NYSE Euronext said it will set up as many as 40 small data center facilities inside colocation centers in key financial centers around the world to increase its market connections and its technology services offered to local banks and trading firms.
It will locate space in data centers run by colocation players including Equinix, Savvis and Telx Group, removing the need to build out its own facilities.
Its large data centers in Basildon in the UK and Mahwah in the US will be used as models for the smaller colo set-ups, according to NYSE. Called ‘liquidity hubs’, these centers will follow patents used for NYSE’s two main data centers, which currently house its main trading systems.
A report by Dow Jones Newswires listed Frankfurt, Tokyo, Sao Paulo and Hong Kong as locations that have been earmarked by the exchage.
NYSE Chief Executive for technologies Stanley Young told Dow Jones the move marks the next phase of NYSE’s plans to move into higher-margin hardware and system maintenance business, providing high-speed low-latency access to trading platforms around the world.
NYSE has its own trade-matching engines and customers systems will be placed inside the smaller data center operations to increase the speed of information exchange.
