CLOUD PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

Many firms want to realise the benefits of cloud as soon as possible, however, the capital markets are built on complex and legacy technologies. There are many examples of where migrations to the cloud have faltered, increasing outages and latency. Expertise in both the cloud and traditional technologies is vital when transforming to the cloud. CJC will get you to the cloud safely.

CJC collaborates with clients to ensure the cloud transformation is seamless and utilises the best available capabilities.  CJC's cloud services design and architects the cloud environments and package the required software components into the best cloud products.

MANAGED CLOUD SERVICES

CJC provide management and support for the client's cloud environments.  Using the same methodologies as our award-winning technical managed services, clients often leverage CJC to manage their cloud-based infrastructure and applications.

CLOUD IT SECURITY

The financial services have clear regulation and demand on how infrastructure should be managed and secured – all of which has to be audited against. These are some of the most consuming aspects of system management.

CJC also manages the IT security elements of a cloud-based service.   CJC ensures from day 1 the service is encrypted, zero-trust, utilising the best available security tooling.  Systems are compliant and auditable.

CLOUD TOOLS

CJC first built its cloud tools platform in 2017, a powerful application which provides orchestration and control from packaging, through deployment to running all activities required to fulfil ongoing service requests. This streamlines migration and projects by weeks, if not months, for complex software deployment and workloads.

CLOUD ENABLEMENT

To successfully migrate firms to the cloud, you must be an expert in the cloud. The cloud provides an array of products and tooling for industries that leverages real-time data. CJC provide expertise in:

• - Google Pub Sub+
• - Big Query.
• - Kubernetes.
• - Azure AKS, Kafka.
• - Amazon SQS.
• - AWS Transit Gateway.

CLOUD-FIRST, CLOUD ACCREDITED

CJC has a detailed cloud-first policy that leverages Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as our default partner. CJC are GCP Service Partners, who are trained and accredited as Site Reliability Engineers (SRE). CJC also collaborates with AWS and Azure.

CJC provides impartial advice on whether the cloud is best suited for your needs. Our consultants will not recommend the cloud should it create multicast, latency or fairness issues.

DACS AS A SERVICE

The LSEG Refinitiv Data Access Control Server (DACS) is a critical element of market data management. DACS provides entitlement and control around market data, alongside reporting to its users, vendors and exchanges on costs and usage.

Many CJC clients benefit from our hosted DACS cloud service, especially those who require the system to permission data to 3rd parties such as execution, order management providers and inventory management systems.
