Cloud9 Technologies now hosted on AWS as part of Amazon Partner Network

Presence on AWS ensures seamless deployment and optimal security of Cloud9’s cloud-based voice trading solution for global financial institutions

Cloud9 Technologies has joined the Amazon Partner Network to deliver institutional customers with greater flexibility and ease of deployment through its secure cloud-based voice trading solution hosted on AWS. 

By leveraging cloud infrastructure via AWS, the roll-out of Cloud9’s cloud-based voice trading solutions requires no technology lift from customers and minimal effort to enable additional capacity to support the customer’s business growth and flexible business requirements.   

Cloud9’s presence on AWS ensures greater scalability and resiliency than traditional voice trading turret solutions by providing physical and network resiliency due to AWS’ redundant availability zones and data centers, allowing Cloud9 to onboard customers without lengthy onsite work or an arduous deployment process.

AWS’ global presence helps Cloud9 meet data residency requirements to store metadata within certain geographic areas or countries, ensuring that Cloud9 voice trading and collaboration tools are accessible anywhere the customer allows their users to log in and where an internet connection is available.

Cloud9’s secure, cloud-based voice platform delivers global users all of the necessary security and compliance controls that financial institutions require both within office settings, on the trading floor and in a distributed environment.
