The Asia Pacific Stock Exchange (APX) based in Sydney has chosen to deploy its new trading platform within Equinix’s SY1 datacentre.
The new platform will provides an alternative venue for mainland Chinese companies to list and trade.
“The deployment in Equinix’s Sydney data centre provides access to a larger electronic trading community,” APX COO, David Lawrence, said. “We are now in close proximity to key service providers, network operators and customers, which is critical to our business.”

APX will trade in shares issued by companies, units issued by trusts and other pooled investment products as well as fixed income instruments such as bonds. Equinix will help facilitate these transactions through providing an established business ecosystem of electronic trading participants and access to global networks in a secure environment.
