Overview

The BT Radianz Cloud provides connectivity to the global financial services community, offering a content- and application-neutral platform optimized for the time-critical demands of the capital markets. These capabilities along with the scale of its member community are integral to its appeal to the sell side.

BT Radianz operates a multi-cloudmanaged services model, offering a management overlay for customers accessing both traditional private cloud services and public hyperscalers (clouds), including AWS, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure, with which BT Group has partnership agreements. This enables customers to better manage their cloud environments and helps ensure operational efficiency, as well as addressing security and compliance concerns.

Over the past 12 months, BT Radianz has added 23 new providers and 88 new apps to the BT Radianz Cloud.

It has also expanded its coverage across the Middle East to include market data services from the Saudi Stock Exchange. This reflects a growth in trading volumes on the exchange and interest in simpler, more cost-effective connectivity solutions from the UK and Europe.
