MANAGED SERVICE PROVIDER – CAPACITY UTILIZATION

A key factor in managing financial networks today is the importance of capacity. This can be an infrastructure-wide management issue and may be overlooked given the amount of time and effort usually required to analyze, manage and adapt to these events.

This issue can be even more critical when a trading firm is building a system that requires high-speed processing of market data from several market centers that are physically remote from each other.

High-velocity trading firms need to receive every iota of market data and as they continue expanding globally, they need a managed service provider with the resources to maintain long- term relationships with multiple co-location facilities around the world and build out international long-haul circuits to connect these facilities into one high-speed network.
