(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Japan’s largest commodity futures exchange Tokyo Commodity Exchange (www.tocom.or.jp) announced that data center services provider Equinix (www.equinix.com) will offer high performance colocation and low-latency connectivity solutions through Equinix’s two network-neutral Tokyo International Business Exchange (or IBX) data centers.
According to Equinix’s announcement this week, TOCOM market participants will be able to colocate their electronic trading data infrastructure in close proximity to the financial community within Equinix’s TY1 and TY2 IBX centers, located in Heiwajima and Shinagawa respectively.
“We are delighted to welcome Equinix as one of TOCOM’s preferred colocation providers,” TOCOM president and chief executive officer Masaaki Nangaku said in a statement. “Equinix’s leading expertise with the global financial marketplace ideally complements our goal of providing world-class trading functionality to the international marketplace. Equinix’s global footprint, commitment to the Asia-Pacific region, and relentless pursuit of the best network providers for the financial industry, offers a new choice for our market participants who are seeking a reliable, low-latency and network rich environment with close proximity to strategic partners.”
Within both centers, TOCOM will have a direct connection to Equinix Financial eXchange service’s community of execution venues, buy and sell side firms, market data providers and technology utilities, located in Equinix’s high performance data center network, giving users access the widest choice of low-latency networks and direct data exchange with strategic partners and customers in close proximity.
The high quality, advanced design of the TY1 and TY2 centers offers financial customers a full range of scalable services, including colocation, interconnection, support and monitoring.
Last month, submarine transport cable provider Hibernia Atlantic (www.hiberniaatlantic.com) expanded its network into Equinix’s LD4 London Slough IBX data center, extending Hibernia Atlantic’s London area footprint.
