To address this need, NYSE Technologies drew upon its unique understanding of connectivity in the financial industry, combined with careful study of optimal technology and route diversity.

The result is our Secure Financial Transaction Infrastructure® internet protocol (SFTI® IP), the new standard for reliability and resiliency in trading infrastructure. Not only is this purpose-built private network furnishing traders, brokers and market operators with a vastly improved single point of connectivity for low-latency trading across multiple asset classes in more markets around the world, but it is simultaneously helping to strengthen the integrity of capital markets themselves.
