Launching from the Equinix data center campus in Frankfurt, Germany, OptionsCity's colocation site positions the company to further provide clients with consistent performance.

"We continuously look for ways to improve and accelerate performance for our clients. Choosing a data center as a gateway to Eurex was the next step in expanding our service," said Rudy Fasouliotis, CIO of OptionsCity Software. "Equinix is an industry leader and has the low latency connectivity and access our customers require with reliability and confidence."

"In recent years, the volume of electronic trading has grown exponentially. In response to this development, the infrastructure we provide in our global data centers offer financial service providers direct connectivity with increased performance," said Stewart Orrell, managing director, Global Financial Services at Equinix. "We are excited that OptionsCity has placed its trust in Equinix and can take advantage of the business opportunity that our rich ecosystem of financial services companies provides."
