Tata Communications today launches a low latency network which
will seamlessly connect major financial capitals in Asia, the
United Kingdom and the United States.[1] The network is the first
low latency service that offers a pure multipoint Ethernet platform
to the financial services sector and other global industries,
accelerating global high frequency trading and other low latency
applications.
Designed for companies that require a secure, reliable and fast
low latency solution, the network will enable financial firms to
execute a high frequency trade between locations, such as London
and Hong Kong or New York and Singapore, in milliseconds, through a
single network and single supplier model.
John Hoffman, Head of Ethernet Product Management, Tata
Communications says, “In this hyper-connected world, connectivity
drives the global economy. We are at the centre of this information
age with our expansive global network reach and the world’s first
wholly owned cable ring around the world. The new low latency
network is the latest cutting-edge offering in our portfolio.
Global financial trading firms initially drove the need for this
solution as every millisecond of latency is critical for trading.
However, due to rising complexity and importance of specific
mission-critical applications, we are also seeing an uptake in
demand for similar levels of latency from a growing range of
sectors and businesses.”
The new network enables customers with low latency needs to work
with a single global supplier instead of multiple country-specific
point-to-point network providers. Customers can build multipoint
low latency networks that communicate from city-to-city rather than
exchange-to-exchange to serve applications for which latency is
crucial, regardless of the software or trading platform used.
Joel Stradling, Principal Analyst, Current Analysis, says, “Tata
Communications has been an aggressive early-mover in Ethernet and
currently offers the largest multipoint-to-multipoint service
network in the market. The combination of its strong global
footprint, a broad portfolio of Ethernet choices, operational
simplicity that helps to drive cost reductions and an unmatched PBB
technology rollout, makes the company’s new Low Latency offer
compelling to prospects.”
Tata Communications’ low latency multipoint service has been
designed to offer up to 35 per cent savings on circuit and
operations costs. Whereas low latency networks have traditionally
been offered over MPLS or relatively expensive layer 1
technologies, the software and platform agnostic Tata
Communications’ low latency network is the only multipoint Ethernet
service offering on a single network backed by 802.1ah, Provider
Backbone Bridging (PBB) technology. PBB is uniquely offered by Tata
Communications and, in addition to offering true Ethernet
multipoint technology with added security, it is also highly
scalable.
The low latency solution delivers ease of global collaboration
through multipoint technology and also can deliver effective
point-to-point solutions. Customers with low latency needs can take
advantage of an unparalleled range of topologies, bandwidth
options, and monitoring options to create the best low latency
network solution for their requirements. Customers now have the
flexibility to upgrade their bandwidth without causing a service
outage on their network.
Furthermore, service level agreements (SLAs) for the low latency
network include near-real-time latency guarantees. Latency is
measured every five minutes on a 24/7 basis, up to two decimals
after the millisecond range from point-of-presence ("PoP") to PoP.
All data is stored for trend analysis.
The Enterprise SLA option enables the customer to take advantage
of Tata Communications’ comprehensive performance monitoring and
troubleshooting capabilities. This option extends the standard SLA
guarantees with guarantees for Service Uptime, Packet Delivery
Ratio, Latency and Jitter from a customer’s premise-to-premise,
instead of from PoP-to-PoP, which is more traditional.
Tata Communications’ award-winning Metro Ethernet
Forum-certified Ethernet Services run on the low latency network.
Tata Communications was selected as the Best Ethernet Service
Provider in APAC in 2010 and 2011 and Tata Communications’
multipoint service was voted Best Business Service in APAC in 2011
by the Metro Ethernet Forum ("MEF").
The new network, together with Tata Communications' recent
announcements on its landmark completion of the world’s first
wholly-owned round-the-world fibre optic cable ring, global
technology association launch with Formula 1™ and public commitment
to drive cross-network video collaboration through the Global
Meeting Alliance™ network all complement and further strengthen
Tata Communications' vision to advance the reach and leadership of
its customers across the globe.
