Case Study

Challenge: Maintain a competitive advantage by providing fast data feeds, maximum up-time and low latency performance for customers delivering market feed data to the financial industry.

Solution: By colocating their ticker plant and market data feeds within the Telx, 111 8th Avenue facility in New York City, ACTIV Financial reduces latency and speeds information by provisioning directly to customer locations, or to global customers colocated within ACTIV’s global facilities in Chicago, Hong Kong, London, New York, Singapore, Toronto and Tokyo.

Results:
• Decreased network hops from five to two results in a decrease in round-trip delays from 512 microseconds to 2.6 microseconds.
• Overall roundtrip delays via ACTIV’s network can be up to 50 percent less than solutions that travel between New York and New Jersey facilities.
• Shorter, direct routes and fewer points of failure deliver increased service reliability
• Direct 50 micron multimode fiber connections to Secure Financial Transaction Infrastructure (SFTI) Network eliminate additional delays associated with media conversion
• Network neutral access to a variety of different carriers
• Accommodates current colocation needs as well as future growth; ACTIV is accessible by all Telx customers colocated in the company’s facility at 111 8th Avenue as well any other Telx locations in the New York and New Jersey metro areas.
