Jersey Metro, Washington DC, Sao Paulo, London/London Metro,
Frankfurt and Tokyo. CFN is recognized as one of the only network

vendors by offering carrier neutrality, professional services,
fully managed services and the ability to design and implement

“We are proud to be part of Switch and Data’s new GeoReach

competitive and comprehensive solution to the most demanding high
frequency trading or latency-sensitive infrastructure.”
Switch and Data's GeoReach partnership program is a select group
of providers who have engineered their networks to meet the needs
of the high frequency trading community. GeoReach partners have
engineered optimum paths from Switch and Data’s EcoCenters to each
of the regional liquidity providers that satisfy the requirements
of the most latency-sensitive infrastructure. Firms can focus on
their core and add each new ATS or Exchange using a low cost,
minimal footprint, while still maintaining ultra low latency
communication across the markets.
“Adding CFN Services to our GeoReach partner program in our New
York and Toronto Financial EcoCenters enhances our ability to offer
customers ultra-low-latency connectivity to their desired
exchanges,” said John Panzica, Vice President of Switch and Data's
Financial Services Practice. “As more customers utilize trading
strategies across the entire market landscape, a selection of
optimized paths to the region’s liquidity providers becomes ever
more crucial. CFN’s continual optimization creates a compelling
story for firms seeking to stay ahead of the curve.”
GeoReach Partners are a critical element of Switch and Data’s
Financial EcoCenters, which provide mission-critical infrastructure
to meet the security, volume and low-latency requirements of the
electronic trading community. These EcoCenters aggregate an
ecosystem of the pre- and post-trade service provider, buy-side and
sell-side communities into Switch and Data sites located in the
