Optimize Your InfrastructurePerformance and cost-efficiency matter with financial trading.
Equinix delivers a global platform for connecting to the most partners while reducing the number and cost of high-speed interconnections.
Rewriting the Rules for Financial Trading Infrastructure
The technology arms race continues, as does the roller coaster ride of global financial markets. Yet the real revolution lies in distributed trading, a new globalized way to do business, being pioneered by the high frequency trading (HFT) community, but increasingly applied by all market participants. We call it next generation machine-to-machine e-commerce (M2M 2.0).
