What makes BSO a market-leading cloud connectivity provider?

Cloud technology presents every business with the opportunity to optimise operations, cut costs and improve service delivery. In the financial services industry, cloud computing has enabled near real-time exchange that effortlessly increases profits and performance. But leveraging the cloud effectively takes expert knowledge and partnering with cloud connectivity providers can make all the difference to your success. This is crucial for sectors like crypto trading, which rely heavily on fast, reliable and sophisticated connectivity solutions.

We discuss the importance of partnering with experienced cloud connectivity providers like BSO to leverage cloud solutions effectively.

Why partnering with experienced cloud connectivity providers is important:

In industries like the financial markets, where mere milliseconds can impact outcomes, being able to monitor, access and fulfil trades instantaneously is a necessity, and so the need for robust connectivity infrastructure has gained momentum. As such, ensuring your cloud infrastructure is at the level it needs to be to meet the demands of specialised trading requirements means partnering with the right cloud connectivity providers is a top priority. Here are some things to consider when deciding on a connectivity partner.

Is low latency a guarantee?

With the speed at which trading happens, low latency is non-negotiable and cloud connectivity providers’ latency levels need to be dependable and consistent. Whether latency levels are deterministic is also important for ensuring critical workload performance is prioritised. A solution like BSO’s Crypto Connect ensures the lowest possible deterministic latencies between crypto exchanges while also delivering dedicated onramp connections to a range of cloud service providers.

What reach and availability can cloud connectivity providers offer?

While reaching your existing clients where they are is one consideration, preparing for future growth is another, and ensuring cloud connectivity providers can provide access to new markets is an important consideration. The reality is the more far-reaching the provider’s network, the better. BSO’s global network covers over 240 data centres across 33 countries, with over 40 active cloud onramps, making it an ideal cloud connectivity provider for businesses with data-critical needs and in fast-growing sectors like financial services.
