Accelerating Financial Trading

Read the Financial and Forex Trading Blog

Time is money and in the Financial Services industry, milliseconds matter.  A fraction of a second can mean the difference between a successful or failed financial transaction.  Whether you are serving consumers or businesses, your customers have high expectations of your online services. For Forex and retail trading platforms based in North America and Europe to win over retail investors in emerging markets, they must ensure reliable high‐performance when sending and receiving data such as prices, orders, and reference data across networks which they do not control. This places an extreme burden on IT leaders and Global Forex executives. They are tasked with finding ways to  minimize latency over the middle mile of the public Internet to provide robust, high‐speed trading capabilities around the world.Failure to meet these demands leads to site abandonment, higher costs to serve customers, and direct loss of money.

“We needed a faster, more reliable way to process financial transactions in China. After much research and evaluations, CDNetworks was the only solution to meet our needs. They have their own infrastructure in China, dynamic acceleration technology, and are experts in both China regulations and the China Internet.”
