Iress leverages Equinix to expand footprint
Australian-based specialist financial services technology provider Iress has picked up a key international opportunity.
US company Equinix, which describes itself as a provider of global data centre services, announced this week that Iress had leveraged its Platform Equinix to extend availability of its market data, access, trading and wealth solutions services throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
It said the deployments in Equinix International Business Exchange data centres in Asia and Europe represented an important milestone in the company's global business expansion and would enable Iress to capitalise on growth opportunities for financial services in some of the world's most dynamic economies.
The announcement said that by leveraging Equinix's ecosystem, Iress could build service delivery environments that were less complex, more cost-efficient and higher performing.
