(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Liquid exchange group NYSE Euronext (www.nyse.com) announced on Wednesday that it has opened its European liquidity data center in London, UK.
This is NYSE Euronext’s third facility. The company also maintains data centers in Paris and New York, as well as a 400,000 square foot data center in New Jersey that is currently being constructed.
The first phase of customers installing equipment is in preparation for the upcoming migration of all NYSE European matching engines in the fourth quarter of this year.
The data center will house all of NYSE Euronext’s European markets as well as offer a colocation service for trading firms.
With its efficient and advanced design, the new facility is one of the most resilient, high-capacity and low-latency data centers in the world, says NYSE Euronet.
“We are very excited to welcome the first wave of customers into our new data centre. The facility has been designed from the ground up to facilitate the free flow of global liquidity and enhance our customers’ access to markets,” says Dominique Cerutti, president and deputy CEO, NYSE Euronext. “As both an innovative technology provider and a global exchange operator, NYSE Euronext is a leader in connecting markets with market participants and a diverse issuer base to create a truly global trading community.”
More than 40 high-frequency trading firms are scheduled for installation and testing at the initial colocation phase.
This will occur right before the migration of the main matching engines for the NYSE Euronext, NYSE Liffe, NYSE Arca Europe and Smartpool markets, which is set to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2010.
Additionally, NYSE Technologies will host an exclusive webinar called “Next Generation Exchange Colocation And The New European Liquidity Centre” on May 25 for organizations interested in colocating at the data center.
The second phase will begin this summer, with scheduled installations to happen in November.
