The International Securities Exchange (ISE) is now offering a PremiumAccess connection in its primary data center. Premium Access subscribers will connect to ISE over Juniper Networks’ high performance, ultra-low latency 10 gigabit Ethernet switches. The introduction of the Juniper switches along with new network cards and a custom load balancing scheme will enable member firms with a direct connection to ISE to reduce their roundtrip network latency by up to 150 microseconds, or approximately 90 percent.
Robert Cornish, ISE’s Technology Strategy and Infrastructure Officer, said, “As part of our data center and connectivity strategy, we are constantly evaluating ways to use innovative technologies and designs to lower latency and maximize performance. Premium Access offers member firms the ability to reduce their latency by accessing the exchange gateways and market data feeds through our ultra-low latency infrastructure.”
