Exchange Connectivity services
FFastFill's fully managed network
service provides clients with a wide range of exchange
connectivity services delivered to comprehensive, user-defined
Service Level Agreements (SLA).
The service has been engineered to provide exceptionally high availability,
performance and security and is capable of supporting a range of trading related
functions including front, middle and back office applications, as well as connectivity
to multiple trading exchanges and access networks. It is entirely application neutral
and highly scalable, making it suited to a wide range of institutions irrespective of their
size or chosen technology.

The service is monitored using FFastFill's comprehensive service management system,
which like the platform itself has no single points of failure. The service can be
configured at its edge to meet different customer-defined service levels as well as
providing for customer specified equipment to also be monitored by the system.
The core of the service is a fast IP network based on high speed, resilient router
technology employing hardware based switching. This core network has been
implemented to meet an availability of 99.999% and has been tuned to achieve very
fast unicast and multicast system recovery times
