Key Terms

colocation, interconnection

2 terms

colocation technical

"data center, colocation, and interconnection solutions"

Colocation is the practice of placing a trader’s computer servers inside or next to an exchange’s data center so their orders travel the shortest possible distance to the exchange’s computers. For investors this matters because even tiny gains in speed can mean better trade prices or reduced slippage—like being first in line at a checkout—so firms that colocate can gain steady, measurable advantages or incur extra costs that affect returns.

interconnection technical

"data center, colocation, and interconnection solutions"

Interconnection is the physical or contractual linking of two or more networks, systems, or infrastructures—such as power grids, telecom networks, or data centers—so they can exchange energy, data or services. For investors it matters because better interconnection can lower costs, increase reliability and open new markets, much like building bridges between islands that let people and goods move more efficiently and boost trade and value.
