Business Wire
Chi-X® Canada ATS Limited and Switch and Data (NASDAQ: SDXC), a
leading provider of network-neutral data centre and Internet
exchange services, today announced that Chi-X Canada has selected
Switch and Data’s Toronto Financial EcoCenterSM at 151 Front Street
as its primary data centre. The move to one of downtown Toronto’s
premier data centre facilities will allow Chi-X Canada to grow
while continuing to provide equitable access to subscribers wishing
to co-locate at the facility and even lower latency connectivity
for its domestic and international direct subscribers.
“Since launching nearly two years ago, one of our primary foci
has been working with both our global subscriber base and the
vendor community to provide fair, seamless and low-latency access
to our industry-leading trading platform,” said Dan Kessous, COO of
Chi-X Canada. “Switch and Data’s world-class Toronto facility will
enable us to provide the level of service that our existing clients
have come to expect from Chi-X Canada, while at the same time
allowing us to continue bringing new global trading participants to
Canada.”
“By virtue of its downtown location, our Toronto Financial
EcoCenter sits at the terminus of several of the long-haul fibre
optic cables originating in New York and Chicago. As such, many of
the world’s leading trading firms and vendors are already
connected, making 151 Front Street an ideal location for Chi-X
Canada’s primary data centre,” said John Panzica, Vice President
Financial Services Practice for Switch and Data.
Chi-X Canada will retain its current Exchange Tower data centre
as its backup facility, and expects the move to 151 Front Street to
take place in late Q2.
By hosting its colocation customers and its industry-leading
matching engine with Switch and Data, Chi-X Canada will provide a
secure and scalable facility to support its continued growth as one
of Canada’s largest equities marketplaces. Switch and Data’s site
is located within 151 Front Street, one of the pre-eminent
telecommunications carrier hotel and data centre facilities in
Canada. The facility provides resilient and redundant cooling, UPS
and generator systems plus 24x7 site security, environmental and
infrastructure monitoring, and technical support. The site has been
designed to provide high-density power and cooling for the latest
generation of servers.
