SIX Swiss Exchange to open access node at Equinix data centre

SIX Swiss Exchange will open an access node for its critical trading system infrastructure at Equinix's recently opened International Business Exchange data centre in Zurich, allowing financial services firms direct access to the Swiss Securities Exchange.

The city centre location of Equinix's ZH4 IBX data centre will support proximity co-location to the SIX Swiss Exchange, and will enable Equinix to offer financial market participants low latency access to this key trading platform.

"Equinix has expanded rapidly into the world's top financial centres, and we are very pleased to see that Equinix is offering its services to the members of SIX Swiss Exchange," said Clemens Reuter, head of member relations at SIX Swiss Exchange.
