Exchange Colocation
Lime maintains a presence in all major US Exchange data centers Carteret/NY11 (NASDAQ family of Exchanges), Secaucus/NY4/5 (CBOE family of Exchanges), and Mahwah (NYSE family of Exchanges).Our low latency focused clients have opportunities to co-locate, host or use the Virtual Private Servers (VPS) sitting right next to the Exchange matching engine when trading. We’ve also built a latency-optimized network between co-locations using ultra low latency dark fibers and Arista Switches.
Cross Connects
Already set up hosting in an exchange data center? Lime can support via a 1 or 10 G connection in all three exchange data centers.Virtual Private Server (VPS)
Simple, less complex option to experience lower latency using our datacenter footprint. Gain access to all venues colocated in at least one data center through a single access point with dedicated network access.Experience co-location without investing in costly hardware and let Lime carve out space on one of our servers so you can sit right next to the Exchange matching engine.
Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Connect from your data center to ours via a secure, dedicated network connection that is a more secure way to connect to Lime versus a direct internet connection.This allows you to host your own machines in your own space, but benefit from Lime’s exchange set up. Our VPN offers all of our risk checks and order types.
