LiquidPoint, ConvergEx's options business, has selected Equinix NY4 as its East Coast data center.

The new data center combined with LiquidPoint's Advanced Order Routing System (AORS) will enable low-latency order and algorithmic access to the International Securities Exchange (ISE) and the Chicago Board Options Exchange's new C2 Exchange and other key options and financial exchanges.

In a statement, Anthony Saliba, chief executive officer of ConvergEx's LiquidPoint, said "This direct connectivity will provide a significant advantage for our high-frequency trading customers who are desirous of ultra low latency. It is critical to our clients that LiquidPoint's AORS infrastructure remains on the cutting edge of high-volume, low latency order execution."

LiquidPoint customers will also be able to co-locate within its Equinix infrastructure to have direct access to LiquidPoint's Order Routing, Nth Exchange and market data application programming interfaces (APIs).
