Equinix strengthens its Financial eXchange community with the addition of Chi-X Europe
Petrina Steele, VP Business Development – Europe, Equinix: “Chi-X Europe is clearly set to play a key role in the evolving European equities market, and we are delighted that they have joined the rapidly-growing Equinix financial community.”
With its Financial eXchange solution, Equinix was the first company to launch proximity services for an exchange in Europe. The service facilitates an electronic model for a new generation of financial hubs, such as traditional exchanges, alternative venues such as Chi-X Europe, other liquidity pools, market data vendors, trading platforms and clearing and settlement providers. Chi-X Europe will join more than 40 other European customers that have already relocated their systems within Equinix’s network of Financial eXchange hubs to take advantage of the company’s proven proximity capabilities.
According to Chi-X Europe’s Director, Hirander Misra: “Equinix’s datacentre services and proximity solutions will enable our clients to further reduce their already ultra-low response times whilst continuing to provide the resilience and redundancy that a high availability execution venue such as Chi-X Europe requires. Chi-X Europe is a pan-European equities Multilateral Trading Facility and we believe that working with Equinix will continue to broaden our access to those Continental European clients seeking to connect.”
“With our Equinix Financial eXchange approach we’re successfully helping firms to achieve ultra-low latency performance, take advantage of direct access cross-connects in our next generation financial hubs, and benefit from Equinix’s proven high quality datacentre performance and business continuity capabilities,” added Petrina Steele, VP Business Development – Europe, for Equinix. “Chi-X Europe is clearly set to play a key role in the evolving European equities market, and we are delighted that they have joined the rapidly-growing Equinix financial community.”
