Waters Rankings 2013: Best Cloud-based Service Provider — BT
The BT Radianz Cloud is not a product per se, but rather a collection of services including: BT Radianz Ultra for low-latency connectivity to market data, trade execution, and trading partners across a number of global financial centers; BT Radianz Proximity for high-performance connectivity with fully managed hosting facilities; BT Radianz Venue Interconnect for low-latency access to trading venues; BT Radianz Messaging for secure post-trade message delivery; and BT Unified Trading, an offering that integrates traders’ voice communications with their data and applications, and in the process ensures that buy-side and sell-side institutions can reach their clients and counterparties over a single solution for voice, electronic, and hybrid trading.
Since the beginning of 2012, BT Radianz Cloud has made nearly 2,500 new connections and added in excess of 150 new applications.
