Catering for a fast-moving, real-time market, we deliver solutions from our fully owned infrastructure in a secure, financial-grade environment. Our solutions are hosted at Equinix LD4 — the industry standard for financial applications — providing highly scalable infrastructure and total resilience.
4X Solutions prides itself on full in-house capability for all technical and development requirements on a truly global scale, as well as a highly innovative approach to developing and delivering technology solutions tailored to customers' needs. Trusted by IC Markets and leading global brokers, we have never had a single security breach in our history.
We understand that without a solid foundation, it is impossible to run financial-grade services or applications. This is why the entire infrastructure has been built around the combination of best-of-breed technology and world-class data centre facilities.
Equinix LD4 is one of over 5 buildings on-campus covering over 34,000 square meters of colocation space and interconnect capability with over 400 companies. Equinix has rapidly become the industry standard for data centre hosting of financial applications; as such it was a logical location for our servers. We have a large number of racks hosted in this facility with on-site spares and remote-hands to complete any maintenance tasks required.
Power is supplied by 2 diverse 40 Megawatt feeds from the National Grid with N+2 diesel generators as backup, ensuring uninterrupted power delivery at all times.
Cooling is run in an N+2 redundancy manner to ensure both temperature and humidity in technical space is maintained to industry-accepted standards and efficiency.
Fire suppression is in place across all areas with double-interlocked dry pipe pre-action systems, providing industry-leading fire protection.
Security is operated to a military standard with 24-hour manned security and intruder alarms in place, along with biometric identification required to access the data halls.
Without reliable connections to the Internet, the best equipment in the world is of no use. This is why we have invested heavily in ensuring that the network is always up.
We have a combination of 7 Tier 1 IP transit providers, one of which owns one of the largest financial-grade networks in the world. Through their networks, we have the quickest possible route to New York and low-latency access to the key trading venues throughout the world.
Due to the carrier-neutral element of LD4, network-to-network interconnects can be created to partners' systems. We currently have direct interconnects with a number of brokers who are marketing the service as an "Ultra Low Latency Trading Environment".
We protect the networks by Checkpoint firewall clusters — the market leader in security, boasting 100% coverage of the Fortune 100 and 90% of the Fortune 500. A combination of traditional firewalling, Intrusion Prevention and other techniques are used.
Due to the sensitive credit card data that is stored for billing purposes, we are regularly PCI DSS audited and scanned with results reported back to the card issuers. Security has been taken seriously from day one — there has not been a single instance of our networks being compromised.
