Savvis Proximity Hosting to Underpin Global Low Latency Platform
London - 5 October, 2009 - Thomson Reuters today announced a major
expansion of its hosting platform with a global initiative to provide
high performance liquidity discovery and execution support. In
collaboration with Savvis, Inc. (Nasdaq:SVVS), Thomson Reuters will
launch a series of fully resilient, scalable, performance tuned data
centers including New York, Chicago, London, Frankfurt, Tokyo, and
Singapore. The global network will offer customers access to low
latency market data, analytics and data management platform, together
with the ability to have their infrastructure, low latency data feeds
and applications hosted and managed within these centres.
The Thomson Reuters Enterprise solution suite will be accessible in
each data centre, with high performance direct market connectivity to
worldwide execution venues, real time market data, and post trade
capabilities. This will enable customers to plug their trading
applications into a single architecture designed to bring market
participants closer to strategic points of liquidity. In addition,
customers will benefit from lower total cost of ownership,
streamlined deployment and improved time to market with a single
point of access to global trading venues.
Jon Robson, President, Enterprise, Thomson Reuters, said: "Thomson
Reuters Hosting Solution will provide clients with a tiered, flexible
approach that they can tailor to their trading strategies. This
launch is part of a significant investment to support customers as
they respond to the rapidly evolving market environment. Neutrality,
global coverage, and simplicity are key components of this offering.
This is a natural step that will enable our clients to gain
ubiquitous connectivity and access to industry leading, high
performance, managed solutions for evolving sell-side and buy-side
business needs."
"We are excited to work with Thomson Reuters to build out this
benchmark strategic proximity hosting solution," said Bill Fathers,
Savvis, Senior Vice President, and Managing Director, U.S. "The new
delivery model will allow customers to further reduce their cost of
ownership, increase access to low latency capabilities and rapidly
enter new markets."
The combined offering will provide Thomson Reuters global portfolio
of low latency feed technology, aggregated data feeds, middleware and
experience in data centre management together with Savvis' existing
hosting facilities, proximity hosting and market connectivity for
both FIX trading and 200 exchange and venue connections. The
initiative will enable clients to access world class proximity
hosting facilities and robust, scalable infrastructure providing the
