial Terms: Nasdaq expects
expenses and investments associated with this partnership to be
consistent with our existing capital allocation framework and
non-GAAP operating expense guidance, while supporting growth
opportunities over the long-term.
Nasdaq MRX: Nasdaq MRX is one
of six U.S. options markets operated by Nasdaq. Nasdaq MRX offers
both a simple customer priority, pro-rata allocation market and a
price-time complex market, complete with a full suite of auction
and crossing orders.
Options Markets: Nasdaq
operates six options markets in the U.S., including Nasdaq MRX, to
buy and sell options on equity and ETF securities with unique
market models that cater to different segments of the options
market.
AWS Local Zones: AWS Local
Zones are a type of AWS infrastructure deployment that places
compute, storage, database, and other select AWS services close to
large population and industry centers. They allow AWS customers to
use select AWS services, like compute and storage services, closer
to more end-users, providing them very low latency access to
applications running locally. Nasdaq and AWS plan to establish a
private AWS Local Zone within the Equinix NY11 data center in
Carteret that is available for Nasdaq’s use only.

of Nasdaq’s and Amazon’s respective annual report on Form 10-K and
other periodic reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange

Nasdaq Non-GAAP Information
In addition to disclosing financial information determined in
accordance with U.S. GAAP, Nasdaq also discloses certain non-GAAP
results of operations, including, but not limited to, non-GAAP
operating expenses, that include certain adjustments or exclude
certain charges and gains that are described in the reconciliation
table of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP information provided at
ir.nasdaq.com/Income-Statement-Trend-Summary-and-GAAP-to-Non-GAAP-Reconciliation.
U.S. GAAP operating expense guidance is not provided by Nasdaq due
to the inherent difficulty in quantifying certain amounts due to a
variety of factors including the unpredictability in the movement
in foreign currency rates, as well as future charges or reversals
outside of the normal course of business. Nasdaq’s management uses
non-GAAP information internally, along with U.S. GAAP information,
in evaluating Nasdaq’s performance and in making financial and
operational decisions. Nasdaq believes its presentation of these
measures provides investors with greater transparency and
supplemental data relating to Nasdaq’s financial condition and
results of operations. These measures are not in accordance with,
or an alternative to, U.S. GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP
measures used by other companies.
