Options IT, the leading private financial cloud provider for the global capital markets industry, has today announced upgrades and expansions to its managed server hosting and connectivity in Carteret, New Jersey.
Options IT’s Carteret, New Jersey solution leverages the firm’s PIPE® Velocity platform, the IaaS (infrastructure-as-a-service) provider’s ultra-low latency market data, connectivity and application hosting service. The PIPE® Velocity platform helps support low latency trading, FIX connectivity, market data and computing infrastructure.
Customers leveraging the Options platform in Cartaret will have integrated high performance access to fixed income and derivatives markets including Brokertec, CME, ICE and NYSE Liffe, as well as a broad range of foreign exchange markets and global broker platforms.
