CFN Services Announces FiberSource® Advisor for Trading Firms
Thursday, June 25th, 2009Herndon, VA (PRWeb) June 25, 2009, 2009 No longer can a trader meet their low latency requirements by just collocating in the same facility as the exchanges. The exchanges are spread out now, and so is the market data essential to successful execution of trading strategies. Traders need to find the optimal combination of space and network configuration that is central to the market data feeds and the exchanges they are trading on. That is why CFN Services is extending FiberSource Advisor® to include a Financial Services specific practice.
