Supporting the Growing Demand for Improved and Secure Access to High-Quality Real-Time Trading Data in the Cloud
Vela, a leading independent provider of data and execution technology for global multi-asset electronic trading, announced the deployment of its SuperFeed normalised market data feed within the Amazon Web Services (AWS) public cloud environment. This deployment allows clients to access SuperFeed directly from their own AWS deployments without the need for any additional physical infrastructure or cross connects.
Vela’s latest cloud expansion comes at a time when the financial industry’s adoption of virtual environments has significantly accelerated under pressure to improve agility, increase scalability and deliver cost efficiencies. The availability of SuperFeed directly within AWS adds to Vela’s growing ecosystem of cloud service options. Vela is committed to supporting all of the major cloud providers, as required by clients, and works closely across providers to ensure a platform-agnostic solution. Cloud deployments of SuperFeed are a natural evolution of Vela’s cloud offering, which already provides connectivity to client cloud environments from existing SuperFeed on-premise data centres via methods such as AWS Direct Connect.
