Low-latency network engineering in Chicago, New Jersey and New York.
We design, build and run the networks proprietary trading firms and market makers trade on, on a monthly engineering retainer. One team owns the work from the cross-connect to the config, so there's no hand-off between vendors when something breaks.
What we do
- Exchange and counterparty onboarding
- Circuits, cross-connects, routing and firewall policy for a new exchange, venue or counterparty, tested end to end before go-live.
- Multicast market data
- Feed distribution across A and B sides, with group, source and rendezvous-point design checked against what's already on the network.
- Firewall lifecycle
- Palo Alto and Fortinet policy changes, upgrades, VPN users and audits, each change planned and verified on the device.
- Switch upgrades and build-outs
- Software upgrades, switch consolidation and new colocation cabinets, from design and procurement to a production-ready handover.
- Audits with recommended actions
- Network and datacenter audits that end in a prioritised list of fixes, not a report that sits in a drawer.
- Incident and problem management
- Diagnosis across every device in the path, then a root-cause report and the change that stops it happening again.
- Moves, adds, changes and decommissions
- Day-to-day changes handled as change requests, with a rollback plan written before anything is touched.
- Monitoring and premarket checkouts
- Automated checks of switches, feeds and sessions before the open, with a report to your team. How the automation works
Every change is planned from live state and approved by an engineer.
Change plans are drafted from the configuration that's actually running on your devices, not from a diagram that may be out of date. The plan names the exact commands, how we verify them and how we roll them back.
Automation can draft the plan. Nothing changes on a client device until an engineer approves it. Read how AI-assisted operations work.
How engagements start
Most start small: ad-hoc datacenter work, or an audit of the network or the cage. From there, network engineering runs on a monthly retainer, and hands-on work in the datacenter is dispatched under our smart-hands SLA.
