TradeStation is an electronic trading platform that offers
state-of-the-art electronic order placement and execution and
enables clients to scan the markets and design, test, optimize,
monitor and automate their own custom equities, options, futures
and foreign exchange trading strategies.

“Low latency and reliable access to real-time market data is
paramount in ensuring that our clients can best leverage the
market-leading trading solutions we offer,” said Enrique Pizzi,
chief information officer for TradeStation. “Colocating in Savvis’
NJ2 data center complex in Weehawken, N.J., provides us a quality
solution to connect directly into a rich trading ecosystem of
exchanges and other electronic market centers. We’re also pleased
to have the opportunity in the future to leverage Savvis’ global
reach of data centers and network connectivity to expand into
additional markets in Europe and Asia, should we decide to do
so.”

A number of the world’s leading liquidity venues — including
traditional equities and derivatives exchanges, alternative trading
venues such as dark pools and crossing networks, foreign exchange
and fixed-income electronic communication networks — already trust
Savvis to host their trading systems and matching
infrastructure.

“We are extremely pleased and honored that TradeStation is
extending the existing successful relationship we have built up
over the course of the last seven years,” said Varghese Thomas,
global head of financial services for Savvis.
