Travelex Group, the world’s leading foreign exchange (FX) specialist, is using A10 Networks’ Thunder Series Application Delivery Controllers to power online services and deliver access to mission critical applications across the globe.
“It was clear from the three week proof of concept project we ran with the A10 equipment, that the interface and core features matched our expectations, and the flexibility of both hardware and software versions met our deployment strategy,” says Terry Johnson, security and ecommerce specialist for Travelex. The A10 Networks appliances also “ticked all the boxes” in respect to critical PCI compliance and “…was up to the task in terms of performance,” Johnson added.
“In the financial sector, ‘time means money’. The faster and more reliably a transaction can be performed, the higher the probability of more significant gains. Managing the performance and service delivery of trading applications increasingly requires an intimate understanding of Financial Information eXchange (FIX) together with solutions that properly support this highly demanding environment. A10 Networks Thunder ADC’s FIX support offers low latency and low jitter characteristics that are ideal for financial institutions like Travelex,” concludes Glen Ogden, Regional Sales Director for the Middle East region at A10 Networks.
