Sucden Financial’s trading customers in Asia benefit from BSO’s highly stable routes

To meet Sucden Financial’s needs, BSO first assessed the company’s current connectivity to ensure it could design the best solution.

BSO and Sucden Financial agreed the company would benefit from better network diversity and implemented two diverse paths between London and Hong Kong and one diverse BSO terrestrial route for maximum stability. BSO’s “Hong Kong Gateway” runs at 172ms RTD, while the second route utilises subsea cables offering 225ms RTD. The international low-latency circuits tie into BSO’s London Metro network with hosting in Equinix HK1.

These new routes meet Sucden Financial’s objective of network uptime and enable the brokerage to confidently deliver client traffic between Hong Kong and London, while still providing stable access to STAR.

“BSO’s flexible approach provided us with an extremely solid combination of routes to meet – and exceed – our goals of stability. The team is constantly evaluating the routes as market conditions evolve and opportunities become available for further optimisation. We are confident we have the very best connectivity on the market,”

Since launching the solution, BSO has reduced latency to 170ms RTD between London and Hong Kong as part of BSO’s ongoing investment in network optimisation.

“It is crucial we have a network service partner that understands the Asian landscape and specifically the ever-changing dynamics of the Chinese market. We have been really impressed with BSO’s knowledge of the local market from day one and believe it was essential for developing the best solution for our needs.”

“Sucden Financial and BSO have a very strong working relationship. One of the best things is the excellent account management and general approach to communication that you don’t get from larger providers. I really value the ability to speak directly with our account manager, the CRO or even the CEO if I need to,” concluded Gavin Parker.
