NYSE Euronext and Juniper Networks are working together to design a core network for NYSE Euronext’s new consolidated global data centers. Euronext’s two new data centers, expected to be operational from 2010, will be the primary operational infrastructure supporting several billion daily transactions and quotes, across diverse asset classes and geographies.

They would be instrumental in NYSE Euronext’s effort to consolidate the total number of its global data centers from ten to four.

Kevin Johnson, CEO of Juniper Networks, said: “The NYSE Euronext technology vision is in alignment with Juniper’s next generation data center roadmap, which will lead to the creation of a single data center fabric that will deliver a quantum advance in scale, performance and simplicity, while lowering energy consumption and reducing overall operating costs.”

NYSE Euronext (NYX) is a diverse exchange group, offering financial products and services in Europe and the US, that include cash equities, futures, options, exchange-traded products, bonds, market data, and commercial technology solutions.

Sunnyvale, California-based Juniper Networks offers network infrastructure that creates an environment for the deployment of services and applications over a single network.
