Designed for capital markets operations and regulated trading environments _
"BSO designs connectivity for financial market infrastructure where performance and resilience are operational requirements. We support capital markets connectivity for use cases such as market data venue access, algorithmic trading and liquidity aggregation, with routes engineered for low latency and stable behaviour under load.
Across Europe, APAC, the Middle East, and the Americas, we help firms connect trading infrastructure to major venues and interconnection ecosystems with a compliance-ready approach, geographic diversity, and cross-border network design options.
Where proximity matters, we also support specialised colocation for financial markets, including deployments close to exchange infrastructure in hubs such as New York, Chicago, and Toronto."
INFRASTRUCTURE
Built for resilience and continuity _
BSO connects trading infrastructure to exchanges, market data venues and cloud platforms with designs built for regulated financial services. That means engineered paths, documented resilience, and the ability to support hybrid and multi-cloud connectivity without losing control of performance or routing.
We work with infrastructure and network teams to design market connectivity that fits how financial operations actually run: always-on, latency-sensitive, and subject to governance requirements. This includes hybrid infrastructure for financial markets, where parts of the stack remain in data centres while workloads move to the cloud for analytics, risk, and regional scale.

CASE STUDIES
Customer success is at the heart of our business_
Sucden Financial needed a network provider that could navigate the complex Asian telecoms landscape and provide low latency trading circuits with high stability.
Connectivity for modern financial institutions _
Banks and digital banks
Banks use connectivity to support trading systems, market data access, digital banking platforms and internal operations across regions. Infrastructure must balance performance with resilience, regulatory alignment and long-term flexibility as workloads move between on-premise and cloud environments.
Financial platforms and market infrastructure providers
Exchanges, venues and financial platforms require stable, scalable connectivity to support participants globally. This includes interconnection between data centres, cloud environments and regional markets, designed to operate continuously under variable load.
Regulated financial operations
In regulated environments, connectivity underpins business continuity, operational resilience and risk management. Network architecture decisions affect concentration risk, geographic exposure and the ability to respond to failures without disrupting core services.

Financial markets connectivity FAQs
What does “financial markets connectivity” actually cover?
Financial markets connectivity refers to the network infrastructure that links trading systems, market data venues, cloud platforms and operational environments. It goes beyond basic internet access, focusing on predictable performance, resilience and control across regions where financial workloads run.

How do banks and financial firms use cloud alongside market connectivity?
Many financial institutions use cloud platforms for analytics, risk modelling, digital banking services and data processing, while keeping latency-sensitive systems closer to exchanges or market data venues. Connectivity must support both environments, enabling secure and stable data flows between cloud, data centres and trading infrastructure without relying on best-effort routing.

Is connectivity a risk and resilience issue for financial institutions?
Yes. Network design directly affects operational resilience, business continuity and concentration risk. Financial institutions need connectivity that avoids single points of failure through route diversity, geographic separation and planned failover, especially in always-on market environments.

How does connectivity support regulatory and compliance requirements?
Regulated financial firms require infrastructure that supports control, auditability and resilience. Connectivity architectures are often designed to align with regulatory expectations around operational resilience, data handling and business continuity, supported by monitoring and documented network design.
