Infinera Low Latency Solution Speeds Optical Transport

Marketwired
Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) unveiled today a set of low latency
solutions for carriers and enterprises to enable customers to
deploy networks that reduce latency to extremely low levels to
support the needs of business and financial applications where
nanoseconds count.
The Infinera low-latency solution includes a set of technologies
and products that is designed to help service providers and
enterprises alike with their end-to-end optical transport network
requirements in both Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) and Wide Area
Network (WAN) environments. The Infinera toolkit builds on the
features of Infinera's unique photonic integrated circuits (PICs),
adding features like innovative dispersion compensation technology,
native wavelengths, and network design strategies to optimize the
network for latency. The use of Infinera's PICs and GMPLS-powered
network operating system is designed to deliver greater reliability
and resiliency than in traditional optical networks based on
discrete components.
Colt Technology Services owns and operates an exceptional
European network connecting customer sites in 34 cities and 19 data
centers in 13 countries. Colt Technology Services have introduced a
range of services to support their Colt Fastnet Ultra proposition
aimed at low latency customers, including transport over their
state of the art Infinera low-latency network. Colt is investing to
expand and increment their Infinera low-latency network during the
next quarter. "Today, every electronic financial transaction is a
race and there are no silver medals -- the winner takes all in just
a few milliseconds. Technology is enabling the new trading
opportunities and strategies and is now emerging as a true
differentiator for organizations, hence our introduction of the
Colt Fastnet Ultra family of services," said Terry Quigley, head of
Industry Practices in Colt Technology Services' Major Enterprise
Division. "With our Infinera network, Colt is ideally positioned to
support global financial institutions in winning the liquidity
race. We have invested in the technology to ensure latency is
reliable and optimized for our customers and we have the service
level agreements (SLAs) to support our offerings. We are also
working closely with customers to determine the best location or
'center of gravity' for their trading systems, which will enable
them to optimize their connections to the various different
exchanges and MTFs."
Native Wavelengths for Speed Infinera has
optimized its entire product family of long-haul and metro systems
for low-latency applications. With conventional DWDM technology, a
higher wavelength speed may not necessarily translate into lower
latency. Optical functions, electrical processing, and other
factors can introduce latency at any bit rate. Infinera's
low-latency solutions take into consideration several contributing
factors towards end-to-end latency, and are engineered to
sub-microsecond granularity to optimize the total solution for
delivering information across the optical network in as little time
as possible.
"When seeking to eliminate microseconds or nanoseconds of
latency from an optical transport network, a careful
re-architecting of the network design is required to minimize the
end-to-end contribution from both optics and electronics," said
Chris Liou, Infinera Vice-President, Network Strategy. "Infinera
has developed low-latency solutions that rely on the optimal mix of
our range of products and technologies to deliver solutions that
will give our customers a speed advantage in the marketplace."
Infinera's digital architecture is well-known for enabling rapid
deployment, fast provisioning, and simple and quick operations.
Infinera's GMPLS-powered network operating system ensures quick and
easy route planning and provisioning. Infinera's low-latency
solutions deliver all the benefits of Infinera's digital operations
including outstanding reliability.
On April 26th, Infinera and Colt are coming together to speak at
an industry conference in New York City, titled UItra High
Performance Technologies for the Financial Markets. Infinera's
Chris Liou and Colt's Nicolas de Vanssay will speak on the
technologies and services that deliver low-latency networks.
Infinera representatives will be on hand to provide an explanation
of the features and capabilities of Infinera's end-to-end solution
at Booth #114. Press and analysts are invited to arrange a meeting
by contacting the Infinera representatives below.
