Latency Matters
XConnect / Low-latency Connectivity
Establish Direct Fibre Connections with Cloud Providers, ISPs, Financial Institutions and Technology Providers
XConnect Benefits
The four pillars of NetShop's XConnect Service
Top Security
Direct physical fibre connections are, by nature, far more secure than any other standard connections routed over the public internet.
Ecosystem Direct Access
Connect to your preferred internet carriers, cloud providers, liquidity & financial services institutions and other technology providers that have presence within Equinix's global IBX Ecosystem.
Data Center Resilience
The XConnect service allows you to design and implement a truly redundancy infrastructure architecture in an affordable way since data traffic can be exchanged without consuming public bandwidth.
Network Stability
Exchanging data via public internet can cause high-latency and loss of packages. The XConnect service offers you a secure, low-latency tunnel to send/receive data with your desired Z-side partners.
How Cross-Connect Works
Imagine Company ABC a Forex Brokerage who has its trading platform servers within a data center. It frequently interacts with Company XYZ (Bridge Technology Provider), exchanging real-time transactional data for trading and price feed purposes.
Company XYZ also has its infrastructure hosted in the same data center. Although the two companies could share this data over the public Internet, a direct physical connection—known as a cross connect—provides a significantly better alternative. This private link, typically made using fiber, enables faster, more secure, and more reliable communication between the two environments.
NetShop's XConnect service delivers ultra-low latency performance, enterprise-grade security, and a fast, straightforward setup—making it the ideal choice for connectivity between NetShop's customers and cloud/network/service providers.

Testimonials
Read what Customers Say about XConnect
XConnect was introduced to our company in February 2025. Our trading platform servers are hosted in LD4, whereas the majority of our traders are in mainland China. Using NetShop's Cross-connect service, we bridged the gap and we now have direct connection between London and Mainland China. The stability has been solid since then and all our traders enjoy the lowest possible latency.
