Optimised communications to financial markets venues

Cost-efficient support for high performance trading solutions

Market participants of all types are increasingly converging on data centres in major financial centres. These venues facilitate trading activities but still demand complex and costly architectures. This is where BT Radianz comes in. It enables:

• connections to and between trading venues on an architecture that has been optimised for high speed data centre connectivity
• savings on major capital-intensive build-outs at a time when firms are under increasing pressure to meet regulatory requirements for capital adequacy
• generation of revenues by reaching members of the Radianz community who may not reside in a hosting venue
• rationalisation of the operational costs and complexity of managing and maintaining such platforms while working with a trusted partner with long term expertise
• support of new technologies such as Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV)
• access to hosting and cloud capabilities and skills that complement the network services.
