DaFun is implementing a new network infrastructure to support its high frequency trading operations across multiple offices. The plan includes:
- Connecting the Toronto headquarters to offices in Chicago, New York, and Nassau using redundant 100Mbps MPLS connections from two providers for high availability.
- Providing 10Gbps connections between the Chicago and New York colocation facilities and market data providers, with BGP routing configured for redundancy.
- Using Cisco networking equipment like the Nexus 3548 switch for low latency across the critical areas of the network.
- Deploying HP servers at locations requiring low latency, and virtualizing servers at the Toronto data center for testing/development flexibility.
-
