BT Radianz, a leading global provider of financial services connectivity, has announced that Euronext.liffe, the international derivatives business of Euronext and the world's second largest derivatives exchange by value, is utilizing the Radianz Proximity Solution in London to provide low-latency access to the LIFFE CONNECT® trading platform.
Firms that trade on Euronext.liffe using LIFFE CONNECT will have the option to host their trading engines at the BT Radianz hosting facility in London to achieve the lowest execution time and avoid the natural latency that occurs when trading over distance. Reduced latency can also be achieved by using brokers that already utilize Radianz Proximity Solution to host their servers for trading on LIFFE CONNECT.
Chris Church, Executive Vice President, Global Sales, BT Radianz, says: “As today’s markets continue to become more automated, market participants need reliable connectivity solutions and robust capacity to meet market demands. By providing our Members with access to the LIFFE CONNECT service over BT Radianz shared market infrastructure and hosting facilities, we are addressing the demands for lower cost alternatives for clients to access the world’s most liquid exchanges in the shortest time possible. We are pleased to work with Euronext.liffe and look forward to rolling out LIFFE CONNECT to other BT Radianz hosting centers.”
Paul MacGregor, Director Technology Partnerships, Euronext.liffe, said: “The BT Radianz solution for the LIFFE CONNECT service will benefit our customers by offering super-fast, efficiently-delivered, hosted trading solutions to Euronext.liffe. Radianz Proximity Solution allows us to reach a wider and more diverse customer base. Furthermore, BT Radianz’s footprint in the financial services sector allows us to explore a number of other joint sales and marketing initiatives to increase the ease and efficiency of trading with Euronext.liffe.”
