Solution of Industrial Switches in Financial Industry

The financial market data is changing rapidly, and the profit opportunities are often fleeting, which puts forward high requirements for the processing speed of the trading system. How to obtain market information faster and more accurately, and accurately grasp trading opportunities and points have become the target pursued by financial institutions. Building an ultra-low latency network trading environment has become the main battlefield of the "arms race" for major securities companies, futures companies and other companies. The application demand for ultra-low latency Industrial Switch products is increasingly strong.

In addition to speed, cost and scalability are also important factors for the increasingly strong application demand of industrial switch products. The data processed through the trading network is growing exponentially, which makes cost-effective network scalability a key factor for success. When hundreds or even thousands of ethernet switches, routers, and servers are added to the data center, subtle differences in energy consumption and cooling efficiency may quickly become the major expense of the data center. The growing server processing capacity and the trend of deploying more devices in smaller spaces have increased the energy consumption of the data center, and the power supply and cooling costs of the data center even exceed the equipment itself.

Although the challenges faced by managing modern financial networks are enormous, they can still be overcome. All the challenges can be solved with new data center network connectivity, which is simple, scalable, and cost-effective, as well as providing ultra-high bandwidth and ultra-low latency. Based on the above requirements, with the industrial switches as the medium, we have proposed the following financial industry solutions:

1. Core business network adopts tree structure, and dual core access ensures backup redundancy. The server cluster adopts VRRP redundancy technology to ensure high availability of core services. Each sub branch has access to multiple lines and uses MSTP+MPLS technology as the link hot standby.

2. The office network adopts the design concept of 10G multi core, 10G backbone, and 10G to desktop. Core router and layer 3 switch with high throughput and wire speed forwarding. Backbone equipment has dual cores and dual links, or after the cores are looped, they are fault tolerant backups for each other, and key module redundancy design (dual power redundancy, etc.) is adopted in the core switch. Dual link connection is adopted between the core and the aggregation. Once the active link of data transmission fails, it can automatically switch to another link to ensure the normal forwarding of data. In this way, in the whole network architecture, the core layer dual link switching system does not have a single point of failure, and it is a fault-tolerant scheme with complete redundancy for high-level switching. In this way, even if one of the links is broken or a backbone industrial switch fails, backup recovery data transmission can be enabled in a very short time, thus ensuring the high reliability and stability of the network system.

3. In terms of marketing network, it supports authentication methods such as WEB, mobile phone, QQ, microblog and WeChat authentication, and customers can easily customize the web pages logged in by users and the advertising information pushed after authentication; Combined with the TG cloud, for customers with mobile phone authentication, they can collect mobile phone numbers, select high-quality customers through time period and frequency of use, and carry out mobile marketing; For WeChat authenticated online customers, they can flexibly customize the advertisements that need to be pushed, as well as automatic human-computer interaction;
