Colocation for Financial Services: Latency, Compliance, and Security

Every major bank, broker-dealer, exchange, and payment processor relies on colocation for trading infrastructure, core banking, and payment processing — because performance, connectivity, and compliance requirements cannot be met in public cloud alone.

Key Topics

• Why financial services firms use colocation: electronic trading, core banking, payment processing, insurance
• Latency requirements by use case: HFT (<1ms), algorithmic trading (1–5ms), core banking (50ms)
• PCI DSS zone requirements: physical access controls, CDE scoping, private cage requirements
• SOC 2 Type II: what it proves, what it doesn't, and additional certifications for financial services (SSAE-18, ISO 27001, SWIFT CSP)
• Carrier-neutral advantages: exchange connectivity, payment network cross-connects, IXP access
