Tokyo Stock Exchange has chosen the Juniper Networks MX480 3D Universal Edge Router for an extensive upgrade of 'arrownet v2', the network platform responsible for its proprietary trading system 'arrowhead'.
As one of the world's top stock exchanges and the largest in Asia, building and maintaining a cutting-edge network featuring world-class reliability and performance has always been key for TSE. As technology evolves alongside rapidly changing customer needs, TSE required an upgraded, innovative network infrastructure with the ability to integrate across all financial trading in Japan, which Juniper is able to provide.
In addition to having connectivity to the Tokyo Financial Exchange (TFX), the Japan Securities Depository Center (JASDEC) and the Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM), TSE placed priority on increasing network speed, reliability and scalability, while also embedding security throughout the network, a requirement for powering Japan's advanced economic infrastructure.

Tomohiro Furuya, Country Manager of Japan, Juniper Networks
We are excited to continue our long-term track record of providing networking infrastructure excellence alongside Tokyo Stock Exchange as we help upgrade and future-proof 'arrownet v2'. Tokyo Stock Exchange is a vital player in the world's financial services industry and economy, and we are delighted to have been selected once more as a trusted partner in their on-going success.
