FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Trading International moves Co-location of its online forex platform to Consonus Technologies Data Center in Utah. Consonus Technologies' SAS 70 Type II Certification key deciding factor in move.
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH – xx March 2009 – Consonus Technologies today announced that Trading Intl. will move its online forex (foreign exchange) trading platform “ForeXecutor” to Consonus Technologies’ data center in Salt Lake City.
Trading Intl. opted to switch co-location from a competitive facility because of Consonus Technologies’ SAS 70 Type II certification. This widely recognized auditing standard for service organizations — published by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and administered by independent auditors such as Grant Thornton — signifies that a company’s description of its controls presents fairly the relevant aspects of the service organization's controls, whether the controls were suitably designed to achieve specified objectives, and whether the controls that were tested were operating with sufficient effectiveness to provide reasonable assurance that the control objectives were achieved.
By moving into Consonus’ newest data center in Utah — Presidential Data Center — Trading Intl. will benefit from state-of-the-art disaster recovery capabilities and the high level of security and uptime that a trading firm requires.
A national data center and managed services provider, Consonus serves its customers through three data center facilities in Utah and several others across the country including Colorado, Massachusetts, and Ohio.
“To ensure that we’re competitive, our ForeXecutor foreign exchange platform demands continual uptime and rigorous data security,” said Ryan Best, President of Trading Intl. “Consonus Technologies not only understands our needs, but has the credentials to satisfy them.”
“Trading Intl. required a secure, reliable location to host their mission-critical IT infrastructure,” said Bob McCarthy, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Consonus Technologies. “Our SAS 70 Type II certification proves that our data centers and IT capabilities can satisfy the intensive accessibility and data security demands of Trading Intl’s business.”
