Last month, the Aquis Stock Exchange became the first recognised investment exchange (RIE) to run a cloud-based matching engine, having achieved a full migration.
Speaking to The TRADE at the time of the announcement, Ip, said: “We are pleased to be the first regulated exchange in a major jurisdiction to adopt pure cloud for the matching engine, but we fully expect to see other exchanges follow suit.
“The wealth of benefits provided by the cloud, including its scalable capacity, infrastructural resilience and cost efficiency savings make migration to the cloud a compelling alternative to traditional on-premise solutions.”
