Our Chicago data center is located in downtown Chicago at 427 S. LaSalle. The 180,032 square-foot colocation facility, adjacent to the Chicago Board of Trade (CME), is one of Chicago’s premier data centers. The Chicago data center was designed to meet the security, interconnection and power requirements of the world’s leading financial institutions. We can offer access to financial exchanges, such as NASDAQ OMX/IDCG, to trade faster and more reliably.
In addition to excellent access to financial exchanges, our Chicago colocation facility has direct access to 20 other carriers and service providers. 427 S. LaSalle has been at the heart of Chicago’s communications thoroughfare since 1919 when it was built by Western Union and significantly renovated in 1999 and 2007. As one of Chicago’s most connected colocationsites, many carriers and service providers also offer easy access to network with other POPs at 111 N. Canal, 600 S. Federal and 350 E. Cermak.
The highly secure Chicago colocation facility is easily accessible from the major commercial office and trading hubs in Chicago, including adjacent access to the South Loop. Managing your data and trading platforms within Chicago has never been easier or more efficient. To support the demands of successful traders, financial firms and hedge funds, our Chicago data center has ample redundant AC and DC power, including the ability to cool the next generation hardware equipment used to support mission-critical trading applications.
