Recorded Webinar: Adding cloud to your high performance trading infrastructure

13 September 2022

Adding cloud to high performance trading infrastructure offers the benefits of scalability, faster development, and lower capex costs – but can it meet required speeds of data delivery, does it limit the extent of available data, and how can low-latency data be sourced in the cloud? Still more, is it feasible to run a complete low-latency trading system in the cloud?

This webinar will answer these questions and more, covering everything from the decision to add cloud to high performance trading infrastructure to the drivers of change, the challenges of implementation, and using cloud to source and deliver low-latency market data. It will also provide guidance on how, where and when to add cloud, and review the potential of cloud to provide competitive advantage in high performance trading.
