Chicago, IL (350 Cermak)

Chicago 350 East Cermak Data Center

One of the largest and most connected data centers in North America, 350 East Cermak is a carrier hotel serving the financial and content networks of the central United States.

Our ORD10 presence complements our Netrality Chicago footprint with direct access to the building’s dense meet-me room, giving clients diverse fiber routing across the Midwest.

Trading connectivity at 350 East Cermak

CME Group matches in Aurora, west of the city, and the brokers’ gateways sit there and in this building. Our servers downtown reach ORD10 over dark fiber and pick up most of our local connectivity in its meet-me room, so traffic leaving Chicago has more than one way out.

Round trips to those gateways, measured from our Chicago facility over 100 samples each with no loss: 0.2 ms to Rithmic’s market-data gateway, under 1 ms to its order gateway, and about 3 ms to the CQG gateway that NinjaTrader Continuum and Tradovate orders route through. They are paths across our AS55285 network, not cross-connects taken inside this building. Serverside is not affiliated with or endorsed by NinjaTrader Group, Tradovate, Rithmic, CQG or CME Group; the names identify what we measured against.
