Market data colocation in Equinix New Jersey and Chicago
Three tiers of colocation
Every tier runs on the same Mercury infrastructure and the same engineering culture.
Tier 1
Standard Servers
A range of predefined standard server sizes, ready to go, leased from algoseek. You install and run your own operating system and software. algoseek is responsible for hardware maintenance, network connectivity, and data feeds into the server.
Tier 2
Full Custom Colocation
Custom hardware, market data feeds, and software. algoseek builds the computer hardware and network infrastructure to your requirements, then runs its Mercury infrastructure on it for your custom feed. Vertically integrated projects built to whatever SLAs you require.
Tier 3
Bring Your Own Server
Ship your own servers. algoseek handles the physical installation, network connection, power, space, hardware and external support. You are responsible for operating system setup and software.
Every tier includes
Normalized feeds
CTA/UTP, OPRA, CME/CBOT/NYMEX/COMEX, CFE, CBOE Global Indices, OTC Markets
Raw exchange feeds available
Exchange raw multicast into cloud via Mercury TCP encapsulation
Custom feeds
VWAP, security status, aggregated bars, scanners, and other computed feeds in real time
Cross-connects
Direct physical connections to brokers, prime brokers, exchanges, and public clouds. 10G/40G/100G.
Private lines
Dedicated connections between algoseek facilities and your HQ, branch offices, or cloud environments
Cloud connectivity
AWS Direct Connect, Google Cloud, Azure, and other public clouds. Hybrid setups supported.
Same Mercury network, same engineering culture. Pick the tier that fits your hardware.

Tier 1 · Standard servers
Standard servers come in three levels
Leased from algoseek, racked in our own cage at Equinix, and cross-connected to Mercury by direct fiber. Pick the one that matches your workload.
Core
Research, backtesting, and single strategy trading.
Pro
Multiple strategies and heavier data workloads.
Max
Most latency sensitive work, large scale memory and compute.
Managed colocation services
You focus on trading. We run everything underneath it.
Most colocation providers hand you rack space and walk away. algoseek manages the full stack, with hands-on engineering from a founding team with 140+ years of combined experience.
24/7 Monitoring
In-house tools tracking servers, network, temperatures, fan speeds, SSD health, and electrical outputs. Anything drifting outside expected variance gets investigated before it becomes a problem.
Remote Hands
Installation, deployments, updates, and on-site inspections. All work follows the Saturday-only protocol: scripted, tested, logged, verified.
Support and Escalation
Support and escalation desk for infrastructure, networking, and data delivery issues. 24/7 monitoring is live; 24/7 support coverage is in progress.
Managed Security
Routine network vulnerability scans, intrusion detection and protection. Private dedicated fiber between data centers.
Colocation case studies
Built for the hardest problems in market data infrastructure
US Regulator
Custom OPRA NBBO calculated to the regulator’s own specification, holding up under volume spikes of 30TB per day uncompressed. No SLA failure to date.
Large Hedge Fund
Raw equity SIP and full multicast OPRA delivered into AWS, where multicast traffic is not natively supported. Fully redundant across New Jersey and Chicago, both data center and cloud side.
Bulge Bracket Bank
Intraday index pricing for the bank’s QIS desk and external calculation agents. A significant portion of the US capital markets depends on this pricing for portfolio valuation.
Quant Firm
Colocation for a low latency equity SIP feed with CME futures, on two standard servers running primary and secondary. The firm runs its algorithmic calculations on them and sends and receives orders to its broker-dealer.
Execution Algo Provider
Colocated to receive low latency US equity SIP, so its execution algos can react quickly to market changes and update their orders.
Two US regulators depend on this infrastructure for production market data calculations.
You talk to the engineers who built it, no sales layer, no hourly billing. One conversation, and we scope the solution around your requirements.
