IRESS looks for global growth with new partnership
IRESS Market Technology has selected global data centre provider Equinix in order to support its business expansion throughout and beyond the Asia-Pacific region.
As part of the global agreement, IRESS will gain access to Equinix International Business Exchange (IBX) data centres in Hong Kong, Singapore and London, allowing the technology provider to build service delivery capabilities that are less complex, more cost-efficient and higher performing.
According to Equinix, IRESS will also improve its time to market by having access to major stock and securities exchanges worldwide, as well as the ability to more efficiently network with customers and partners already inside the Equinix IBX.
"We have worked closely with Equinix since we first deployed in its IBX data centre in Toronto," IRESS chief executive Andrew Walsh said.
"Over the past two decades, we have grown solidly by expanding our presence to bring localised services to our customers."
