Business Wire
Switch and Data (NASDAQ: SDXC), a leading provider of
network-neutral data center and Internet exchange services,
announced today that Lexent Metro Connect, the leading provider of
dark fiber networks in the New York metropolitan area has become
part of Switch and Data’s GeoReach program. Lexent Metro Connect
has also completed its construction of a low-latency dark fiber
network route to Switch and Data’s North Bergen site located at
5851 Westside Avenue in New Jersey.
Lexent provides dark fiber interconnectivity between Switch and
Data's North Bergen and 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, colocation
sites and other leading New York Metro data centers and financial
exchanges. This critical, low-latency interconnectivity provides
high performance access for Switch and Data's clients in both
facilities.
“Providing reliable connectivity services and affordable network
solutions are common goals Lexent shares with Switch and Data,”
stated Ray La Chance, President and CEO of Lexent Metro Connect.
“With our ultra low-latency dark fiber routes, Switch and Data
clients can benefit from secure, high-bandwidth connectivity, cost
effectively compared to traditional carrier options such as
Ethernet private-line connectivity.”
Switch and Data's GeoReach program is a select group of
providers who have engineered their networks to meet the needs of
the high-frequency trading community. GeoReach participants have
engineered optimum paths from Switch and Data’s Financial
EcoCentersSM to each of the regional liquidity providers to satisfy
the requirements of the most latency-sensitive infrastructure.
Firms can focus on their core operations and add each new ATS or
Exchange using a low cost, minimal footprint, while still
maintaining ultra low-latency communication across the financial
markets.
“As a partner in our GeoReach program, Lexent’s network provides
our customers with high-quality and resilient dark fiber network
connectivity to a wide variety of customers in the financial
services space,” said John Panzica, Vice President of Switch and
Data’s Financial Services Practice. “Delivering multiple, robust
connectivity options is key for our clients.”
GeoReach participants are a critical element of Switch and
Data’s Financial EcoCenters, which provide mission-critical
infrastructure to meet the security, volume and low-latency
requirements of the electronic trading community. Switch and Data’s
EcoCenters aggregate an ecosystem of the pre- and post-trade
service provider, buy-side and sell-side communities into Switch
and Data sites located in the geographic center of the major
liquidity providers in New York and Toronto.
