Market participants located at any of the group’s data centres can take advantage of AlgoSpan’s high speed, high bandwidth shortest path connectivity to liquidity venues across London, continental Europe and the US. Customers can trial Algo Technologies’ European market data feed free of charge.

Interxion estimates the latency between its East London data centre and its bigger brother in Slough, about 35km to the west, to be 270 microseconds.

Hirander Misra, chief executive of Algo Technologies and co-founding director of AlgoSpan, said: “An important factor in our co-location decision was the unique City of London location of Interxion’s data centre, combined with their fast growing financial services customer community.

“Interxion’s extensive customer base, combined with our speed of connectivity and quality of market data, positions us well to help the latency-sensitive trading community gain ultra-fast connectivity to trading venues and market data feeds.”
