Why Financial Markets and Payments Should Care About Beeks’s Proximity Cloud®
-
Accelerated Time to Market
Rapid deployment of trading environments is crucial for capitalising on market opportunities. Proximity Cloud® enables instant deployment, allowing firms to quickly enter new markets or launch new strategies without the delays associated with traditional infrastructure setup.
-
Streamlined Infrastructure Management
Managing complex IT infrastructure can drain resources and divert focus from core trading activities. With Proximity Cloud®, financial firms gain centralised control over their servers, reducing the complexity of infrastructure management and freeing up time to focus on trading strategies and execution.
-
Enhanced Operational Monitoring
Maintaining the performance and reliability of your infrastructure is critical to smooth trading operations. Proximity Cloud® offers detailed analytics to monitor network performance and server health, enabling proactive management and quick resolution of any potential issues before they impact trading.
-
Continuous Operational Uptime
Downtime can lead to missed trading opportunities and significant financial losses. Proximity Cloud® is monitored 24/7 by Beeks’s Network Operations Centre, ensuring continuous uptime and operational resilience, so your trading platforms are always available when you need them.
-
Cost-Effective Expansion with Public Cloud Integration
Scaling operations while controlling costs is a key concern for financial firms. Unlike public cloud providers, which often charge egress fees when moving data out of their environment, Proximity Cloud® does not impose these fees for data transferred in or out of its environment. This allows financial firms to scale their operations and integrate with public cloud providers without the added expense of data tax, ensuring a more predictable and cost-effective expansion strategy.
