IntercontinentalExchange (ICE), one of the leading operators of regulated global futures exchanges, clearing houses and over-the-counter (OTC) markets, has signed a new agreement with AT&T* for the provisioning of hosting services delivered through AT&T’s internet data centers located around the world. The new agreement extends and expands ICE’s eight-year relationship with AT&T.

AT&T’s hosting services will support ICE’s mission-critical information and facilitate always-available access to its trading and clearing platform for customers. In addition, these services will allow ICE to replicate its data to support its reliability, disaster recovery and business continuity capabilities.
