Nordic Co-Lo Services

Nasdaq provides customers with the opportunity to access liquidity of the Nordic marketplaces via a production gateway dedicated uniquely to the customer and avoid the potential impact of other members trading activity.

Customers subscribing to this service are granted exclusive use of a production gateway subject to the same service levels of any other production gateway.

The service is available for Genium INET OMnet and FIX and INET OUCH gateways.

Dedicated Gateways can be accessed both from Nasdaq Nordic Co-location Service Area and/or via external connections.

Co-location customers can enhance their business continuity plans by purchasing cabinets and power for a lower price at the Nasdaq Nordic Disaster Recovery (DR) site.

In the event of unavailability at our primary site or site fail-over, customers subscribing to this service can continue running their latency-critical business from cabinets located at the DR site and with the same service levels provided to the primary co-location site.

Contact us to learn more about co-lo at the DR site.

The Cabinet Reservation Program (CRP) gives co-location customers the ability to reserve cabinets and power at a reduced rate allowing customers to plan for future growth and reserve space as close to their existing cabinets as possible. Reservation options may have an open duration or an agreed expiry date.

MiFID II mandates clock synchronization at European exchanges and trading firms.

Nasdaq seeks to offer a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) service for its Nordic Co-Location customers at the Vasby datacenter to meet such requirements. Customers subscribing to the service will be using the same clock source as the Nasdaq trading systems. The service is utilizing the PTPv2 protocol to synchronize clocks to achieve nanosecond accuracy and can be used for:

• Time Synchronization
• Troubleshooting
• Compliance
• Fine Tuning Trading Algorithms
• Latency Calculations
• Precisions Trade Capture

Using GPS Common View Time Transfer, Nasdaq is continuously comparing its time representation with UTC(SP), as realized by RISE Research Institutes of Sweden. Repeated calibrations of Nasdaq's timing infrastructure assure UTC traceability and clients can use published reports to demonstrate their traceability to UTC.

The PTP service is available to order via the Co-Lo & Connectivity Console.
