Integral, a technology provider in the forex trading industry, announced today (Tuesday) that it has tripled the size of its presence in Singapore’s Equinix SG1 data facility following a significant increase in transaction volume and system load.
Trading Demand Surging in the APAC
According to Integral, regional trading demand has soared, with the company now processing over one million tickets daily at Equinix SG1. Notably, the SG1 data centre serves Integral’s clients across the Asia Pacific.
The tech provider highlighted that it had inked numerous client partnerships in the past year in the Asia Pacific, which was another key reason behind the increase in the size of its regional infrastructure.
The expansion will allow the company to manage any increase in transaction volume without any decline in speed or performance.
“For over three decades, Integral has remained resolute in its support of the growing institutional and retail trading landscape across APAC, increasing our established customer base and strengthening the local liquidity ecosystem,” said Harpal Sandhu, CEO of Integral.
“Singapore has been a key market for accelerating our regional presence, and the expansion of our SG1 data facility represents our commitment to ensuring our clients have access to the most sophisticated and agile cloud-based infrastructure possible.”

Apart from the increased size, the technology provider is also using Equinix’s software-defined interconnection, Equinix Fabric, to establish private and direct connections to cloud service providers.
Apart from the SG1 data centre, Integral also operates infrastructure within Equinix data centres in New York (NY4), Tokyo (TY4), and London (LD3).
“This growth not only reflects Integral’s commitment to meeting the rising demand in the financial markets but also underscores the trust it places in Equinix as a strategic partner,” said Equinix Singapore’s Managing Director, Yee May Leong, while highlighting Integral’s expansion.
Integral’s Expansion Beyond Forex
Established in 1993, Integral primarily provides cloud-based SaaS FX workflow solutions and targets a broad range of buy-side forex market participants, including banks, brokers, asset managers, and hedge funds.
Although the company made its name in the forex trading industry, it entered the crypto space directly in 2023 with the launch of Integral Digital, a trading and client distribution platform that supports cryptocurrencies and fiat-backed stablecoins. It developed the platform by bringing Mint Exchange, an institutional crypto exchange, on board as a partner.
Last year, Integral also launched a stablecoin-based crypto prime broker, where trading and settlements are done on-chain.
