Colocation and proximity services
Market participants are competing to deploy architectures that can handle the growth in
algorithmic trading strategies and the explosion in data volumes. Algorithmic
trading is about shaving milliseconds from transactions and the industry trend towards
low latency has seen firms moving their trading applications physically close to their
chosen trading venue.
Colocate in the heart of the markets to drastically reduce latency
AlgoSpan’s colocation and proximity services enable you to physically place your
systems in the exchange data centre, or in close proximity where colocation space is not
available. With a direct connection to exchange trading and information systems, you
can eliminate distance related delays and achieve super fast access.

delivering stability, resilience, security and scalability.
