NYSE Euronext Opens European Liquidity Data Center

NYSE Euronext has opened its European liquidity data center, which the exchange operator says will house all of the company’s European markets.

NYSE Euronext said its first phase of customers have begun installing the equipment in preparation for the company’s transfer of all NYSE’s European matching machines during the fourth quarter.

“The facility has been designed from the ground up to facilitate the free flow of global liquidity and enhance our customer’s access to markets,” NYSE Euronext President Dominique Cerutti said in a statement.

The company said more than 40 high-frequency trading firms are scheduled for installation and testing prior to its migration of the primary matching machines for NYSE Euronext, NYSE Liffe, NYSE Arca Europe and Smartpool markets.
