London – Thomson Reuters today announced a major expansion of its hosting platform with a global initiative to provide high performance liquidity discovery and execution support. In collaboration with Savvis, Inc. (Nasdaq:SVVS), Thomson Reuters will launch a series of fully resilient, scalable, performance tuned data centers including New York, Chicago, London, Frankfurt, Tokyo, and Singapore.

This launch is part of a significant investment to support customers as they respond to the rapidly evolving market environment.
