Access Services Offers Innovative Super Cab and 40G Client Connectivity
Only Exchange to Provide Highest Cabinet Power, Fastest Access, and Highest
Bandwidth
NEW YORK, 2012-02-07 00:54 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc.
(Nasdaq:NDAQ) today announced two new Access Services offerings, Super Cab and
40G Client Connectivity, which provide NASDAQ OMX Data Center customers with
the highest cabinet power, fastest access and highest bandwidth available in an
exchange's co-location facility. The launch of Super Cab is effective
immediately and 40G Client Connectivity will launch subject to filing with the
Securities Exchange Commission.
Super Cab provides customers at the NASDAQ OMX Data Center with up to 17
kilowatts of power to operate and cool trading equipment within a single
cabinet. This is the highest cabinet power available at any exchange's data
center. NASDAQ OMX Access Services will utilize an innovative cabinet cooling
design that draws the hot equipment exhaust into a custom cabinet chimney for
maximum power at a high efficiency level. Super Cab provides customers with
efficiencies in their co-location infrastructure. The solution also reduces
cabinet-to-cabinet connectivity latency and maintains reliability with fully
redundant power capacity.
40G Client Connectivity provides customers at the NASDAQ OMX Data Center in the
U.S. the ability to access all of the exchange group's U.S. markets through a
single ultra low latency connection. Network latency on 40G is expected to be
reduced by an average of 7 microseconds roundtrip compared to the current 10G
connectivity option available to co-location clients. The service offers the
fastest access with the highest bandwidth available at any exchange. In
addition, customers can use 40G Client Connectivity to access all data feeds
offered in the NASDAQ OMX Data Center, including NASDAQ OMX market data and
many other U.S. exchange feeds and consolidated feeds.
Stacie Swanstrom, Vice President of Transaction Services at NASDAQ OMX, said,
'NASDAQ OMX is pleased to be the first exchange to offer these innovative
co-location solutions.'
She added, 'Super Cab and 40G Client Connectivity add to the most advanced
offerings available at the NASDAQ OMX Data Center, providing the highest tiers
in a suite of services for power, access and bandwidth.'
The NASDAQ OMX Data Center is a leading liquidity center and one of the largest
U.S. trading hubs in the world. It hosts both equities and options markets and
