Options' clients colocated at the facilities will benefit from low latency connectivity to SIX exchange feeds at source and a proximity option to the Borsa Italiana exchange feeds. The Options platform today offers dedicated managed colocation services at over 20 key trading hubs across Europe, North America and Asia.

This market expansion will continue throughout 2018, with further new managed colocation facilities planned in Spain (Madrid), South Africa (Johannesburg), South Korea (Seoul) and Singapore. Options' Global Head of Account Management, Stephen Morrow, commented, "This latest project milestone reaffirms our commitment to supporting sought after locations across Europe. These new venues allow us to offer new connectivity options to 2 top tier European exchanges, either in-country or across our backbone to central hubs in London."
