Within Equinix's New York and Chicago centers, Fixnetix will have a direct connection to Equinix Financial eXchange's established community of execution venues, buy and sell side firms and technology utilities, that have located at Equinix's high performance data centers to access the widest choice of low-latency networks and to directly exchange data with strategic partners and customers in close proximity. The high quality and advanced design of Equinix's centers offers financial customers a full range of scalable services, including colocation, interconnection, support and the highest levels of security.

Fixnetix feeds integrate easily into an organization's existing architecture or can be used in a dedicated environment such as the Equinix Financial eXchange to deliver ultimate end-to-end performance. Whether co-located using Fixnetix's @Source hosting or connecting via the company's Ethernet and Fibre networks, Fixnetix always ensures the fastest end-to-end performance for trading infrastructures.
“Fixnetix is well known for offering the highest levels of performance for its end-to-end, ultra-low latency market and data services,” said John Knuff, director of business development for Equinix. “We are delighted that when they decided to expand their operations in North America, they chose Equinix's financial hubs in the New York and Chicago areas as their primary U.S. points of presence. The large community of financial trading firms in our New York and Chicago area centers will now have access to Fixnetix's low-latency market data and trading infrastructure, offering minimal latency to all major trading venues in Europe.”
“With this expansion into the North American market we're looking to capitalise on the growing demand from firms with trading strategies that require access to related - but separate - international markets,” added Fixnetix's Chief Executive Officer, Hugh Hughes. “Our customers rely on our ultra-low latency market data feeds and trading connectivity to provide them with competitive advantage, so when we decided to offer two-way connectivity between the US and Europe we knew that we would have to establish points of presence and set up our hubs with a data center partner that could offer the highest levels of security, reliability and low level connectivity. Equinix was the obvious choice, and the combination of our technology running across the Equinix technical infrastructure means that our customers will be able to rely on the highest levels of performance.”
