(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — European networking provider euNetworks Group (www.eunetworks.com) announced on Thursday it is offering its new euTrade service to customers in Equinix’s (www.equinix.com) Amsterdam (AM1), Frankfurt (FR2), London (LD4) and Paris (PA2) International Business Exchange data centers.
According to the press release, euTrade service “offers specialist ultra-low latency, high availability connectivity to Europe’s financial community.”
This latest agreement will provide Equinix customers with an additional choice of best-of-breed networks.
Located in Europe’s major financial markets, Equinix’s four data centers will offer the euTrade service and give Equinix customers access to a wide selection of specialist low latency networking services, as well as a full range of colocation, support and monitoring services.
“Increasing trading volumes, the global nature of banking and trading organisations plus the compliance demands set out by MiFID all make it absolutely imperative that financial services firms have access to the very best available connectivity services,” says Petrina Steele, vice president of business development at Equinix. “euNetworks’ new offering is an important addition to our IBX data centers and its ultra-low latency, high availability network services will undoubtedly be attractive to our expanding list of European financial customers.”
euTrade provides guaranteed high performance, all-optical connectivity for financial firms, and a contractual ultra-low latency guarantee between London and Frankfurt, which is made possible by euNetworks-owned, all-optical network where it can assure end-to-end performance.
The all-optical network is designed for mission-critical trading applications, and is now available in all key European trading locations.
euTrade, which can be provisioned within days, was developed to deliver high performance Ethernet connectivity specifically for mission critical next generation trading.
euNetworks delivers on-demand connectivity between stock exchanges, alternative trading systems/venues and clearing houses in 15 metropolitan networks throughout Europe.
In April, euNetworks named Brady Rafuse to CEO designate while company founder and CEO Noel Meaney focuses on his role as executive chairman.
