October 7th, 2008 - ICAP to extend premium connectivity service to Equinix London data centre

ICAP to extend premium connectivity service to Equinix London data centre

Eric Schwartz, President, Equinix Europe: "Our network-rich LD4 data centre provides a high-performance connectivity platform for ICAP customers seeking the fastest and most reliable links to ICAP's services."

Equinix Inc. has announced that ICAP will expand its interconnectivity i-Cross service to Equinix's London-Slough Internet Business Exchange data centre. The service is expected to be available by the end of this year.

ICAP's i-Cross service in LD4 facilitates the hosting of customers' equipment and high speed network connectivity to the matching engine, enabling quicker time to market for a range of foreign exchange (FX) product trading and market data services. i-Cross is of particular benefit to institutions without a physical presence in the region that trade during that region's hours.

"This extension of ICAP's services to financial market participants in Equinix's London-Slough data centre builds upon the successful partnership that Equinix and ICAP have in providing high-speed, low-latency access options to customers in North America," commented David Rutter, deputy chief executive officer of ICAP Electronic Broking. "Choosing Equinix as our premium connectivity and proximity partner for Europe was a logical choice."

"Our network-rich LD4 data centre provides a high-performance connectivity platform for ICAP customers seeking the fastest and most reliable links to ICAP's services," added Eric Schwartz, president of Equinix Europe. "The addition of ICAP and their trading platforms to LD4 will also enhance our service offering to the high concentration of financial companies already colocated at Equinix in London, where they have access to a rich mix of carriers and financial extranets providing metro, regional and international connectivity for the electronic trading community."
