National Diversity Assurance Initiative.
The financial services industry participates in many organizations such as BITS and the Financial Services Roudtable. A couple of extracts from some slides in a BITS presentation ----slide--- Since 9/11, the financial services industry and government have learned that the correct working assumptions are: ? Diversity cannot be ordered from two different carriers. ? Diversity must be engineered and has different meanings to different carriers. ------------ ----slide--- To comply with regulatory requirements and address today?s risks, financial institutions seek telecom providers that offer: ? No single point of failure ? Resilient infrastructure ? Engineered diversity and methods for maintaining engineered diversity over time ------------- Because there is confusion as to what "diversity" means, I use the term "separacy" to refer to the physical separation between two circuit paths regardless of whether the two paths are in a SONET ring or who owns the paths. People don't just want logical diversity, they want separacy of the two diverse circuits. --Michael Dillon
