Hudson Deploys Fast Fabric to Connect Exchanges
August 25, 2010
Hudson Fiber Networks has deployed a network from Vello Systems that will pack multiple 10 billion-bit-a-second optical signals into a single communications channel.
Vellio, based in Menlo Park, Calif., said the infrastructure will be based on its CX Family of "highly-reliable, ultra-low latency networking fabric." The fabric, which will be governed by a series of service level agreements, is designed expressly for high-frequency trading, it said.
The new network will moduate light in such a fashion as to allow four 10 gigabit signals to be transported in a single standardized telecommunications channel. The fabric can be upgraded to 40 gigabit and 100 gigabit signals, over time.
Hudson Fiber Network, based in Paramus, N.J., connects major data centers in the New York metropolitan firm that house the equipment of electronic trading venues and trading firms. Its equipment also is set up in major financial hubs elsewhere in North America and is designed to be the lowest latency and shortest routes available.
The new network establishes two ultra-low latency metro New York Fast Path fiber routes to connect financial services customers to 1400 Federal Boulevard in Carteret, NJ, where, for instance, the Nasdaq Stock Market operates.The new Fast Paths also connect 300 Boulevard East in Weehawken, NJ, 755 Secaucus Road (and 275 Hartz Way) in Secaucus, NJ, where other exchanges operate, to 1400 Federal Boulevard in Carteret.
“Hudson Fiber Network is committed to delivering our customers the flexibility they need to reach the exchanges and markets as fast as possible,” said Keith Muller, CEO of Hudson Fiber Network.
