Re: London Interxion Data Centers

I am pretty sure it is a campus environment. In most cases you bring the long haul to one of three buildings and then 
run a campus cross connect to your trading server which is in the same building and hopefully very close to the trading 
engine server (these folks are fighting to reduce latency by nanoseconds).

So evading Colt I believe quite feasible. 🙂

My understanding is that there are three London Interxion data centers (I thought Equinix was the Borg and had 
assimilated pretty everything at this point).

Trying to get the address where the facility where the London Metal Exchange houses its trading engine.

Aren't they (LME) in Savvis, though?

That was certainly true in 2003, at least:

and this list seems to corroborate that:

Though, it looks like LME has strict limits on which networks they will
allow to connect into it:

and it looks like at the moment, Colt is the favoured provider for LMEnet:

Best of luck getting a toe in the door!    ^_^;;
