NYSE Euronext's Data Center Vision Ups Speed Ante

interesting article from Securities Industry News:

>>NYSE Euronext's Data Center Vision Ups Speed Ante

The data centers NYSE Euronext is building in New Jersey and suburban London were expected to be cutting-edge facilities, but the announcement earlier this month that they will run on a 100 gigabit network raises the ante in the securities industry's never-ending quest for speed.

When the centers go live next year, said Stanley Young, co-global chief information officer of NYSE Euronext and head of its commercial technology business, they will be supported by networking equipment from Linthicum, Md.-based Ciena Corp. and NYSE's Secure Financial Transaction Infrastructure (SFTI), which links to all the displayed U.S. equities venues and will soon replace the exchange operator's legacy infrastructure in Europe.
