Beeks Launches Analytics to Grow Portfolio Services

Beeks Financial Cloud today annouced that it has introduced Analytics as a Service to their growing portfolio of services, an exciting new network monitoring and trade analytics tool that uses Velocimetrics technology to provide financial clients with the ability to consume powerful wire-based analytics as a cloud hosted offering.

​Existing Beeks customers can now add the sophisticated network monitoring capabilities of Beeks Analytics as a Service to their existing deployments at LD4 or NY4 with just a single click in the Beeks self-service portal. 

In addition, the launch of the service also spreads the benefit of this reduced deployment time beyond the existing Beeks-hosted customer base. In an industry first for financial markets network monitoring, those who have their own separate hosting arrangements within the Equinix LD4 and NY4 campuses, will be able to monitor their systems using Beeks Analytics as a Service.

Matthew Cretney, Head of Product Management for Beeks, said, "We made the decision not to restrict the offering just to Beeks customers. We felt that it was important to offer a neutral monitoring offering in addition to our offering for Beeks customers. Beeks Analytics as a Service is securely hosted on dedicated hardware within Beeks Financial Cloud, at the same campuses as the infrastructure that clients will be monitoring. Clients gain the flexibility of cloud-based analytics without having to compromise on the location of their data."

Further, Gordon McArthur, Beeks CEO, commented“We feel there will be strong take-up for this product in the FX market. This is a market where customers need to manage connectivity to large numbers of different sources of liquidity. However, given the data centres where the service is live we also expect to see strong interest from other asset classes.”
