NYSE Euronext, the world's most diverse exchange group, and Juniper Networks today announced that they are working together to create a state-of-the-art, ultra-low latency core network for NYSE Euronext's new consolidated global data centers. Located in the greater New York and London metropolitan areas, NYSE Euronext's two new data centers will be the primary operational infrastructure supporting several billion daily transactions and quotes across diverse asset classes and geographies, and will be instrumental in enabling NYSE Euronext to consolidate the total number of its data centers from ten to four. Expected to be operational in 2010, the new facilities will provide much greater network scale and efficiency, and will utilize Juniper Networks Data Center Infrastructure Solutions and advanced data center fabric technology to support an unprecedented internal latency of 50 microseconds round-trip.

 

The two companies held a press and analyst event in New York City and shared this video: 

 

Juniper has developed truly unique and innovative technologies that empower organizations to deploy a very high capacity, low-latency network that meets the demands of the new data center.

There is a lot of buzz around super data centers, cloud computing, and virtualization. It’s hard to talk about these innovations without highlighting the critical role the network plays in delivering on the promise of each of these advancements in computing.

Today, IBM announced an update to its Dynamic Infrastructure of which Juniper is a critical participant delivering shared vision, technology innovation and a robust product portfolio. Jim Comfort, VP of Enterprise Initiatives at IBM talks about our partnership in this video:

IBM and Juniper also recently cooperated on a demo that vividly illustrated the ability to seamlessly extend private clouds. Hooking up sites in Silicon Valley and Shanghai, we showed how companies can leverage remote servers in a secure public cloud to prioritize critical applications. These capabilities are now being integrated into IBM’s nine world wide Cloud Labs for customer engagements. You can see a slideshow of the IBM and Juniper Cloud Day below:

IBM fundamentally understands the strategic value of the network. And as one of their key vendors, Juniper is committed to delivering joint networking solutions that meet and exceed the most demanding global standards.
