In 2010, financial markets participants will continue to expand their trading activities as liquidity increasingly becomes fragmented, seeking alpha in new markets, best execution in dark pools, arbitrage opportunities across the order book and by implementing high frequency and complex, multi-leg, cross asset class strategies.

The successful trading operations will leverage an infrastructure that leverages high-speed long haul and metro communications along with optimized use of proximity and co-location sites to access multiple, geographically dispersed execution venues with the lowest latency.

Participants are looking to implement flexible networking architectures to keep pace with market developments, while at the same time they need to retain management control of this strategic capability in order to continually optimize their proprietary trading and customer brokerage businesses.

Join us for a webinar where you will hear from, and have a chance to ask questions of, a panel of industry experts who will address the issues of implementing an optimized trading architecture.
