CoreOne Technologies Selects Equinix to Support Asia-Pacific Expansion

Global financial solution provider extends delivery of its services in the region via Platform Equinix in Singapore

Mar 30, 2014

SINGAPORE - March 31, 2014 - Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the global interconnection and data center company, today announced that Coreone Technologies has deployed in one of its International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers in Singapore (SG2). The deployment will enable CoreOne Technologies to offer its VistaOne information management and reporting platforms to its growing international customer base in Asia-Pacific.

VistaOne, a subsidiary of CoreOne Technologies, delivers a leading financial platform that securely connects data from complex enterprise systems for the world’s leading fund administrators, prime brokers, hedge funds, investment banks, insurers, and asset and wealth managers. The deployment in Singapore serves as the second phase of CoreOne Technologies’ expansion strategy, which follows implementations in Equinix’s London, New York and Chicago data centers.

Highlights / Key Facts

  • There is an increasing requirement for financial industry professionals to implement more information control and a general overview of their infrastructure across the Asia-Pacific region. According to a KPMG report on regulation driving business change, banks in the region face major challenges around data management, including the need to hold and use the right data to get much closer to their customers, and the ability to meet the wide-ranging and significant increases in demands from regulators and others for reporting and disclosures.
  • CoreOne Technologies recognizes that firms need to improve capabilities related to data aggregation process, with the key gaps being attributed to a lack of data integration and workflow management across sources. VistaOne is designed to provide an independent repository and distribution framework to address these issues.
  • While the initial deployment will focus on CoreOne Technologies’ VistaOne platform, Equinix will also enable the company to extend its prime brokerage and fund administration application services to the Asia-Pacific region.
  • CoreOne Technologies selected Equinix for its proven experience working across multiple markets and its ability to adhere to local information security requirements such as the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) Internet Banking and Technology Risk Management (IBTRM) Guidelines. As a result of its deployment in SG2, CoreOne Technologies meets regulatory requirements and bridges the gap between asset managers, regulators and financial communities in the Asia-Pacific region.
  • With Platform Equinix™, CoreOne Technologies has access to a secure, power-dense, high availability and high connectivity data center to build a virtualized environment to handle core internal operations and deliver data management products and services to clients in Asia-Pacific.
  • In SG2, as in London, New York and Chicago, CoreOne Technologies benefits from an agile and flexible infrastructure needed to deliver high performing solutions online and withstand customer data spikes.
  • Direct access to more than 975 network providers and the ability to interconnect with more than 4,500 companies also using Platform Equinix enables CoreOne Technologies to efficiently serve its 300 different licensing entities around the world, and 150 websites accessing the VistaOne platform.
  • Equinix’s global data center footprint of more than 100 facilities in 32 strategic markets also provides CoreOne Technologies with the ability to scale its services cost effectively into additional global markets when it needs to.
