Perseus Clocks Go Live in Equinix LD4

Low-latency fiber network and wireless connectivity provider Perseus Telecom has rolled out its High Precision Time clock -- which effectively creates clones of the US government's official atomic clock, operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado -- within datacenter and hosting provider Equinix's LD4 facility in Slough, outside London, which houses the matching engines of marketplaces such as BATS Chi-X, Nasdaq OMX NLX, Turquoise and the London Metal Exchange.

Deploying the clock device in the LD4 center will enable co-located trading firms and market operators to more accurately timestamp market data for regulatory compliance purposes.
