Deutsche Börse Upgrades Telecoms Network for Algo Trading
During the past five months, Deutsche Börse Systems has upgraded its telecommunications backbone network that interconnects international financial centres worldwide in order to meet the rising demands for highest data throughput and ultra low latency - of particular relevance to algorithmic trading. Deutsche Börse Systems has focused on upgrading the links between major European and US financial centres. The minimum capacity was quadrupled and is now set at 1.25 Gbit/s, serving the markets of New York, Chicago, Paris, Amsterdam, Milan and Dublin. For London based customers the capacity has increased to 5 Gbit/s. This enables transmission of the entire content of an audio CD in one second. The upgraded backbone network provides to Deutsche Börse’s trading systems Eurex and Xetra - as well as for external customers and partners - a new unparalleled performance level, according to the vendor.
