New York – March 6, 2013 – Options, the leading private financial cloud provider for the global capital markets industry, today announced that it has recently completed the upgrade of the route between its venues in Savvis Weehawken, New Jersey (NJ2) and Equinix Secaucus New Jersey (NY4). The newly upgraded link utilizes the fastest fibre path available, reduces round-trip latency on the route by 36% and will further complement the firm’s wireless connectivity, in addition to providing tailored balances of speed, availability and cost.
This latest announcement follows a busy 12 months on the connectivity front for Options that saw the firm add Quincy Data’s Quincy Extreme Data (“QED”) service, enabling the managed service provider to offer data at the lowest known latencies to customers trading across markets in Equinix NY4 and the CME, announce more than new 60 markets, including ultra-low latency connectivity in NJ2 and NY4 to Barclays, Citi, Credit Suisse, Currenex and Deutsche Bank, and add HSBC and Alliance Bernstein dark pools as destinations in Europe.
