TORONTO, April 2, 2013 /CNW/ - TMX Datalinx™, TMX Group's information
services division, today welcomed ITG Canada Corp. (ITG) to its
recently completed co-location facility. ITG and its broker-neutral
crossing network, MATCH Now, have completed their technology migration
into the expanded facility.
"Being chosen by ITG to host their Canadian infrastructure highlights
our position as the premiere exchange co-location facility in Canada.
All of the clients in our co-location community will benefit from the

"Client demand for our co-location service remains strong and confirms
the value we offer. We are now over 70% subscribed."
TMX Group recently completed the fourth phase of its co-location
facility. The construction of this phase included making significant
infrastructure upgrades and expanding the facility's physical security.
"By co-locating our trading and enterprise infrastructure with TMX Group
we benefit from the high quality of their data centre, proximity to the
TMX Group marketplaces and easy access to the many clients who are also
present there," said Nick Thadaney, CEO of ITG Canada.

co-location, including: site access has been extended to 24 hours a
day, seven days per week; cross connection to a business Internet
service is now available; an expanded and streamlined Standard
Operating Procedures document has been published; and the number of
