Leased line replacement
An end to costly, complex spaghetti networks
Traditional networks are becoming costly to manage as best execution and choice of execution venues has created an increase in data volumes and more complex networks.
MiFID and migration to electronic trading has started to expose the significant shortcomings of traditional leased line infrastructure. Brokers report that they can be connected to as many as a thousand clients or more with every connection backed up with a secondary line for diversity and with a further diverse link to a remote DR site. It's easy to see why these networks become complex and costly to manage.
We make it simple and significantly less expensive
We own our own network. A network designed with HF & algorithmic trading in mind. Not only is it very fast but our pioneering use of state-of-the-art technology means we can securely converge services over a purpose-built private network which never touches the public Internet and is dedicated entirely to the needs of your business. With bags of bandwidth available on our 10 Gigabit Ethernet network we have the luxury of being able to split up and securely insulate each high speed connection into different services.
Just one connection per site gives you all you need...
With just one connection, traders can be connected to multiple trading data feeds and sources of liquidity down a single pipe of connectivity. Each data feed can be separated within secure VLNs with VLAN-specific bandwidth management and QoS capabilities. Each service is presented on physically different ports.
