A major high-frequency trading firm faced a critical challenge: it needed to deploy 500 kW to 1 MW of infrastructure rapidly in a data center environment that could support high-density air cooling immediately, with the potential to transition to liquid cooling in the future.

On top of this, the firm required ultra-low latency connections to its existing network points of presence (PoPs). Unfortunately, its current providers lacked the capacity and viable options for expansion, putting its growth and performance objectives at risk.

Vinco stepped in with a proactive approach, leveraging our extensive market knowledge and established partnerships to identify an ideal data center outside the client’s typical network of suppliers. The selected site not only provided minimal latency to the client’s key network PoPs but also offered scalable cooling solutions to accommodate both current and future infrastructure needs.

This strategic partnership ensured the firm had the flexibility to adapt as technology and business requirements evolved.

The client successfully secured a cost-effective, high-density environment with strategic proximity to key trading networks. This move enhanced execution speeds, reduced overall latency, and provided a clear pathway for future upgrades, ensuring the infrastructure could scale alongside the firm’s ambitions. By partnering with Vinco, the client realized substantial ROI through performance gains and operational cost savings, reinforcing its competitive edge in the high-frequency trading market.

The implementation of VincoWave allowed the client to increase their speeds by an  impressive 8x. This was achieved by utilizing optics they already had in stock, effectively  circumventing the need for a costly second dark fiber connection. This innovative  approach not only saved the firm substantial financial resources but also streamlined their  operations by making better use of existing assets.
