nxLink

nxLink is a next-generation network solution providing ultra-low latency and high reliability for trading and other high-performance applications.

Description

nxLink is a suite of next-generation network products designed to build end-to-end, low-latency trading network infrastructure. It leverages FPGA technology to enhance network performance by addressing latency, link management, and bandwidth optimization challenges. nxLink offers wire-speed performance with nanosecond-scale latency, making it suitable for high-frequency trading and other demanding applications. The solution is comprised of "Share" and "Secure" components, each offering features to optimize bandwidth allocation, ensure network reliability, and minimize latency. It caters to various sectors including telecommunication operators, wireless network service providers, investment banks, and market data providers seeking to improve infrastructure stability and performance.

Features

nxLink combines the "Share" and "Secure" components to provide comprehensive network optimization. "Share" focuses on bandwidth allocation and management, offering features like Ethernet fragmentation/reassembly, bandwidth policing, and aggregation of multiple radio links. "Secure" focuses on link redundancy and fiber arbitration, ensuring high availability and zero packet loss even with unreliable wireless connections. Both components utilize FPGA technology to achieve ultra-low latency, typically in the nanosecond range. They offer flexible hardware options and support various radio interfaces (e.g., microwave, millimeter wave).

Benefits

Reduced latency and improved bandwidth efficiency lead to enhanced trading speeds and reduced operational costs. Increased network reliability and resilience minimize service outages and data loss. The flexible hardware options and add-ons accommodate specific network needs, while the advanced features such as Ethernet fragmentation and reassembly improve overall network performance. Integration with other Enyx products streamlines the entire infrastructure management. The platform is designed to accommodate the needs of various user types, providing a scalable solution that can be tailored to various levels of complexity and capacity.
