Trading hub boosted by the arrival of algorithmic connectivity service
London, 6 July 2010 – Interoute, owner and operator of Europe’s largest next-generation network, has increased its UK footprint with direct connectivity to Equinix’s LD4 International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centre located on the outskirts of London. Financial institutions can now utilise Interoute’s Fast Trade service to connect to both the major and emerging Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTFs) and trading venues located within the Equinix IBX data centre and other key financial exchanges throughout Europe.
As electronic trading grows, new MTFs have emerged to address the specialised needs of high frequency algorithmic trading. Equinix’s LD4 IBX network-neutral data centre has become a key UK location for these execution venues and is also home to a critical mass of buy and sell side firms, market data and technology providers. This diversity provides firms with maximum choice over which of their peers to partner with and also enables participants to quickly establish operational relationships with one another for the development of new opportunities, latency reduction and to decrease a firm’s time to market.
Financial institutions located in the Equinix LD4 IBX data centre now have the choice to use Interoute’s Fast Trade service to quickly connect to numerous exchanges across Europe with guaranteed low latency and stringent Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Interoute’s growing pan-European network offers extensive levels of connectivity to the leading MTFs.
“We are already connected to 11 of Equinix’s IBX data centres in Europe, as well as many other key facilities. With our on-net presence in 100 cities, we are working to directly connect to as many leading and emerging exchanges as possible,” said Lee Myall, UK Regional Director at Interoute. “The increase of algorithmic trading across Europe has been huge and we are matching demand from financial institutions looking to trade across Europe competitively.”
Interoute is seeing increasing demand from financial firms for direct, high availability bandwidth into Equinix‘s LD4 IBX data centre. By connecting through Interoute’s Fast Trade, organisations are able to benefit from Interoute’s premium SLAs. The bandwidth allocated via the Fast Trade product is entirely dedicated to the customer’s use and thus maintains consistent low latency. Before it’s delivered, each Fast Trade route is tested for its exact round trip delay, to the nearest 100 microseconds, which is then guaranteed in the SLA for that specific service. Financial firms are provided a predictable high quality, ultra low latency service. Furthermore, should the service be unable to meet the SLA’s guaranteed round trip delay the customer is free to cancel the service without any additional charges.

“The cancer journey is a bizarre one,” he said. Mr Mackinnon said he wanted to use the book to bring the CyberKnife device to Australia – but after years of banging his head against the Government's brick wall he was going for a more direct method.
If he could sell enough copies, he wanted to use the money raised by the book to buy a CyberKnife device and donate it to a hospital.
“As the Government refuses to act, it is left to the general public, again, to assist those in need,” he said.
GoGrid Deploys Into Equinix to Meet Customer Demands
San Francisco, CA (Vocus/PRWEB ) June 30, 2010 -- GoGrid, a leading Cloud Infrastructure and Hybrid Hosting Provider, announced today the opening of a new GoGrid data center in Ashburn, Virginia. GoGrid has chosen Equinix, Inc (Nasdaq: EQIX), a leading provider of global data center services as its data center partner as it continues to expand operations.
"We’re pleased to announce that GoGrid cloud computing services are now available from within our Ashburn, Virginia campus," said Vince DiMemmo, general manager of Cloud and IT Services at Equinix. "Infrastructure on-demand is something our customers expect to be able to buy as they architect and deploy their Web and IT applications with us, and we’re pleased to add GoGrid as a cloud computing partner supplier."
The new GoGrid facility is a comprehensive end-to-end hosting environment solution, complete with state-of-the-art environmental controls, power and security systems, and access to more than 165 network suppliers.

'We continued to experience strong growth within the Asia-Pacific region even during the global recession in 2009, and more so this year,' Mr Lee says. 'In fact, last year we opened a second DC in both Singapore and Sydney, and expanded our Hong Kong DC as well. This year the boom is back and we should see a strong surge in enterprise data. Much of that data would need to sit in DCs.'
In 2008, Singapore had a total of about 170,000 sq m of DC capacity, up 15 per cent over 2007. Not much capacity was added in 2009 due to the recession in 2008. But in 2010, demand may outstrip supply by up to 20 per cent, according to industry sources. Apart from Equinix, there are a slew of DC players such as SingTel, NCS, Tata Communications, ST Engineering and Fujitsu Asia.
..
According to industry analysts, the demand for DC space significantly outpaces supply in the Asia-Pacific, including Japan (APJ) region, with 50 per cent of the demand being driven by government initiatives, and the rest by Internet media, telecom and IT companies.
'Demand for DC hosting currently exceeds supply,' research house Frost & Sullivan's analyst Wu Chengyu says. 'In fact, over 80 per cent of the major DCs in the Asia-Pacific are running at close to 90 per cent capacity, and space is at a premium.'
In 2009, the market for DC services in the APJ region was about US$8 billion. That's set to cross US$10.6 billion by 2011.

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 10, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
MAKO Surgical Corp. (Nasdaq:MAKO) announced that its RIO® Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic System has received a 2010 Gold Medical Design Excellence Award. RIO® is used to perform MAKOplasty® partial knee resurfacing, a treatment option for patients with early to mid-stage osteoarthritis of the knee.
"It is an honor to receive this recognition," said Dr. Maurice R. Ferré, President and Chief Executive Officer of MAKO. "RIO®, which was released last year, represents an important expansion to the previous generation of our robotic arm surgical system, incorporating enhancements such as improved dexterity and a more ergonomic configuration. Additionally, the RIO® is an enabling platform for current and future applications."
The 2010 Medical Design Excellence Award winners were honored at a presentation ceremony on Wednesday, June 9, 2010 in New York City's Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, in conjunction with the Medical Design & Manufacturing East Conference and Exposition (www.MDMEast.com).
The Medical Design Excellence Awards competition (www.MDEAwards.com) is the only awards program that exclusively recognizes contributions and advances in the design of medical products. Entries are evaluated on the basis of their design and engineering features, including innovative use of materials, user-related functions that improve healthcare delivery and change traditional medical attitudes or practices, features that provide enhanced benefits to the patient, and the ability of the product development team to overcome design and engineering challenges so that the product meets its clinical objectives.
A comprehensive review of the entries was performed by an impartial, multidisciplinary panel of third-party jurors with expertise in biomedical engineering, human factors, industrial design, medicine, and diagnostics.
To enhance the level of physical feedback, designers can also incorporate haptics (touch feedback), also known as “rumble feedback,” “tactile feedback,” and “vibrotactile feedback.” Haptics solutions enhance user feedback to touch input by associating a tactile effect, achieved through an actuator such as a motor, to a particular touch or gesture. Today there are improved haptics solutions, such as Immersion’s TouchSense® technology, that provides a wide library of haptic effects, making it easy for designers to integrate. Imagine subtle exertion when you touch a button icon or scrolling with wheel-like rotation effects can make an interface both compelling and easy to use.
Software design around capacitive touchscreens is more art than science and simplicity is the name of the game. Since touchscreens are complex control systems, the challenge is how to make device interaction intuitive and obvious with clean and elegant design.
