Digital Realty announced the extension of its partnership with Options Technology, a leading capital markets services provider, making its suite of managed capital markets services available to its customers in Singapore via PlatformDIGITAL®. Through the partnership, customers will benefit from cost-effective, low-latency access to multi-asset trading environments, enabling next-generation trading methods such as algorithmic trading (AT) resulting in improved profitability and business performance. By deploying in Singapore on Digital Realty's global data centre platform PlatformDIGITAL®, the meeting place for companies and data to come together, Options Technology will extend its access to the company's global footprint of highly connected data centres and capitalize on the opportunity to interconnect with several highly connected data communities.

By leveraging this interconnection-rich environment, Options Technology can provide its 600+ customers and partners with an ultra-low latency environment, enabling financial institutions to take advantage of both short-term and long-term growth opportunities in a secure and compliant manner. Options Technology, a long-standing customer and partner of Digital Realty since 2009, is currently deployed with Digital Realty in several markets across Europe and North America. The extension of the partnership into Singapore marks another major deployment with Digital Realty and comes at a time of significant growth for the city.

According to the most recent Global Financial Centres Index, Singapore has overtaken Hong Kong to become Asia's top financial centre – the third in the world – led only by London and New York.
