With its IXFX™ (IXEurope Financial Exchange) solution IXEurope can provide exchanges and other trading venues with a highly resilient and convenient co-location platform that enables ultra low latency performance and also provides an ideal platform for banks, financial trading companies and financial exchanges to interconnect with each other. With 14 state-of-the-art IXDatacentre facilities in key European financial centres, IXEurope provides secure co-location services to over 450 enterprise customers.
“In a market where both buy-side and sell-side firms depend on execution speed, milliseconds can make the difference between success and failure - particularly with the introduction of the EU's new MiFID legislation which introduces a new requirement for best execution trading for trading firms and execution venues,” commented Guy Willner, CEO at IXEurope. “This development, coupled with the growth in algorithmic trading and alternative trading strategies means there's a growing requirement for ultra-low latency proximity services, and we look forward to demonstrating our IXFX™ proximity solution for financial organisations at the upcoming FIA conferences in London and New York.”
IXEurope will exhibit and sponsor the FIA OpTech 2007 on the 14 June in New York, presented by FIA Futures Services Division, FIA Chicago and the FIA Information Technology Divisions. The event serves more than 250 operations and information technology professionals from FCMs, brokerage firms, banks, exchanges, money management firms and technology vendors.
The company will also be sponsoring the International Derivatives Conference which will take place in London on 20 - 21 June and is organised by the FIA and Futures and Options Association (FOA), as well as at International Derivatives Week (18 - 22 June), which provides a major showcase for the derivatives industry in the United Kingdom as well as attracting participants from the world's leading financial centres and emerging markets.
IXEurope's IXFX solution has been designed to offer financial organisations the speed, flexibility and competitiveness they need to execute financial transactions with the minimum of latency, making it an optimum solution for firms looking to deliver best execution under MiFID and provide support for algorithmic trading engines. In addition, the company's Europe-wide hosting infrastructure enables the creation of neutral interactive communities for banks, financial trading companies and exchanges to interconnect with each other and multiple network service providers in order to execute financial transactions with the minimum of latency.
