Low Latency Solutions for 2012

by Jhoan Checo, Account Director, FiberMedia Group

There’s a lot of discussion out there about Low Latency in the Financial Services industry.  With 2012 just starting, we wanted to compile some predictions and observations shared in a variety of sources, related to the Financial Services industry.

One Size DOES NOT Fit All

The one size fits all mentality is a thing of the past.  Financial Service companies have a specific need for specialized feeds direct from exchanges.  There is a growing need in the market for improved latency for the more traditional and larger real time subscriber base of the financial services industry, where speed is important but other attributes that are antithetical to speed are valued such as tick integrity for pre-trade analytics and strategy back testing.  Those techniques are increasingly important to the trade cycle, book depth management, synthetic NBBO’s, risk obligations, and credible exchange models offering protection against high frequency strategies.

Since one size DOES NOT fit all, FiberMedia works with its clients to combine traditional capabilities with cutting-edge technology in order to support their specific needs.

Low Latency Solutions Still Have a Place

Financial Services Technology DealIt is proven that Low-Latency applications run more effectively with a one-source infrastructure support solution.  FiberMedia has partnered with Hudson Fiber Network (HFN), to provide high-bandwidth, low-latency networking solutions for the financial industry.  Last fall, HFN has extended its dark fiber network into FiberMedia’s Secaucus, New Jersey data center to ensure low latency connectivity is available.  This is important because ultra low latency for single digit microsecond performance will continue to be a core requirement for algorithmic traders, access to real-time market feeds and an array of other real-time financial trading applications that depend on speed to beat the market.

In 2012, trading firms recognize that they need optimized, high performance trading applications with low latency and ultra fast access to market liquidity and trading venues.  Reducing latency is crucial to gain visibility and manage the fluidity between IT supply and the ever-increasing industry demand.
