Post From: EUREX Dedicated Server

Hi,

after the huge investing in Denali and Teton we can go a step further to cut the latencies down when trading at the EUREX in Frankfurt. SC + EdgeClear have promised that the risks checks are done at SC servers, so no network traffic should go outside Frankfurt when trading. The EUREX main feed and matching engine are in Equinix FR2 datacenter, so the best case is doing colocation there. Unfortunately this is the hottest datacenter in Frankfurt and i haven't find a high quality vendor which offers dedicated servers there. But there are a lot of other datacenter in town, which offering some interesting server rentals starting from 120€/Month. It's quite nice and i'm grabbing the ping and traceroute results from each vendor to get an idea from their connection to the FR2 datacenter. Current best offer are 1.5-2ms with 4-5 hops to Eurex - really nice. But the standard deviation of the ping times are not that good. With my old setup from a server in Paris i got 20-50 times lower standard deviations. It's quite clear, because FRA datacenter are optimized for highest throughput and high bandwidth.

My question to SC is: Because you are hosting your server at Eurex already, is there a plan that you will sell dedicated server too? You can own a full rack and sell/rent 1U single server to your customer. All self managed. If you use a public vendor - which one?

My general question to Users: Do you already use colocation or dedicated server rental at a datacenter in Frankfurt? How is the connectivity?

Regards
Marco
