(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Telecommunications provider BT (www.btplc.com) announced on Monday it will be expanding its data center, BT Radianz Proximity Solution hosting services, in Singapore.
The data center is managed and operated by StarHub, BT’s telecom partner for access services in Singapore. The new facility doubles both its floor space and available power.
The expanded BT facility increases the hosting capacity to accommodate more electronic trading applications for the financial sector, and provides the scalability to meet any increasing demands.
It also accommodates the specialized infrastructure to connect with existing and anticipated Alternative Execution venues in Singapore.
The BT Radianz Proximity Solution combines fully-managed hosting facilities with low-latency connectivity, providing high-speed access to exchanges and other trading venues.
The data center is part of BT Radianz shared market infrastructure, which supports the world largest, secure networked financial services community and interlinks over 400 application service providers with over 14,000 global customer locations.
“Increasingly, market participants – be they banks, brokers, investment managers, or market data providers – need to be at the forefront of network technology, but recognize that BT is already there and can deliver the leading-edge solutions that they need,” says Andy Nicholson, vice president global banking and financial markets at BT. “The BT Radianz Proximity Solution enables BT to offer new services to meet the needs of a market that is aggressively pursuing low-latency trading across multiple trading venues, both domestically and internationally.”
