Latency reduction is no longer confined to the data center; it now has everything to do with the miles of conduit carrying fiber optic cables. Dedicated fiber optic lines and DWDM implementations are critical for financial services-focused connectivity firms and optical networking equipment providers. The solution a firm chooses forms the foundation for its entire trading infrastructure. Trading will continue to grow globally-only those with a deep understanding of how their data moves around the world will remain competitive.
