InterContinentalExchange’s (ICE) primary trade matching engine for all OTC and futures products will, as of the close of business on 18 January, 2008, migrate permanently from Atlanta to the company’s Chicago data centre location.
The new hosting facility includes expanded co-location capabilities and will provide the physical space, electric power, and bandwidth necessary to accommodate ICE’s messaging traffic, trading volume and customer base.
The systems being relocated provide support for ICE’s global electronic markets, which include ICE OTC, ICE Futures Europe, ICE Futures U.S., and the Winnipeg Commodity Exchange.
Customers currently using one of ICE’s connectivity applications such as co-location, data hub, point-to-point, or a managed network provider will have continued access to the Chicago data centre without disruption and without the need for additional circuits. All customer connections will be automatically routed to the Chicago data centre and customers will not be required to make any network or connection configuration changes.
