“Since launching nearly two years ago, one of our primary focuses has been working with both our global subscriber base and the vendor community to provide fair, seamless and, above all else, low-latency access to our industry-leading trading platform,” said Dan Kessous, COO of Chi-X Canada. “Switch and Data's world-class Toronto facility will enable us to provide the level of service that our existing clients have come to expect from Chi-X Canada, while at the same time allowing us to continue bringing new global trading participants to Canada.”
“By virtue of its downtown location, our Toronto Financial EcoCenter sits at the terminus of several of the long-haul fibre optic cables originating in New York and Chicago. As such, many of the world's leading trading firms and vendors are already connected, making 151 Front Street an ideal location for Chi-X Canada's primary data centre,” said John Panzica, Vice President Financial Services Practice for Switch and Data.
Chi-X Canada will retain its current Exchange Tower data centre as its backup facility, and expects the move to 151 Front Street to take place in late Q2.
By hosting its co-location customers and its industry-leading matching engine with Switch and Data, Chi-X Canada will provide a secure and scalable facility to support its continued growth as one of Canada's largest equities marketplaces. Switch and Data's site is located within 151 Front Street, one of the pre-eminent telecommunications carrier hotel and data centre facilities in Canada. The facility provides resilient and redundant cooling, UPS and generator systems plus 24x7 site security, environmental and infrastructure monitoring, and technical support. The site has been designed to provide high-density power and cooling for the latest generation of servers.
