Chicago Mercantile Exchange to Offer Connectivity for Collocated E-Trading

Posted on: Thursday, 5 October 2006, 12:00 CDT

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange is to begin offering customer firms the opportunity to connect their collocated trading servers over high-speed fiber optic connections in the fourth quarter of 2006.

These redundant server connections are expected to decrease network latency times for order entry to CME Globex to less than one millisecond. The new connection option is called CME Local Network (CME LNet).

"Speed and reliability are two of the most critical components of electronic trading in our business and our technology investments continue to focus on these core components," said CME managing director of products and services Rick Redding.

CME says that its selection of Equinix and Digital Realty Trust will enable customers to directly connect to CME Globex through high performance, high availability fiber links.
