Services_How to connect

Connecting to our exchange

At Equiduct, we want to give our members access to our Best Execution services in a way that works for them, so we have four main connection options to choose from.

Your options include:

Centre cross-connect

Data centre cross-connect

Members who already have (or would like to order) space in the data centre can cross-connect to Equiduct directly.

Managed Lease Line

Managed leased line

Members who don’t have a space on the data centre can order a managed ethernet line to connect to Equiduct. With this option, the telco will be responsible to order the cross-connect from their demarcation point to Equiduct’s demarcation point.

Extranet_Provider

Connection via an extranet provider

Members can connect using an extranet provider to create a high-speed link to our technology. We work with major extranet providers, such as Pico Global, Colt PrizmNet, BT Radianz, ICE Global Network, Verizon, IPC and Transact Network Services.

nternet_VPN

Internet/VPN

Members can also use an Internet VPN connection for development and testing only.

Alternatively, members can connect directly to Equiduct using industry-standard FIX 4.4

Let’s arrange a meeting to discuss options

Interested in how our innovative approach can deliver improved quantifiable results for you and your customers? Let’s arrange an informal chat or zoom call.
