SIX has chosen Network-as-a-Service company Megaport to provide its customers with private access to its data services, via any major public cloud provider.
As part of the mandate, Megaport will offer SIX customers secure and rapid connectivity to its suite of data services via the cloud or physical data centres.
The expanded connectivity offering, known as SIX Connect, will increase the connectivity options available for users from any public cloud environment.
SIX will offer private cloud access to all customers, irrespective of cloud provider preference, via AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and Oracle Cloud, among others.
SIX Connect will be available to more than 100 cloud regions as well as hundreds of data centers across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
Commenting on the launch, Henk D’Hoore, global head of product development, financial information at SIX, says: “This represents a leap forward, not just for SIX but for the entire financial community we serve. Customers continue to explore and adopt cloud to accelerate development cycles and optimise workflows.
“They prefer to partner with an information provider who can offer seamless and instant access to financial information, irrespective of their choice of cloud provider or region. SIX Connect opens the gate for new users, who gain quick access to SIX data services via all the major cloud providers.”
Mylene Dupaya, head of marketing and product at Megaport, comments: “We’re excited to be announcing our partnership with SIX for the launch of SIX Connect, which will give customers access to Megaport’s global private network backbone and to expand their connectivity options.”
