Sidera Networks, a provider of fiber optic-based network
solutions, announced CME Group, a derivatives marketplace, will leverage
Sidera’s high-capacity, high-availability network for low-latency connectivity
from its data center in Aurora to its downtown Chicago facility to support its
Bulk Transport service.
Sidera’s expert team worked with CME Group to design a
direct, low-latency route between Chicago to Aurora to provide a direct
connection to this new facility.
This infrastructure will support CME Group’s Bulk
Transport service with a point-to-point Ethernet service configured over its
private optical network, providing a cost effective, low-latency connectivity
option.
Through Sidera’s innovative Reconfigurable Optical
Add-Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) solution, CME Group will gain a more efficient
network to deliver services to its member firms quickly and efficiently.
“CME Group’s facility is an example of a larger
trend within the financial services industry, where exchanges are expanding
data centers and services offered at these facilities to support low-latency
trading,” said Mike Sicoli, CEO, Sidera Networks.
“We are proud to be able to design customized routes
and leverage the most innovative technology solutions to deliver high-quality
connectivity to these data centers, resulting in superior low-latency trading
to customers using our network,” added Sicoli.
