The SIFMA Tech Leaders Forum and Expo 2012 comes to New York City on June 19th.  Taking place at the Hilton, the financial technology specialists will emerge to meet, greet and learn about new trends in the industry.  Attending this year’s event are key emerging communication companies including FiberMedia Group, Cross River Fiber, Sidera Networks and many more.

So what makes these three companies so special?  Let’s start with FiberMedia Group.

FiberMedia is an enterprise-class managed data center provider with strength throughout the New York metro market.  What most companies don’t realize is that FiberMedia’s NY Metro footprint is the 2nd largest in the region.  This is special because as a focused, specialized provider, FiberMedia’s solutions are flexible and reliable, delivering the financial services market intelligent data center solutions.  Another key benefit FiberMedia offers the financial community is direct connectivity to key exchange hubs located in Northern New Jersey – FiberMedia has one of the fastest routes to key financial hubs.  Finally – FiberMedia’s FlexCloud solution is like no other.  Managed cloud solutions by FiberMedia surpass what ‘traditional’ cloud services can offer.  To learn more visit FiberMedia’s booth at SIFMA.

Another emerging player in the financial technology services space is Cross River Fiber.  Cross River Fiber knows fiber optics.  As a New Jersey-based CLEC and boutique dark fiber optic and telecommunications solutions company, they know that businesses – like the financial services market – demands speed.  They design and construct custom dark fiber network solutions that offer companies the scalability, redundancy and predictability they require.  While at SIFMA, Cross River Fiber will be discussing their ultra-low latency routes – which are constructed on the most direct physical paths possible.  In addition, Michael Sevret, the company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer will be meeting with key industry players, media and analysts to introduce the latest network updates – specifically for the financial services markets.  To schedule a meeting with Sevret, email crossriver@imillerpr.com – for more information visit www.crossriverfiber.com.

Last, but certainly not least is Sidera Networks.  On the heels of the company’s announcement that it has built a network ring to connect Digital Realty Trust’s data centers in Chicago, NJ, NY and Ashburn, VA – the company will be exhibiting at SIFMA to showcase the strength of its Xtreme Ultra-Low Latency network.  SIFMA is an ideal event for Sidera because it serves the largest US Market Data feeds in Equities, Options, Futures and Commodities and is a key transport provider for major financial community markets.   With connectivity to all of the first tier electronic trading venues throughout the major financial centers along the North East Corridor.  This network reach, coupled with the strength of its network’s capabilities to deliver ultra fast network solutions, Sidera is a company to visit for sure.  Look for their booth on the exhibit floor at SIFMA or visit http://www.sidera.net.
