Situated in the heart of the city, the Equinix GV1 IBX data centre is a carrier-neutral facility, offering Geneva's banking and financial organisations access to an unrivalled choice of telecom operator and internet access provider networks. The deal with Atrium Network further extends this choice. In addition to offering high-performance, low latency connectivity, the Equinix centre also offers a full range of co-location, interconnection, support and monitoring services.
"Equinix's Geneva data centre houses a critical mass of financial services firms, and they all require highly resilient connectivity services to facilitate their business operations. Our strategy is to provide them with access to the widest possible choice of networks," said Petrina Steele, vice president, business development, Equinix Europe. "Atrium Network is an important addition to our portfolio as it gives our Geneva clients access to even more liquidity pools, all through a single point of connectivity."
Since launching in 2006, Atrium Network's strategy has been to extend its connectivity footprint. In addition to its new deployment in Geneva, the company has POPs in Equinix IBX centres in London and Frankfurt, both of which have large Equinix Financial eXchange communities of financial market participants. Atrium also operates POPs in Paris, Lisbon, Madrid, Brussels, New York, Chicago and S�o Paulo.
Commenting on the opening, Emmanuel Carjat, Chief Executive of Atrium Network said, "The opening of our Geneva POP at Equinix is another step in Atrium Network's strategic development and adds to our European footprint with a goal of providing clients single point, low latency access to the principal exchanges, ECNs and MTFs. Our partnership with Equinix allows its GV1 financial customers to reach venues all across Europe and North and South America. This, coupled with 'Exchange Ring', our ultra low latency connectivity to multiple trading venues, allows us to help clients mitigate the risk of any unnecessary co-location investment and ensure lowest possible latency access to all available trading venues.
