March 10, 2010
The Boston Options Exchange (BOX) said today it is moving its operations within the Equinix NY4 International Business Exchange (IBX) data center in Secaucus, N.J.
BOX's ultra-low latency matching engine can be accessed from hubs in Chicago and New York and participants wishing to connect at NY4 can arrange space directly through Equinix. The addition of BOX to the Equinix Financial eXhange ecosystem "opens up new business opportunities and relationships to all community members through Equinix’s cross-connect services," noted BOX.
“Equinix provides a healthy exchange ecosystem – in essence a ‘living reef’ – where all participants can access additional data feeds and other technology vendors via cross-connects, and where market makers, high-frequency traders and order flow providers can co-exist,” said BOX senior vice president Alan Grigoletto
ohn Knuff, head of business development at Equinix noted that BOX's move to Equinix "further benefits our existing community members who may want to connect with the Boston Options Exchange.”
