Avelacom: financial connectivity, market data and hosting infrastructure

Avelacom supplies the infrastructure beneath institutional trading applications: network paths, market-data delivery, colocation and managed or dedicated equipment. Its financial-market offering is aimed at uses such as market making, arbitrage and liquidity aggregation. For a broker, that can mean connecting pricing and execution systems to venues or hosting them near relevant infrastructure. The service boundary is physical and network access, rather than a standard brokerage platform or a promise to supply trading liquidity.[1]

Financial Cloud is a network product, despite the broad meaning of the word cloud. Avelacom describes protected links, bandwidth starting at 2 Mbps and several counterparties reachable through one access port. That can reduce the number of separate physical connections needed for a multi-counterparty setup. It does not establish that virtual machines, storage or every counterparty’s application are included. The destination services and their entitlements remain separate from the connecting network.[5]

The financial low-latency connectivity page offers dedicated rather than shared bandwidth across a 1 Mbps–100 Gbps range. It describes managed Layer 2/Layer 3 links, wavelengths and dark-fibre options, with fibre and radio used in its broader network. These are alternatives to be specified for a route, not a statement that every destination supports every capacity or transport type. Endpoints, path diversity, handoff and the chosen network service determine the integration.[2]

For public-cloud connectivity, Avelacom names AWS, Alibaba Cloud, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. Its Connecting Clouds service supports dedicated links between cloud, private infrastructure and on-premises systems, including multi-cloud designs. This can connect a broker’s colocated application with a cloud-hosted counterparty or data service. The cloud provider’s own compute, network-account permissions and charges are separate parts of that architecture; a network link does not automatically grant access to the destination application.[9]

The market-data page describes raw/native and normalized feeds and names exchanges including CME, Cboe, NYSE, LME, B3, HKEX, ASX and SET. That distinction affects application integration: a native feed preserves a venue’s format, while a normalized feed presents a transformed representation. The public list establishes marketed source coverage, not that every data level, redistribution use or user population is licensed within one connectivity charge.[6]

Avelacom’s public pages publish capacities, configurations and enquiry or trial routes, rather than a standard monetary tariff covering every financial-market service. Its About page says free trials are available for selected products. That wording should not be converted into a universal free period, automatic live-market entitlement or a specified cancellation right. The actual service, endpoints and trial conditions need to be agreed before a commercial comparison is meaningful.[10]

The dedicated-infrastructure range also includes Virtual PoP: a prepared infrastructure presence with onsite or remote support packages. Avelacom describes both 24/7 and 8/5 options for that service. Consequently, comparing two offers requires matching what is operated, who owns the equipment and the included support window. A fully managed server arrangement and a rack containing the customer’s own equipment create different responsibilities even when they occupy the same data centre.[8]

Managed hosting is presented as scalable and movable between data centres, with remote access through local internet connectivity and support for specialist low-latency hardware. Avelacom’s advertised short-term options can support a proof of concept or market entry. The public description does not itself set a universal provisioning deadline or migration cutover procedure. The relevant implementation specification needs to identify the hardware, network handoffs, access method and the customer applications that must be transferred or installed.[3]

Colocation provides physical space close to trading infrastructure with fibre connections, smart hands and secure customer access advertised around the clock. It differs operationally from managed hosting because the customer can supply its own hardware. Equipment access, cabling changes and remote-hands tasks are therefore practical parts of the service scope. Availability of the facility and operation of the customer’s trading application should not be treated as the same responsibility.[4]

The Deribit-specific offer describes private VLAN configuration and global WAN connectivity, with data-centre-to-data-centre, cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-data-centre options. It supports single-venue and multi-venue designs, dedicated servers and custom hardware procurement. Avelacom explicitly identifies itself there as a third-party infrastructure provider. Connecting this infrastructure to an exchange environment does not transfer responsibility for the customer’s strategy, account eligibility or order logic to the network provider.[13]

The CME Group vendor listing identifies Avelacom as a managed service provider and states that 24/7 support is included in its service terms. Its listed data-centre locations include CME’s Aurora facility, Chicago, Carteret, Secaucus, Slough, Singapore and Tokyo. These are useful access points for evaluating an institutional footprint. The directory does not publish the customer’s incident-severity definitions, credit calculation or restoration commitment.[14]

Avelacom’s exchange-data and order-entry infrastructure is one layer of market access. The source’s data agreement, the broker’s exchange or intermediary relationship and the rights attached to the destination application remain separate. In particular, a feed connection does not by itself establish permission to redistribute prices, display data to every client or use all levels of an exchange feed. The inspected product page does not publish those individual entitlement terms.[6]

The privacy policy updated on 1 September 2026 applies to website and inquiry information. It generally retains inquiry records for 24 months after the last contact, with exceptions for an ongoing relationship, continuing business need or legal requirements. It is not a production trading-data retention or deletion schedule. A hosting customer’s disk handling, packet retention and end-of-service data return therefore cannot be inferred from that website policy.[12]

The privacy policy names Avelacom HK Limited as the website operator and identifies regional affiliates. This establishes the operator for that policy’s scope; it does not identify the supplier on every regional network or hosting contract. The published contact network includes offices in the Americas, Europe and Asia, and the appropriate service entity should be recorded in the customer’s agreement.[12]

Avelacom describes itself as designing and operating network infrastructure and serving financial markets alongside other enterprise, media and telecom uses. Its About page identifies London–Tokyo connectivity in its 2013 history. For brokerage procurement, its network ownership and operational role are more relevant than treating it as a software vendor with one uniform platform licence. The financial-market services covered here are one part of that wider infrastructure business.[10]

On 27 January 2026, Avelacom announced an expansion into Argentina, including a Buenos Aires point of presence associated with BYMA infrastructure and routes reaching North America through paths to the east and west of the region. The announcement describes the network expansion and intended institutional access; it does not establish a particular broker’s completed installation or market membership.[16]

A separate 27 March 2026 announcement states that Avelacom deployed a physical point of presence at Equinix ST1 in Santiago, connecting to nuam’s infrastructure across Chile, Colombia and Peru. The stated scope includes real-time market data and order routing over redundant paths, with individual-market or combined access. This is a distinct deployment claim and complements the company’s Argentine and Brazilian footprint.[17]

A 25 June 2026 announcement gives unusually specific route information for the Shanghai Tonglian data centre. Avelacom says it completed optimisations connecting Shanghai with Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo. The figures below are explicitly round-trip delay claims, which makes their measurement basis clearer than an unqualified latency headline.[15]

These route claims do not measure an application’s full order lifecycle. Customer equipment, handoffs, protocol processing and the destination system can add time beyond the quoted network path. They are useful for identifying the particular route being marketed, while the service specification and acceptance measurement determine what applies to an actual deployment.[15]

These configurations appear on Avelacom’s TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026 infrastructure page, which also offers custom recommendation, procurement and deployment. The event dates were 7–8 October, before this profile’s check date. The specifications describe advertised hardware choices, not a public price list or proof that stock, clock speed and installation timing are identical at every location. A current order still needs to identify the exact server and deployment site.[18]
