Interxion cuts cost and latency for SIX Swiss Exchange customers

SIX Swiss Exchange is the latest Exchange to choose Interxion's City of London data centre campus to host a new Point of Presence (PoP).

Interxion will provide SIX Swiss Exchange’s London-based customers with the best possible connectivity through local access points within Interxion’s data centre, reducing costs and improving latency. Thanks to the new PoP, SIX Swiss Exchange customers in the UK can reduce connectivity costs by up to 25% while benefiting from 15% better latency on average compared to conventional connectivity implementations.

This is the latest in a series of new deployments as Interxion continues its strong momentum in financial services. With its City of London data centre facility ideally located for London’s financial services industry, Interxion now boasts Exchange and multilateral trading facility (MTF) customers including the Australian Stock Exchange, BATS Chi-X Europe, Equiduct, NASDAQ OMX, ICE Futures Europe, Euronext, Singapore Exchange and TMX Group.

Adriaan Oosthoek, UK Managing Director at Interxion, said: “The launch of this access point adds great value to our community of over 200 financial service institutions by significantly reducing costs and latency for accessing the SIX Swiss Exchange trading platform from London. This announcement further reinforces our position as a leading provider of connectivity services to the financial community.”

Chris Landis, Head of Operations at SIX Swiss Exchange, commented: “We have consistently made a focus on customers our aim over the last years, which has allowed us to attract liquidity and strengthen our position as the independent investment network of choice. Today represents the next milestone in our continuous pursuit to increase our client centricity. We are excited to offer our existing and potential new trading participants a cost-efficient option to connect to our growing market.”
