Santiago, August 2024. nuam, the entity resulting from the integration of the Lima, Santiago, and Colombia stock exchanges, announced today an agreement with Equinix, a global digital infrastructure company, aimed at implementing an integrated data center for the market across the three countries. This data center will robustly, securely, and interconnectively support the needs of the financial sector, where every millisecond counts in responding to market movements.
"This is a new step in our development project, where all issuers, intermediaries, and institutional and retail investors can access an integrated market that uses a common regional platform. Having the data centers, through an agreement with Equinix, is key to achieving our goal of delivering excellent service to our clients," emphasized Juan Pablo Córdoba, CEO of nuam.
With a presence on all continents, Equinix operates with the world's largest stock exchanges and boasts a vast ecosystem of financial sector companies. This enables the company to understand the needs of this sector closely and offer interconnection solutions that integrate market participants in a private, secure, and direct manner.
"Executing this project was important due to Equinix’s global interconnection capabilities, with its Equinix Fabric solution. By having a presence in Colombia, Peru, Chile, as well as Brazil and New York, Equinix enables direct point-to-point connections between its data centers, providing security, reliability, scalability, and low latency in data transmission, which is crucial for stock exchange operations," said Francisco Basoalto, Managing Director of Equinix Chile.
In this way, Nuam and Equinix will further expand the financial services ecosystem in Latin America, supported by Equinix’s world-class standards and regional and global presence.
