The Tokyo Commodity Exchange, Inc. announced today that AT TOKYO Corporation will provide proximity services at two of its data centers. The “AT TOKYO Chuo Data Center” (CC1) and “AT TOKYO Chuo Data Center #2” (CC2) (collectively called the “TOCOM Proximity Center”) will go into service in September 2016 in conjunction with the Exchange’s new trading platform.
AT TOKYO will provide TOCOM market participants with ultra-low latency connections to Access Point 3 (AP3). The service will also offer connectivity to other exchanges in Japan and abroad.
TOCOM expects the proximity service to be a financial hub, bolstering TOCOM’s market, connecting to markets in Hong Kong, Singapore and North America and serving as an optimal network for high-speed traders.
