Colocation
| What is colocation? Colocation is a specialized space in a stock exchange's data center that is shared with other parties, such as high-frequency traders. By sharing this space, colocation providers can offer their clients a number of advantages, including lower costs, improved performance, and increased security. So, what are the benefits of colocation? One of the biggest benefits is cost. By sharing space with other parties, colocation providers can offer their clients a much lower rate than if they were to lease their own space. In addition, colocation can also offer improved performance. By being located in the same facility as the stock exchange, colocation clients can enjoy lower latency and better connectivity. Finally, colocation can also offer increased security. By sharing space with other parties, colocation providers can offer their clients a higher level of security, as well as access to a variety of security features. |
