Avelacom’s commitment to helping sell-side firms develop a competitive advantage by using ultra-low latency IT infrastructure is recognized for third time, having won the same award in 2018, and 2021

Avelacom, the low latency connectivity, IT infrastructure and data solutions provider for global financial markets, has won the Waters Technology award for Best Infrastructure Provider to the Sell-Side.

The award recognizes Avelacom’s footprint expansion and latency optimisation across multiple trading venues. This directly enables Avelacom’s sell-side clients’ expansion in fast-growing markets in LATAM, APAC and MEA, as well as accessing crypto exchanges in clouds with a sub-millisecond accuracy and 99.9% network uptime.

The last two years have seen the crypto markets become increasingly institutionalized. Avelacom has helped sell-side firms to adapt to this new, dynamic, cloud-centric IT environment without compromising performance. Avelacom has allowed the use of latency sensitive strategies that have traditionally been used by sell-side firms, especially investment banks and prime brokers.

Aleksey Larichev, CEO of Avelacom, said: “We are particularly proud to win the Sell-Side Technology award this year. We work in a highly competitive market and with the most demanding clients in the financial industry. We are certain that we can contribute to further advancements in technology that will expand sell-side firms’ capabilities to gain a competitive advantage and make better trading decisions.”

Victor Anderson, Global Content Director of WatersTechnology, said: “Sell-side firms are constantly facing new challenges that mean they have to enhance their IT infrastructure to stay competitive,” said. “Avelacom has responded to those challenges by providing new opportunities for accessing fast-growing Latin American and Southeast Asian markets, as well as global crypto markets, with improved latency and operational redundancy.”
