High capacity circuits do not directly translate
higher performance; there are many variable
consider. Obtaining a direct private fiber connec
between two points is no longer sufficient to en
optimal data transfer speeds. There are m
variables such as fiber footprint, mileage, dropsregenerators
and amplifiers. There are many wa
transport the data such as wavelength, SON
Ethernet and MPLS. There are many carriers
offer varying mileage estimates between sim
points. Each Carrier is subject to his network footp
The best latency today is not guaranteed to be
best in 6 or 12 months. How many times have
been tied into a long contract with a latency that
longer a differentiator and now your competition
caught up? We understand that issue and
concern of signing contracts based on tod
latency. That is why CFN Services guarantee

routes. As a network design firm, we are in
business of building custom network solutions fo
clients. We have taken that expertise and transla

CFN Services specializes in Data Center optimization ensuring
the long haul
and local networks enhance the Enterprise distributed network
strategy. While
a firm may be trading a particular asset class and the majority
of trades may be
directed toward a single venue, the volumes and price-points on
related
exchanges play critical roles in execution decisions. This means
latency must
be minimized from all data sources, not just the venue the
majority of trades are
placed on.
For instance, having the lowest latency on venue A, but being
significantly
behind the market on venue B or C could have disastrous impact
on success of
a trade decision. Its important then, to reach a delicate
balance between the
lowest latencies on all data sources and execution venues. Where
millisecondsand microseconds make a difference to the success of a
trade strategy,
Proximity Hosting Optimization will become the key to success.
CFN is able to
evaluate and design an optimal proximity hosting and network
solution taking
into account priorities of exchanges, market feeds, matching
engines, your
priorities in a cross market trading strategy.

disaster recovery
