Hibernia Atlantic improves security for GFN

Hibernia Atlantic, the only diverse transatlantic high bandwidth connectivity provider, announced the launch of Hibernia Secure for its Global Financial Network (GFN), offering the financial community dedicated network protection across its low latency failover routes, with multiple routes for each city pair. 

Dedicated to connecting the financial industry, including banks, financial exchanges and trading firms, Hibernia’s GFN now provides a resilient, reliable, dedicated platform,  Hibernia Secure, to ensure safer and faster trading.

With service available from 10 Mbps to 1 Gpbs, Hibernia Secure offers a single interface with multiple route choices, providing 100 percent guaranteed uptime among critical trading routes.

Depending on locations, this includes options for several failover routes that avoid common, congested corridors, such as the waterways around New York and London, in case of regional failure. 

Providing an extra layer of diversity and security, Hibernia Secure will re-route GFN traffic to the client’s secondary route choice in the unlikely event of signal loss. Service will then be re-routed back to the primary or faster route as soon as that route becomes available. 

Hibernia Secure also provides a safe-time window, from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. (EST), for network maintenance, thereby insuring optimal network performance during major trading hours in the United States and European Union regions. This includes third-party vendors to ensure end-to-end compliance. 

“We are committed to delivering innovative solutions to the financial community,” said Matt Johnson, Vice President of Product and Strategy of Hibernia Atlantic. “We created ‘Hibernia Secure’ in direct response to financial firms’ stringent network requirements for fast and secure connectivity for their financial transactions and trades.” 

Clients can choose an expected latency on key financial routes from the New York metro area to Chicago can access 14.6 ms for the primary route, 17.08 ms for the secondary route, and 27.5 ms for the third route.  

Additionally, firms sending traffic from London to Frankfurt at 8.75 ms for the primary route, 9.22 ms for the secondary route and 9.88 ms for the third route. 

Only a few of the Hibernia Secure Routes are available presently. To see the complete ‘Hibernia Secure’ network map, click here.
