Fixnetix and Equinix sign global solution partner agreement

Fixnetix market data, risk management and trading infrastructure solutions expands globally with four new Asia- Pacific deployments.

Equinix, Inc. has signed a worldwide Solution Partner Agreement with Fixnetix, a leading global managed services provider for ultra-low-latency market data, trading and risk control. The joint agreement will promote and extend the availability of Fixnetix’s data feeds and trading connectivity solutions to Equinix’s 800-strong global, multi-asset financial services customer ecosystem. To ensure worldwide reach and address growing demand from European and American market participants venturing into Asia Pacific markets, Fixnetix is extending its global footprint into Equinix International Business Exchange (IBX™) data centers in Tokyo, Sydney, Hong Kong and Singapore.

The agreement covers Fixnetix’s full range of data feeds and trading connectivity solutions – iX-Direct, iX-Max, iX-Trade, @Source Hosting and iX-Eye. Customers accessing this portfolio of award-winning services based on Equinix technical infrastructure can gain access to liquidity at the highest possible speeds with no buffering or loss of data and full redundancy.

The new Fixnetix infrastructure in Equinix Tokyo (TY3), Sydney (SY2), Hong Kong (HK1) and Singapore (SG1) International Business Exchange (IBX®) data centers – deployed as the first stage of the agreement – will provide sub-millisecond access feeds and trading connectivity solutions to over 10 local and 80+ global execution venues.

The new locations add to what is already an extensive and highly interconnected Fixnetix infrastructure across Platform Equinix™, covering 12 key markets in EMEA and the U.S with existing deployments in Equinix’s London, Frankfurt, Zurich, New York and Chicago data centers. Since Fixnetix first started working with Equinix in Frankfurt in 2007, the number of interconnections serving customers in Equinix facilities has grown dramatically to its current level of approximately 400.

Equinix global IBX® data centers provide a neutral meeting place for the world’s electronic trading community, whilst controlling bandwidth costs, reducing CapEx and simplifying infrastructure. Equinix interconnects some 800+ trading venues, market data providers, networks and technology service providers within the world’s largest multi-asset financial ecosystem.
