Investment and trading firms are now able to cross-connect to Burgundy’s matching engines by colocating their trading systems at Interxion’s Stockholm data centre. This will allow market participants to cost-effectively connect to Burgundy at ultra-low latency.
“Our existing and future customers can now benefit from low-latency access to Burgundy now that the matching engines have gone live at Interxion,” said Olof Neiglick, Burgundy’s CEO. “A significant proportion of Nordic trading is currently being conducted outside the region, so there is a clear need for colocation and proximity services.
