Hibernia’s secure Global Financial Network (GFN) for high performance, protected connectivity between Frankfurt and Chicago. Deutsche Börse Systems chose Hibernia’s GFN because of its full route diversity throughout the entire transAtlantic, long-haul network, as well as down to the local metro loop level. The new high capacity route will serve Deutsche Börse Group’s large financial client base. The route also avoids highly congested network areas, such as around the New York and London waterways, thereby offering security through physical diversity.

As a leading technology service provider in the financial sector, Deutsche Börse Systems offers a wide range of solutions to optimize the processes and systems of financial service and global capital markets providers. The Deutsche Börse Systems network architecture provides the required low latency, high capacity and failsafe robustness. The new GFN high-bandwidth link Frankfurt–Chicago will be integrated into Deutsche Börse Systems’ backbone network, further improving routing diversity and latency performance.

“With the optimization and diversification of our ultra low latency network between the major financial hubs in Europe and the US, we provide a real benefit to our customers.” states Michael Girg, Director Networks Support of Deutsche Börse Systems. “Partnering with Hibernia for the critical transAtlantic routes gives us the flexibility and diverse connectivity needed to meet the most stringent demands of financial networks.”

Built upon 24,000 kilometers of fiber optic cable, with diversity at every level of the network, the GFN has over 100 Points ofPresence (POPs) throughout North America and Europe. With its unique combination of unprecedented diversity and low latency, Hibernia’s GFN offers some of the most reliable and fastest financial routes in the marketplace.

“Any network outage or lagging latency can translate to the loss of millions on the trading floors,” states Eric Gutshall, EVP of Sales and Marketing of Hibernia Atlantic. “We’ve engineered the GFN specifically to address the demanding performance requirements of the financial sectors, further ensuring our clients maintain their competitive advantages. We are committed to our industry-leading SLAs and to delivering active services very fast.”

BTI Systems Introduces Ultra Low Latency Transponder with 20 Nanosecond Transit Time

Dual 10G Transponder Sets the Benchmark for Speed when Time Equals Money

OTTAWA, June 14, 2010 // As others tout speeds in milliseconds and microseconds, BTI Systems is raising the bar for 10G networks, setting the benchmark for ultra low latency route performance with 20 nanosecond transit time in network deployments. The ability to transmit information in nanoseconds meets the needs of service providers and enterprises where ultra low latency connectivity is required to maintain a competitive advantage. Businesses including financial firms conducting direct access trades on the Electronic Communications Network, high-frequency trading applications, and cloud networks running delay-sensitive applications are built on speed of transactions.

Available today, the Low Latency Dual 10G Transponder is optimized to ensure rapid system processing and transparent transmission for 10GE, 10G Fibre Channel and wavelength services. Validated through customer network testing, BTI Systems Low Latency 10G Dual Transponder adds a mere 20-30 nanosecond delay in transmission. This value is equivalent to 6 meters of fiber cable, adding virtually no latency into the network. The 10G DTPR-L, along with EDFA amplifiers and FBG Dispersion Compensation Modules provides an optimized, engineered approach to low latency networking for campus, metro and regional applications. This portfolio capability enables network and service providers to address a diverse range of applications for on-demand services for communications, securing business-critical information, and collaborating with partners and content suppliers.

“In today’s competitive financial marketplace, speed matters. Reducing latency by mere microseconds can provide measurable advantages to traders and financial firms,” states Robert McMann, VP of Provisioning and Procurement for Hibernia Atlantic. “Hibernia’s Global Financial Network was specifically designed to deliver low latency, secure connectivity which is critical to the financial marketplace. Rapid transaction response is crucial and the ability of a network to handle equipment latency at nanosecond rates translates into millions of dollars for our customers.”

“Our design philosophy is to create industry-leading platforms providing high operational value that are simple to deploy,” said Robert Keys, chief architect, Optical, BTI Systems. “In part, this means a no-nonsense design tuned for rapid transmission. The 10G transponder solution epitomizes this approach and that translates directly into customer profitability.”

“Hibernia Atlantic has been promoting the fibre optic cable throughout the island of Ireland,” stated Mr. Thorvardarson. “This has resulted in the recent announcement of Tibus, a subsidiary of UTV Media plc, as a partner for marketing and supporting the first ever fibre optic cable capacity to come directly into Northern Ireland directly from the USA. Other announcements have included, RTE selecting Hibernia Media, a subsidiary of Hibernia Atlantic, for high performance, fibre network capacity for international contribution links for its television news services and programmes. Locally, North West Electronics has expanded its wireless network with Hibernia Altantic’s fibre connectivity for Project Kelvin. So there are all sorts of interesting and wonderful things taking place because of Kelvin.”

“I also spoke at the New York – New Belfast Conference this week in New York City, which showcased various aspects of Northern Ireland, and provided businesses the opportunity to learn from best practice,” commented Mr. Thorvardarson. “This was a great opportunity to discuss how important the Kelvin infrastructure is when businesses are making a decision to locate in Northern Ireland.”
