Begin with client geography.
Tell us which countries your clients connect from and where the trading platform or other required services currently run. That information helps frame the discussion about platform location and regional access points.
Assess the connection path.
Physical distance is only one factor. Routing, provider connectivity and the location of connected systems can all affect performance. The configuration discussion should identify the relevant connection paths and the checks needed before deployment.
Europe
Discuss client concentration and the location of your platform and connected services.
Americas
Review requirements across North and South America and any need for regional access.
Middle East & Africa
Identify the countries served and the connectivity requirements of your users.
Asia-Pacific
Consider platform routes and access planning across Asian and Pacific markets.
Confirm the actual deployment options.
These regions are a way to describe your clients. They are not a statement that a server is available in every country. Specific locations, available resources and the proposed network arrangement are confirmed during the configuration discussion.
