BSO enhances Crypto Connect offering for US exchanges

By Edlyn Cardoza

BSO, a global pioneering infrastructure and connectivity provider, has recently announced enhancements made to its Crypto Connect product to meet increasing demand in US-based crypto exchanges.

Crypto Connect offers both low latency cloud connectivity and cloud-to-cloud connectivity. With dedicated bandwidth, no reliance on routing hardware and private and secure trading routes – it’s the most comprehensive low latency crypto trading solution.

“Cryptocurrencies have established their place in the investment market after a decade of steady growth. With the emergence of specialised crypto trading firms and a growing interest amongst institutional investors, the need for low latency connectivity solutions in crypto is more crucial than ever,” said Michael Ourabah, CEO at BSO.

Institutional firms that engage in cryptocurrency trading cannot use the public internet due to security threats and unreliable performance issues. As crypto exchanges are hosted in the cloud and data centres, an effective solution needs to support data centre-to-data centre connectivity, data centre-to-cloud connectivity, and cloud to cloud connectivity while keeping low latencies top of mind.

“Over the last couple of months, we have witnessed more customer demand for low latency connectivity to US-based and global crypto exchanges, and BSO’s market leading technology and service continues to adapt and grow to meet market demand,” said Steve McConnell, Head of Americas at BSO.

Founded in 2004 and with a heritage serving the world’s largest financial institutions, BSO serves more than 600 data-intensive businesses across diverse markets such as financial services, technology, energy, e-commerce, media and more. The company owns and provides mission-critical infrastructure, including network connectivity, cloud solutions, managed services, and hosting, that are specific and dedicated to each customer served.

Its team of experts work closely with customers to create solutions that meet the detailed and specific needs of their business, providing the latency, resilience, and security they need regardless of location. BSO is headquartered in Ireland but has 11 offices worldwide, including London, New York, Paris, Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore.
