  • Interconnection
    Interconnection 101 As cloud usage takes off, data production grows exponentially, content pushes closer to the edge, and end users demand data and applications at all hours from all locations, the ability to connect with a wide variety of players becomes ever more important. This report introduces interconnection, its key players and busi- ness models, and trends that could affect interconnection going forward. KEY FINDINGS Network-dense, interconnection-oriented facilities are not easy to replicate and are typically able to charge higher prices for colocation, as well as charging for cross-connects and, in some cases, access to public Internet exchange platforms and cloud platforms. Competition is increasing, however, and competitors are starting the long process of creating network-dense sites. At the same time, these sites are valuable and are being acquired, so the sector is consolidating. Having facili- ties in multiple markets does seem to provide some competitive advantage, particularly if the facilities are similar in look and feel and customers can monitor them all from a single portal and have them on the same contract. Mobility, the Internet of Things, services such as SaaS and IaaS (cloud), and content delivery all depend on net- work performance. In many cases, a key way to improve network performance is to push content, processing and peering closer to the edge of the Internet. This is likely to drive demand for facilities in smaller markets that offer interconnection options. We also see these trends continuing to drive demand for interconnection facilities in the larger markets as well. © 2015 451 RESEARCH, LLC AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES.

  • Winter 2020 Colocation Services
    2020 WINTER CUSTOMER SUCCESS REPORT COLOCATION SERVICES CATEGORY COLOCATION SERVICES OVERVIEW Colocation services allow businesses to host their data in a third-party data center that has privately-owned networking equipment and servers. Instead of maintaining servers in-house, at a private data center, or in offices, enterprises can elect to co-locate their infrastructure by renting space in a colocation center. Unlike other types of hosting where clients can rent server space owned by a hosting vendor, with colocation, the client owns the server and rents the physical space needed to house it in a data center. The colocation service rents out data center space where clients can install their equipment. It also provides the cooling, IP address, bandwidth, and power systems that the customer needs to deploy their servers. 2 Customer Success Report Ranking Methodology The FeaturedCustomers Customer Success ranking is based on data from our customer reference Customer Success Report platform, market presence, web presence, & social Award Levels presence as well as additional data aggregated from online sources and media properties.

  • TRADE EUROPE NOW! the Why and How of Electronic Execution in the EU and Beyond
    TRADE EUROPE NOW! The Why and How of Electronic Execution in the EU and Beyond Commissioned by: Interxion Researched and Written by: A-Team Group TRADE EUROPE NOW! EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 01 European financial markets are poised for major change as institutions prepare for the EU’s Markets for Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) II regulation, which comes into effect in January 2017. 02 In the absence of a centralised pan-European order book, trading firms will need to consolidate orders from multiple trading venues to construct their own views of European Best Bid/Offer (EBBO). 03 The emerging picture of the European market structure presents US traders with opportunities to source significant liquidity and diversify their trading activities. 04 Practitioners also need access to independent service providers for key capabilities required under MiFID II, including time-stamping, time synchronisation and risk management gateways. 05 MiFID II’s focus on transparency across a broad range of asset types brings Europe more closely into line with US markets, making it relatively straightforward for US participants to take advantage of Europe’s sophisticated market centres. 06 To succeed, it’s essential that new entrants and current firms secure fast access to key trading venues in the London area, including the London Stock Exchange, BATS Chi-X, the Euronext markets, ICE Futures Europe (the former Liffe), and Frankfurt-based Eurex, a key leading indicator of European market direction. 07 London is the gateway to Europe and selecting the right colocation data centre from which to execute from is an important first step towards successful trading in Europe.Interxion’s City of London data centre campus is situated equidistant from key liquidity venues, Slough in the West, Basildon in the East and right next to the London Stock Exchange.
