Zero latency is the optimal trading speed that all firms hope to achieve at some point. But until that can become a reality, there is a race to keep reducing latency from all aspects of the trading process. From the server to the messaging to the sending and receiving of data, each piece must be optimized to reach the goal of zero latency. There are many avenues companies are looking at to reduce variables and ....

Cloud computing is a compelling way to deliver web-based and non-web-based applications that better utilize the physical infrastructure, while lowering costs by moving from silos of expensive customized servers to racks of cost-effective ones. Due to the elastic nature of clouds, a particular application may be delivered from one physical location at a given moment but from a different, potentially far-away location in the same cloud at a later moment. Performance and scaling of cloud ....
Architecting Low Latency Cloud Networks
[ Source: Arista Networks ]
June 2009-
As data centers transition to next generation virtualized & elastic cloud architectures, high performance and resilient cloud networking has become a requirement for delivering always-on, always-available applications.
Over the last decade response time requirements have been rigorously tightened, toward fractions of a second, and both network and compute latencies need to be reduced in parallel. An architectural approach is needed so that response times are consistently and measurably enhanced across a wide set of ....

June 2008-
Media converters play an important role in today's multiprotocol, mixed-media LANs. For example, LAN administrators can deploy media converters to integrate fiber-optic cabling and active equipment into existing copper-based, structured cabling systems while achieving significant cost savings.
Media converters are also becoming a critical piece of data networks outside the LAN, as electrical-to-optical conversion technology is enabling service providers to speed up deployment and minimize the cost of provisioning fiber to the subscriber, ....
Winning in the Age of Convergence: Product Framework for Communication Service Providers
[ Source: Infosys Technologies ]
May 2007-
Convergence is changing the way communication service providers operate. Falling public-switched telephone network revenue and the convergence of voice, data, and mobility are forcing CSPs to formulate convergence-led growth strategies. Companies must have the process and IT flexibility to cut across silos of products and services. This article focuses on the complex product environment structure across CSPs and proposes a product framework.
Network Exchanges Reporter

April 2008-
Network Exchanges Reporter software is storing the history of all network exchanges between all computers on several network nodes. As the software knows everything that has happened in the past, it is able to alert the administrator in case of bandwidth abuse of any computers or groups of computers. Also, as for all connections, the response time is registered for each of the 2 speakers, then the administrator can create a monitoring task ....
