Colocube supplies enterprise cloud and private cloud hosting services to a broad range of industries and its vendor-neutral cloud environment can be customized to meet each customer’s application requirements. Equinix customers have the ability to directly connect to Colocube in AT1 through a simple cross-connect. In addition to serving Atlanta, Colocube is able to leverage Equinix’s global footprint to expand into new markets and optimize the performance of cloud applications. New customers for Colocube include Titan Trading Analytics Inc. (TSX Venture: TTA, OTCBB: TITAF), a hosted provider of behavioral research and trading strategies for the financial services industry, who is relocating its headquarters to Atlanta.
“To best serve our growing customer base we needed a vendor that could meet our needs in Atlanta today, while also anticipating what we may need in the future,” said Fred Tanzella, CEO of Colocube. “Equinix is not only able to meet our physical data center needs, but having access to their rich ecosystems and global platform allows us to expand our business to service customers across North America and globally.”
Colocube’s cloud offerings are carrier neutral and monitored by third-party Internet security firms. This security is critical for organizations like Titan that serve the highly regulated financial services industry. Titan’s proprietary trading solution, Tick Analyst, monitors real-time data and simultaneously sifts through a decade of historical stock trades to generate behavioral trade recommendations. This data is delivered to hedge funds, prime brokers and retail brokers in real-time to help them make informed trading decisions. Terabytes of data are processed for Titan to identify hidden trading opportunities. Through Colocube and Equinix, Titan will be able to locate servers and data in key financial markets, where its customers are, reducing latency and improving performance. Titan is planning to expand beyond Atlanta and will be leveraging Colocube and Equinix data centers in New York, Chicago and London, with plans to extend into EMEA and Asia-Pacific over the next 12 months.
“The nature of our product requires a high-performance, secure and scalable environment to deliver the real-time analytics our financial services customers require,” said John Coulter, President and CEO of Titan Trading. “With Colocube and Equinix, we have decreased the amount of time it takes to generate new algorithms by a factor of five, allowing us to focus on our customers, not our servers.”
“We’re excited to introduce Colocube into the Equinix ecosystem as our first managed cloud provider in the Atlanta IBX,” said Vince DiMemmo, general manager, Cloud and IT services at Equinix. “Customers like Titan Trading get the benefits of Colocube’s cloud management tools, while also having access to Equinix’s interconnect capabilities, decreasing latency while reaching key customers in the global financial services market.”
