What information is available regarding hosting and colocation through Lime?

  • 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. 
  • 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 servers offer a simple, less complex option to experiencing 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.
