Are we expecting tomorrow's markets to run on yesterday's infrastructure?

24/7 trading, fragmented liquidity, AI and increasing automation place new and growing demands on financial market infrastructure. Yet much of this infrastructure has evolved over decades, with new systems, networks and providers added as trading requirements evolved.

Zayo Europe, Equinix, Ciena, Iress and Keysight Technologies examined the pressures and challenges across the trading infrastructure ecosystem, and what firms may need to rethink.

What the panel covered:

Changing market demands: what increasingly automated, fragmented and continuous markets mean for underlying infrastructure.
Risks beneath the surface: how well firms understand the dependencies and vulnerabilities across their trading environments.
Performance under pressure: what it takes to deliver reliable, predictable performance when markets, networks and systems are under strain.
Rethinking infrastructure priorities: which parts of today’s infrastructure need closer scrutiny, and where firms should focus investment.
