Verizon Financial Network Delivers Low Latency for CME Group

The Verizon Financial Network is delivering low latency connection directly to New York metro financial markets from CME Group's data center in Aurora, Illinois. The CME Group Aurora data center is home to the CME Co-Location Services offering, which caters to more than 100 direct customers.

The ultra-low-latency round-trip route bypasses traditional area "data hotels."  Specifically, the new Aurora-to-Carteret, N.J., route offers very high speed transmissions with ultra-low latency as low as 14.997 milliseconds round-trip.  Verizon is using Ciena's 6500 Packet-Optical Platform.
