Proximity Hosting
Proximity hosting is a specialized form of colocation where trading infrastructure is housed as close as possible to the exchange's matching engine. It is designed to minimize the physical distance of the data path, thereby reducing the time taken for signals to travel.
This is a common strategy for firms engaged in latency-sensitive arbitrage. Beyond physical proximity, it also involves optimizing the network hardware to ensure the fastest possible processing of incoming and outgoing data.
Proximity hosting is a standard requirement for firms operating in highly competitive electronic markets.
