Beeks Financial Cloud Group PLC on Tuesday said it has made an investment into Zug, Switzerland-based Liquid-Markets-Solutions, providing access to high-performance, ultra-low-latency technology. Glasgow-based Beeks Financial Cloud is a cloud computing and connectivity provider for financial markets. The company said the small minority stake in the provider of high performance network technology allows it to exclusively deploy Liquid-Markets-Solutions’ landmark technology, UberNIC, for the managed financial services data centre market segment. UberNIC is a field-programmable gate array-based ethernet adapter, with Beeks Financial noting that an FPGA is a reconfigurable chip that allows an ethernet adapter to process data in hardware, ‘delivering unmatched ultra-low-latency capabilities.’ Beeks Financial Cloud noted that the sub-microsecond latency and reliability of LMS’s new architecture are crucial in latency sensitive trading environments. The partnership enables Beeks to integrate UberNIC’s technology into its Private and Exchange cloud offerings, it said, giving financial institutions ‘streamlined access’ through an integrated platform. Beeks Financial Cloud said the ‘strategic investment’ both advances its technological leadership and the appeal of its offerings, supporting with the delivery of greater execution speeds and predictability for its clients’ strategies. Shares in Beeks Financial Cloud were 0.5% lower at 215.88 pence on Tuesday afternoon in London. The financial terms of the investment were not disclosed. ‘This investment reflects our careful and deliberate approach to strengthening Beeks’ infrastructure offering for capital markets,’ said Beeks Financial Cloud Chief Executive Gordon McArthur. ‘Following rigorous testing, we are confident the FPGA-based technology is at the forefront of technological advancement in the industry, and our exclusive access within the financial services data centre market segment reinforces our position as a leading technology provider and is set to drive further growth opportunities,’ added McArthur.
