(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Data center operator Switch and Data (www.switchanddata.com) announced on Tuesday that trading solutions provider Pragma Securities (www.pragmatrading.com) has chosen Switch and Data's New York Financial EcoCenter to house its solutions for automated trade execution and dark pool liquidity.
Pragma Securities provides tactical execution tools and hosted execution services for financial services customers.
The company's products include ONEPIPE 2.0, which unites over 40 dark pools, crossing networks, streaming liquidity venues and open market destinations into a single, integrated liquidity source, and TradeEngine, a hosted ASP application for buy side direct market access customers.
The company will store these products in Switch and Data's New York EcoCenter, where they will be one cross-connect away from the other electronic trading customers in the site.
"We chose Switch and Data's New York Financial EcoCenter after an extensive diligence process," says Peter Fraenkel, chief technology officer at Pragma Securities. "Its central North Bergen, New Jersey location, robust N+1 power and cooling infrastructure, and geographic proximity to multiple financial markets were key factors in our decision. Equally importantly to a growing company like Pragma, the site provides ample space and power availability to scale our operations."
Switch and Data's Financial EcoCenters offer sufficient infrastructure to meet the security, volume, and low-latency requirements of the electronic trading community.
The Financial EcoCenters aggregate an ecosystem of the pre/post trade service provider, buy side, and sell side communities into Switch and Data sites.
Switch and Data's North Bergen data center, which features full N+1 redundancy, is designed to provide high-density power and cooling to support the latest generation of servers, and provides 24-hour security and remote technical support.
The site is interconnected with the company's existing 60 Hudson St. and 111 Eighth Ave. data centers in Manhattan and to ultra low latency fiber providers with sub millisecond access to all regional execution venues.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
