Equinix Connects to BATS in Chicago
Data center provider Equinix is now offering connectivity to BATS' secondary data center facility in Chicago.
BATS will accept connections to all three of its US secondary market centers ─ its two equities exchanges, the BZX Exchange and BYX Exchange, and its equity options platform, BATS Options ─ inside the Equinix Chicago data center. The primary matching engines and associated trading infrastructure for these markets are hosted in BATS' primary data center in Weehawken, New Jersey.
In addition to providing disaster recovery for all of BATS' US markets, the secondary facility in Chicago provides live market data, which can be accessed via an Equinix cross-connect.
"We're excited to partner with Equinix to provide trading participants with connectivity to our US markets at our new secondary data center facility in Chicago, scheduled to be fully active in August," says Chris Isaacson, COO for BATS Global Markets. "We aim to allow our members maximum flexibility in accessing our exchanges. The Equinix data center in Chicago provides a rich ecosystem of trading participants and cutting-edge connectivity options, which will enable participants to cost-effectively cross-connect to our secondary facility in Chicago."
BATS is planning to offer a point-of-presence (POP) connection at Equinix's NY5 data center later this year, which will offer connectivity to BATS' primary data center in Weehawken.
