(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Data center operator Equinix (www.equinix.com) announced on Tuesday that multibank foreign electronic platform FXall (www.fxall.com) will offer connectivity to its foreign exchange platform within the Equinix NY4 International Business Exchange data center.
The announcement follows Lexent Metro Connect's connection of two New Jersey Equinix International Business Exchange data centers and carrier hotels in Manhattan.
The service will be available to the community of Equinix Financial eXchange financial trading companies currently operating within the New Jersey campus, including buyside and sellside firms which trade multiple asset classes.
FXall will also be able to directly reach the group of networks and other strategic partners operating within Equinix's Financial eXchange to service FXall customers with optimized performance.
The company offers spot, swap, forward and NDF products for over 500 currency pairs in a single platform.
More than 800 global institutions use FXall's trading and straight through processing solutions to support various trading strategies in all market conditions.
FXall will offer its services to customers of Equinix Financial eXchange. This community of capital market participants includes execution venues, buy and sell side firms, market data providers, technology providers and financial networks, that locate operations within Equinix data centers in order to benefit from a high-performance, low latency connectivity infrastructure.
At Equinix, these companies can directly exchange data within the same physical location with strategic partners, customers and vendors, which lets them enhance their trading decisions and risk avoidance operations, as well as access a range of high-performance network connectivity and data center services.
By offering the FXall platform in the Equinix Financial eXchange ecosystem, companies will also be able to use the platform to establish direct relationships with key networks and other strategic partners in order to enhance the speed and reliability of their services.
"Equinix's financial community has identified FXall as a very desirable trading venue, and we are happy to help fulfill their performance needs," says John Knuff, director of business development at Equinix. "Beyond benefitting our current financial community customers, FXall's presence will hopefully attract new customers to our NY4 center and serve as a spring board for future FXall growth initiatives."

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.
