NYSE Ultra Low Latency Network First 100Gbps Network “Powering our new data centers and network with Ciena technology will help produce a clear competitive advantage for NYSE Euronext and our customers in terms of executing trades and delivering mission critical information as well as advancing leading edge applications such as state-of-the-art co-location facilities.” Stanley Young, CEO of NYSE Technologies and Co- Global CIO of NYSE Euronext
Multi-Application Clouds Network Architecture Current implementations are network centric, static and disjointed But… Virtual Machine concept: server and storage virtualization across hardware boundaries Server virtualization needs a more dynamic and flexible network New applications for dynamically moving workload to another data center (e.g. VMotion, Site Recovery Manager) require more deterministic, scalable, on-demand performance and management – i.e a flatter Layer 1/2 network Headquarter SONET/SDH e.g. 3000km Ext. cloud Data Center OTN / WDM e.g. 200km Carrier Ethernet; IP/MPLS e.g. 750km Data Center Int. cloud Branch Office
