Will leverage Equinix Financial eXchangeTM Service to reach the mass of network and trading companies, within a single centralized location.

Equinix, Inc., a provider of network-neutral data centers and Internet exchange services and RTS Realtime Systems Group, a financial software vendor, yesterday announced that RTS has moved its data center operations from an internally-managed center to Equinix's Chicago Internet Business Exchange (IBX) center.

RTS claims that with this deployment, it will be able to directly reach an aggregation of network service providers and financial trading companies, including strategic customers and partners, within a single centralized location.

With its deployment to Equinix's Chicago data center hub, RTS will enhance the speed, performance and reliability of its services. By reaching these strategic partners and customers within a single, centralized location rather than in multiple locations and across great distances, RTS will streamline their connectivity infrastructure and enhance performance.

"Equinix and the company's Financial eXchange service provide us with the infrastructure, services and proximity to partners and customers that will allow us to greatly scale and expand our growing operations while maintaining the highest levels of performance and offering even more attractive service level agreements to our customers," said Steffen Gemuenden, Deputy CEO of RTS.
