Solid ground under your platform.

Infrastructure & Cloud Architecture

A trading platform is only as reliable as the infrastructure beneath it. FastMT designs, hardens and optimizes that foundation — choosing the right mix of bare-metal, virtualization and cloud for your latency, resilience and cost goals.

Vendor-neutral: we architect and manage infrastructure that you own. We don’t resell hosting, servers or colocation — so the design serves your platform, not a reseller margin.

What’s included

Architecture & right-sizing

  • Capacity planning for current load and realistic growth.
  • Topology design — placement of trade, history and access servers, bridges and supporting services.
  • Latency-aware placement relative to your liquidity and client base.

Bare-metal & virtualization

  • Bare-metal server specification and configuration.
  • Hyper-V virtualization design and optimization.
  • Resource isolation and performance tuning for trading workloads.

Public cloud

  • Deployment design on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud — on your accounts.
  • Hybrid architectures that blend on-prem and cloud sensibly.
  • Cost optimization without compromising performance.

Resilience & continuity

  • Failover and redundancy design across servers and regions.
  • Backup strategy, scheduling and restore testing.
  • Disaster-recovery planning and periodic DR drills.

Networking & security hardening

  • Network design, segmentation and connectivity to bridges and LPs.
  • Firewall configuration and access restriction to known endpoints.
  • DDoS-mitigation and edge-protection design; encryption in transit.
  • Patch and vulnerability-management practices.

How we work

  • We use what you have. Existing investments are assessed and leveraged; we recommend change only where it pays off.
  • We design for failure. Every critical path has a fallback. Backups are tested, not assumed.
  • You stay in control. Infrastructure runs in your accounts and contracts. We architect and operate; ownership stays yours.
