Server Hosting and Colocation

Exchange-Proximate Infrastructure for Maximum Performance

Advantage Futures offers server hosting and colocation at secure, exchange-proximate data centers that put your trading systems as close to the exchange matching engines as possible. Our network infrastructure operates at less than 20% capacity during peak trading hours, ensuring consistent performance when it matters most.

With data centers at the CME Aurora facility and 350 E. Cermak, traders can choose the optimal location for their target markets. Our colocation services include everything from rack space and power to connectivity and ongoing support.
