Selerity Selects Equinix Frankfurt for European Datacenter Expansion
September 12 2011 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
Selerity, a provider of real-time event data solutions for the
financial services industry, today announced that it has co-located
in the Equinix Frankfurt (FR2) datacenter to provide low-latency
local access to its event data. This marks Selerity’s third
low-latency distribution and aggregation point of presence (PoP) on
Platform Equinix™, with co-location already in Chicago, IL (CH1),
and Secaucus, NJ (NY2).
As programmatic and high-frequency traders using event data seek
to diversify their trading strategies, they are increasingly
looking to overseas markets. Through the new location, Selerity
clients will gain access to various market-moving events in
real-time to incorporate into trading strategies that use financial
products listed on European exchanges. Several of Selerity’s event
data sets can now be locally produced and distributed in all three
PoPs, cutting out as much as 40 to 60 milliseconds in travel time
from the U.S. and other origination points. The Frankfurt location
will also serve as an event data aggregation point for the European
market, collecting regional corporate and economic events.
“Breaking events from one region, such as the U.S., can have a
profound impact on other regional markets. Our clients trading on
European exchanges were looking for a way to locally access
Selerity’s event data for their European trading and risk
strategies,” said Ryan Terpstra, founder and CEO of Selerity. “With
the move into the FR2 datacenter, we are able to offer clients
low-latency access to our event data without having to back-haul
from its origination points in the U.S. We are pleased to expand
our successful relationship with Equinix to gain global access and
distribution.”
“Equinix’s global platform of high-performance data centers and
its extensive financial ecosystem enable financial companies to
grow their businesses and expand into new markets,” said John
Knuff, general manager, global financial services at Equinix. “With
news and event data increasingly becoming a crucial aspect of
high-frequency trading, Selerity is a valued addition to our
ecosystem of exchanges, sell-side and buy-side firms, as well as
market data and service providers.”
