Immediate, Scalable, Seamless Market Access

TTNET allows you to quickly deploy X_TRADER® and X_TRADER® Pro worldwide using Internet and private lines. The seamless architecture is fully redundant and highly scalable up to hundreds of servers, allowing you to roll out installations in customer-driven phases and quickly add new traders in various locations as your needs dictate. By going through TT’s existing network, you avoid lengthy, disruptive and expensive implementations and take advantage of shared exchange circuits, saving you the considerable cost of ordering your own exchange lines. And since these lines are already in place, there is no waiting for exchange line installation.

Maximum Speed, Unparalleled Redundancy and Disaster Recovery

TTNET™ delivers maximum uptime through fast, highly resilient and fully redundant connections to the world’s top futures exchanges through shared facilities in North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Built on a multi-gigabit fiber optic backbone, TTNET provides both datacenter failover and intrasite redundancy. TTNET utilizes a fully redundant cross connect architecture that leverages high capacity DWDM circuits in order to provide higher availability and performance. And hosting at a TTNET collocation center provides your algorithmic orders exceptionally fast access to the exchanges’ electronic matching engines.

TT’s network is facilitated by TTNET’s extensive global presence and state-of-the-art network operation centers (NOCs). Leading-edge monitoring techniques ensure early detection and prevention of outages. Sizable investments have been made in location and connectivity diversity to provide the most stable, available and disaster-resistant exchange connections possible.
