Ciena Corporation, the network specialist, today announced that the Korea Exchange (KRX), a premier capital market in Northeast Asia, has deployed Ciena’s optical service delivery platforms as part of its data center consolidation efforts. The solutions provide high-performance connectivity in KRX’s data center architecture to ensure the delivery of time-sensitive applications and reliable business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) services, while reducing overall network bandwidth consumption.

In the highly competitive financial services market, a few milliseconds delay in the execution of trades can cost an exchange millions in lost transactions. With the significant growth in the volume of electronic trading and the bandwidth requirements of market-data feeds expanding at unprecedented rates, trading volume and market volatility are challenging the capabilities of legacy networks. The selection by KRX highlights Ciena’s ability to provide reliable, high-performance bandwidth solutions that optimize wide area networks (WANs) to ensure application performance without incurring the high cost of purchasing additional bandwidth.

“We specialize in building high-performance architectures that are designed to reliably deliver mission-critical transactions while meeting the stringent requirements of BC/DR applications,” said Phil Moser, Ciena’s vice president and general manager, Asia Pacific. “Our solutions optimize KRX’s network with cost-efficient features like compression and bandwidth utilization and offer greater network visibility, creating a secure infrastructure with unmatched performance and scalability to support their business objectives.”

Ciena’s optical service delivery solutions use compression and dynamic bandwidth assignment to allow a variety of applications, such as Storage Area Networking (SAN), Disk Mirroring, Remote Backup, Mainframe, LAN, Clustering, and Network Attached Storage (NAS) to share a single WAN connection, simplifying network design and dramatically increasing bandwidth efficiency. In addition, Ciena’s ON-Center Network and Service Management Suite enables KRX to provision new connections easily and rapidly, modify and review service parameters, view real-time performance and health metrics graphs, track historical usage of MAN/WAN bandwidth, and perform other important operational tasks via a simple point-and-click interface.

Ciena serves numerous institutions in the global financial services industry with solutions that enable rapid, predictable provisioning and high performance to reduce risk and ensure applications and transactions are handled with the lowest latency possible, transforming networks to deliver high-value services so that companies can respond quickly to emerging market demands and evolving business needs.
