(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — European data center operator Interxion (www.interxion.com) announced last week it has signed an agreement with trading network 7ticks (www.7ticks.com) to provide equipment housing and connectivity in the Interxion London City data center.
The announcement follows a deal 7ticks signed in January, where Equinix is providing a direct, network-neutral connection within the Equinix Frankfurt-North International Business Exchange data center between its US based network and the Eurex proximity location in Frankfurt, Germany.
The Chicago-headquartered 7ticks provides managed colocation services for Chicago’s electronically traded products and exchanges.
These services includes electronic trading infrastructure design, procurement, installation and hosting services.
7ticks will use Interxion’s infrastructure and fast-growing capital markets and exchanges community to facilitate ultra-low latency connectivity and networking services for its financial services customers.
The company has built proximity POP for many exchanges, and whenever possible, colocates in the same building as the exchange presence, running direct cross-connects into the 7ticks network infrastructure.
Interxion has 24 carrier-neutral data centers, which provide a highly secure physical location with advanced infrastructure for mission-critical applications.
The facilities offer high-density power configurations from 5 to 30 kW, and 24-hour secure access to equipment.
“We aim to provide the lowest latency connections in the industry, and our partnership with Interxion is an important factor in achieving these goals,” says 7ticks Scott Caudell, CTO and managing partner. “Interxion’s London facility provides world-class infrastructure, is located inside the city, and already contains a significant number of capital markets participants. In such a dynamic environment, our customers can improve performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.”
