Recorded Webinar: Approaches to migrating market data to the cloud to drive agility in trading operations

25 February 2021

Market data in the cloud is an attractive proposition in terms of reducing the cost of on premise servers and storage, and moving into a more agile and flexible data delivery environment. It is also well suited to working from home, the fall-back of many financial institutions during lockdowns caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

But there are caveats and challenges as cloud services cannot yet, and may never, meet the performance levels of firms receiving market data directly from a trading venue into a collocated server. Similarly, high-frequency trading firms with platforms requiring microsecond-level data delivery won’t be moving to the cloud any time soon.

The challenges for firms considering moving market data to the cloud include deciphering whether a mix of public and private cloud, or perhaps a hybrid solution best fits their needs. They must also fathom out what data types can be successfully migrated to a cloud or hybrid environment.

Listen to the webinar to find out about:

  • Approaches to moving market data to cloud successfully
  • The mix of cloud options available to meet your needs
  • Which types of market data are best suited to cloud delivery
  • Cloud technologies and tools supporting market data distribution
  • How to push market data delivery performance to the limit
