Managed VPNs
Internet based Virtual Private Networks remain a popular choice for many buy-side firms and are expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. The flexibility of a VPN is unmatched. Whether the trading systems are co-located in a London office, a New York datacenter or on a island in the Caribbean, VPNs provide a secure and cost effective alternative to fixed network services. However, VPNs are not without their drawbacks. They can be tricky to configure, a headache to manage and experience QoS and latency issues that are not present in solutions with a high QoS such as Cloud Powered Connectivity or leased lines. Furthermore, Internet VPNs use public internet infrastructure, so there is no point-of-contact if a public router is experiencing issues that affects the QoS of your VPN.
Managed VPNs help alleviate these drawbacks through standard configurations compatible with a broad range of VPN hardware and software. QoS and latency issues are kept to a bare minimum as the use of highly available Global Cloud PoPs provide a localized gateway to the F-I-X platform. Service quality is dramatically increased as F-I-X shifts Managed VPN traffic onto high-quality, hyperscaled Cloud Powered Connectivity. Disaster Recovery and secondary gateways are supported too, improving service availability and decreasing operational risk to the VPN connected counterparty.
