Navigating the Global Securities Market with Technology-Driven Trading

By selecting CoreSite's New York campus to build a strategy that adapts to the changing needs of the financial market, IMC can leverage access to native cloud onramps with direct connectivity to all the major public cloud providers as well as 60+ networks, including global carriers, subsea cables, metro networks and software-defined networks (SDNs).

Native cloud onramps also allow IMC to seamlessly boost its compute and storage needs to provide the capacity for optimized performance as well as reduce data transfer costs and eliminate egress fees. The modern facilities can easily scale both space and bandwidth to accommodate IMC's growth and deliver the performance IMC needs to deliver its highly automated systems and trading strategies that ensure tighter ‘spreads' between bid and offer prices, thus lowering transaction costs for buyers and sellers.

CoreSite continually invests in its infrastructure to ensure reliable, world-class facilities that can support the most intense requirements and deliver unrelenting uptime. Its redundant systems and interconnections provide the resiliency of its operations, and CoreSite's experienced team of experts ensures the environment is appropriately managed and maintained to minimize performance issues. This allows IMC to confidently focus on its core business rather than data center management.

Offering build-to-suit options and adaptable processes, CoreSite allows IMC to tailor environments to meet its existing and emerging technical requirements to better support trading functions. The flexibility and responsiveness of the CoreSite team also support ease of business by simplifying daily operations and delivering timely solutions that provide IMC with the information and support it needs. CoreSite also offers competitive commercial terms to improve IMC's cost effectiveness.

CoreSite helps IMC meet the rigorous compliance obligations of the financial sector using a multi-layered security program that integrates perimeter fencing, biometrics, badge readers, security cameras, 24/7/365 security personnel and best practices. CoreSite expertly balances these robust security measures with ease of access for authorized personnel. This is important to IMC as it frequently moves servers and other equipment between its New York-area facilities. CoreSite also possesses the certifications IMC needs to operate effectively in the highly regulated trading market.
