AboveNet can provide operational flexibility for clients. Te services provided can be managed or un- managed, they can run over a shared infrastructure for additional cost savings, offered as a private service or delivered as dedicated fibre where ultra- low latency is absolutely key. “Even if a potential company is looking for a standard Ethernet service AboveNet has various means of delivery and many different products giving true flexible bandwidth options to our customers.” adds Berryman.
As a financial Extranet provider TNS has multiple POPs (Points of Presence) in cities like New York, London and other cities globally, where it can bring in diverse carriers and diverse POPs as well as other diverse hardware onto their network. Schwartz says, “Our backbone is a fully resilient mesh network having multiple access in and out of each node - there is no point of failure. We don’t put anything in the middle and we provide encrypted packets.” No point of failure is key especially in FX since the market can literally be traded 24hrs a day.
TNS offers clients trading FX and equities with the option of sharing all their bandwidth with all their trading partners. Clients can purchase a ‘Tier-1 worth’ of bandwidth in order to run all of their trading connectivity over it. Or, an institution can decide that this is not the way they want to run it.
Schwartz adds: “In the FX space that is not how market participants want to deal with matters. What they want to do is say: ‘For each client I want ‘X’ amount of bandwidth allocated to them.” Part of that reason is down to the higher bandwidth requirements.
Network design and architecture
Tere is also the matter of balancing costs and demographics to be considered in respect of network architectures. “Tat whole concept is really the first issue that customers need to deal with,” says Schwartz. “Whilst there is a certain effort among some to consolidate, I think what we’re already starting to see in the industry is that the market [FX] is spreading more globally than ever before. So, that process becomes this cat and mouse game.” Instead, he argues that by selecting the right network strategy, “you’re better positioned to be showing that you have a quality network.” Ensuring that low and ultra-low latency rates plus resiliency are broadly aligned and meeting
