CFN Revolutionizes Low Latency Networking for Electronic Trading
It is a well-known fact that in general faster is between when it comes to almost everything in the world. In the Electronic Trading industry being the first in the queue is not just better, it can mean over a million of dollars for your company. One must think when millions of dollars at stake, every aspect of the equation is needed to be evaluated. Not to worry, CFN Services is now providing Electronic Traders a new aspect to their low latency goal. They are now in the race to Alpha and there is a new variable in the mix as well. In the past many Electronic Trading firms have had very little say in the options available for their network choices. They were held captive to a large Carrier or an Electronic Trading Extranet provider. By the Carrier having a network footprint that was not optimized for the Electronic Trading, instead it was only optimized for the legacy voice services; and trading platform provider in which the Carrier was utilizing the legacy network to help maximize their network efficiencies. When a company is requires low latency, a legacy voice backbone network cannot make this idea happen.
CFN Services has since turned this model upside down by creating their own circuits that are specific for the Electronic Trading space. They did this by utilizing optimal spans from multiple carriers and were able to create specific routes that are specifically focused on latency. CFN Services then were able to provide customized networks for those firms that require a higher-level network optimization to reach their low latency goals. CFN has since then developed turnkey networks to the top Global trading exchanges in Chicago, New York, Boston, Toronto, London, Frankfurt, Paris, Tokyo, and Hong Kong.
