Hibernia Atlantic guarantees 100% availability between financial markets

Transatlantic bandwidth supplier Hibernia Atlantic says it will offer a 100% uptime service-level agreement (SLA) via its Hibernia Secure program on low-latency lit capacity between U.S. and European financial cities. The Hibernia Secure service provides dedicated fiber-optic network protection across Hibernia’s Global Financial Network (GFN) to offer an additional layer of protection for financial firms’ communications.

Hibernia Secure also offers 5-day installations, from signature to service, or customers receive a month of free service. The secure service aims to meet the demands of financial customers who want dedicated network protection over low-latency failover routes between Chicago, Toronto, New York Metro, London, and Frankfurt.

To sweeten the deal, Hibernia Atlantic also will offer for a limited time to Hibernia Secure customers 1 month of free service with a 12-month contract and 2 months of free service on a 24-month term contract.

“GFN’s customers now have, with one single connection, access to multiple low latency network routes between key financial cities such as New York and Chicago and the peace of mind that comes with our improved SLA,” states Eric Gutshall, executive vice president of sales & marketing for Hibernia Atlantic. “This in turn strengthens GFN’s speed and delivery to other highly sought-after financial cities, and provides a true competitive advantage for financial firms and high frequency traders globally.”
