PARTNER
THE CHALLENGE
Hentsu was looking for network services that could support its flexible and agile cloud-based applications and services. It needed network services that could be rapidly deployed with the security and quality to match the needs of the Financial Services industry.
Its client base of hedge fund managers needs guaranteed access to real-time data and order execution with strict Service Level Agreements and regulatory requirements. The Financial Services industry has little room for error.
At the same time, Financial Services have a lot to gain from moving applications and services to the cloud. They benefit from the flexibility to roll out new services rapidly, back up data off-premises, and scale to match growing demand.
Hentsu was challenged to find a smarter way to deliver its critical applications and services with a connectivity provider that understands the cloud. Traditional networking models didn’t match its vision for a truly flexible and agile solution for the Financial Services industry. Hentsu needed a scalable cloud solution that best fit both its own business ethos and its customers’ needs.
THE SOLUTION
Hentsu selected Infiny to give it immediate access to on-demand Ethernet spanning 170+ countries with guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) and Experience (QoE). It has primarily served customers in the US, UK and Asia. With Infiny’s global reach it can serve customers around the world with flexible connectivity that can be turned up via a self-serve model.
Infiny has been designed to support the needs of the cloud and deliver connectivity that mirrors the agility and simplicity of cloud-based services. Hentsu will use Infiny to deliver multiple trading connections from production trading environments in cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform directly into trading venues. Its customers will be able to add and adjust services in hours instead of weeks and truly benefit from the agility of cloud.
Infiny’s online portal can be accessed from any browser, anywhere in the world, giving Hentsu transparent and flexible billing as well as the ability to adjust services whenever and wherever they are needed. It provides a global cloud connectivity platform that makes managing connectivity simple.
”The Financial Services industry is extremely demanding in terms of application performance and reliability. Infiny is able to offer this superior level of performance while also delivering new flexibility and agility. It gives Hentsu a simple and powerful platform for connecting its customers and growing its business with a unique ‘cloud-first’ model.
