NYSE Euronext and Juniper Networks are working together to design an ultra-low latency core network for NYSE Euronext’s new consolidated global data centres.

NYSE Euronext and Juniper Networks are working together to design an ultra-low latency core network for NYSE Euronext’s new consolidated global data centres.

Located in the greater New York and London metropolitan areas, NYSE Euronext’s two new data centres will be the primary operational infrastructure supporting several billion daily transactions and quotes across diverse asset classes and geographies. They will be instrumental in NYSE Euronext’s effort to consolidate the total number of its global data centers from ten to four.

Expected to be operational in 2010, the new facilities will provide much greater network scale and efficiency, with plans to use Juniper’s data centre infrastructure solutions and advanced data centre fabric technology to support an internal latency of 50 microseconds roundtrip.

‘Juniper’s simplified data center approach will allow us to deploy a complete ten Gigabit Ethernet network with ultra-low latency at a substantial cost savings,’ says Steve Rubinow (pictured), executive vice president and co-global chief investment officer of NYSE Euronext. ‘Juniper has developed truly unique and innovative technologies that help us to deploy a very high capacity, low latency network that meets the stringent demands of the new data center. With Juniper, we are able to dramatically cut the cost and complexity of managing our data center network today, while continuing to enhance our competitive position with a next-generation data center fabric that will enable us to scale to tens of thousands of 10GbE ports. With such an elastic and efficient infrastructure, we can provide enhanced functionality to our customers at unmatched scale while minimizing total cost of ownership.’ 

‘Competitiveness in the global financial markets is measured in microseconds and the NYSE Euronext trading platform is one of the world’s premiere high-performance networks, supporting billions of transactions each day,’ adds Kevin Johnson, chief executive officer of Juniper Networks. ‘The NYSE Euronext technology vision is in alignment with Juniper’s next generation data center roadmap, which will lead to the creation of a single data center fabric that will deliver a quantum advance in scale, performance and simplicity, while lowering energy consumption and reducing overall operating costs.’

The new simplified NYSE Euronext network design requires fewer devices and interconnections, which it says leads to improved efficiencies in space, power, cooling and management. Juniper Networks’ data centre infrastructure solutions can significantly reduce network complexity and total cost of ownership by up to 52 per cent in capital expenditures, up to 44 per cent in power, up to 44 per cent in cooling and up to 55 per cent in data center rack space.
