CME co-Location Services

Discussion in 'Automated Trading' started by CPTrader, Oct 5, 2010.

  1. Savvis systems is preparing a quote for a co-located server this week for me. The cme group cabinets do not have a connection to my broker anyway, and it's not like I'm a trading group, so the latency would be another hassel to make compatible with e-signal multicharts, and that's not feasible.

    Also, looking to host websites in addition to trading on it. BATS uses Savvis by the way, in New Jersey.

  2. I moved over from cicero in feb. I still havent set foot in the place but from what I hear it is amazing. Been meaning to get over there and take a tour of it. The rack prices are insane considering it's probably only 25% full at this point (disclaimer, that is complete speculation)

    Rithmic and EOTPRO Offer Virtual Private Servers at the CME Data Center In Aurora

    As many of you may know, Rithmic and EOTPRO have been working together to offer affordable virtual private servers from the CME’s Aurora data center. In July we completed our trial offering successfully, and promptly licensed all available virtual private servers. Additional virtual private servers will become available in the very near future for $299 per month each. If you trade on the CME, NYMEX, CBOT or COMEX, or on any of the other exchanges accessible via Globex, our virtual private servers offer direct access to Rithmic’s R | Trade Execution™ Platform and latency to these exchanges that can only be surpassed by spending 10’s of thousands of dollars per month. To sign up for one of the virtual private servers or for more information please send e-mail to Candice White at candice@eotpro.com or call her at (312) 985-7773.

  4. Expensive. Just another way for cme to grub money. first it was emini, then seat price, now a monopoly on coloc closest to the exchange.

    Who do they think they are? It's not like they're the only exchange in the world.

Your response has been tremendous, we appreciate your support. Please contact Candice White at candice@eotpro.com or call her at (312) 985-7773 to lock in one of our remaining virtual private servers.

  6. Won't you keep adding servers until the demand starts to taper off?

    So, really, if this is a profitable business for you, there is no point in limiting the number of VPS's you sell.

    Correct. However, there is a lead time between server deployments so if you get placed out of server 2, it may be several weeks before server 3 comes online.

    The response for virtual private servers on Server 2 has been great and we thank you for your support. As of today Server 2 has only 3 virtual private servers left and it will be several weeks before Server 3 comes on line. Your feedback indicated that more memory is desired so we will soon be doubling the RAM at no extra charge. Each vps should be able to use more than 3GB RAM on average.
