Difficult to find a cabinet, local network trading lines closed, "near the exchange" data center rental prices soaring.

As the exchange closes the original local area network trading lines in its data center and standardizes the way trading quotes are connected to the wide area network, a "near-exchange" data center competition is quietly underway. "Currently around Jinqiao, a standard 4000-watt cabinet costs about 10,000 a month, which used to be around 7,000 a month. By March and April of this year, it had already been 'restricted for sale'," said a person engaged in the data center leasing business. It has been learned that, near the Shanghai Stock Exchange, it is "hard to find a cabinet," with prices having risen significantly compared to before. This statement has also been confirmed by several quantitative institutions. "Some rental prices have increased several times." A member of a quantitative private equity firm told reporters that although access to the exchange's data center is not allowed, being close to the exchange's data center still helps improve speed.
