Eliminating Backhaul for Low Latency, Financial Networks - NJFX

Eliminating Backhaul for Low Latency, Financial Networks

December 14, 2016

Low latency is a common concern for many network providers, especially those who support customers within the finance sector, who heavily rely on speedy connections to maintain a competitive advantage and achieve optimal business performance. To successfully offer that low latency financial institutions crave, network providers always have to go back to the question of backhaul.

The key to maintaining a low latency network is having a clear and short fiber route. A clear fiber route has by far the biggest impact on latency and if a data center has two routing options, then the shortest one of the two is always the better option.

Unfortunately, fiber is not always routed along the most direct path between locations, and the cost of rerouting fiber can be very high, which has caused some operators to build new low latency fiber routes between key financial centers and employ low-latency systems to run over these links. Luckily, in NJFX’s case, we took this into account when building our Tier III facility in Wall, NJ.

NJFX offers a unique opportunity, as our campus sits atop the landing points of subsea cables from around the globe, allowing customers to bypass bottlenecks like New York, Newark and Piscataway, thereby eliminating the need for traditional backhaul solutions. By facilitating direct interconnection options at the cable-end and eliminating the need for backhaul altogether, control is put back in the hands of the carrier-neutral operators, enterprises and of course, financial firms.

As you can guess, the facility’s location and proximity to key subsea cable landing points is a highly sought after location that fosters domestic and international strategic partnerships for interconnection. This allows financial exchanges between the US, Europe and LATAM to have lower latency going through NJFX’s data center in Wall than, say, one in other locations across the Northeast. That isn’t all either, to compliment its already robust low latency network, NJFX will be investing in the development of a strategically placed monopole. Stay tuned for more details!
