Tradier Launches Cloud Brokerage In A Box on FinQloud, AWS

Running on Nasdaq OMX's FinQloud, Tradier's cloud brokerage solution could eliminate need for data center space for smaller financial providers.

Tradier, Inc., the cloud platform provider that is affiliated with Tradier Brokerage, Inc., has launched its cloud brokerage in a box solution on Nasdaq OMX FinQloud, which runs on Amazon Web Services.

Tradier's cloud-based brokerage platform provides a bundled trading platform for online banks and developers to create online and mobile trading experiences for their users. Tradier will use FinQloud's ecosystem of compute, network, storage and database solutions from AWS to build all aspects of its offering that include a set of API's, Web/Mobile Modules and secure services, according to a press release.

By working with FinQloud and AWS, Tradier could eliminate the need for smaller online banks and financial services providers to lease data center space and procure a substantial amount of technology infrastructure, claims Tradier. Tradier will reduce its product development lifecycle and time-to-market by leveraging FinQloud instead of deploying a traditional "procure-develop-deliver" model.
