CFH Systems Embarks on an Infrastructure Joint Venture in China

Operating a connection speed dependent business behind the great firewall of China is a daunting task for international firms, but one that can be solved with the help of local solutions and Chinese partners. In line with that fact, CFH Systems announced today that it has formed a joint venture with Capital Market Automation Provider Ltd to accelerate its market penetration in China.

The new partnership offers institutional clients CFH's ClearVision technology and Capital Market Automation Provider’s local network infrastructure, specialization in MT4 hosted services and Chinese market support. The joint venture builds on CFH Systems’ internet peering agreement with China Unicom, offering low latency when trading between China and Europe.

Ole Rossing, CIO, CFH Systems explains, “We are all aware of the huge potential in China. However, we knew that to capitalise on the opportunities available, we needed to find a local partner with strong local knowledge and excellent infrastructure. Capital Market Automation Provider Ltd was ideal, with a strong track record and a reliable local network already in place.

Capital Market Automation Provider Ltd is present in two datacentres in Hong Kong and three China datacentres, in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Tianjin. This local network, combined with our own dedicated fibres between London and Beijing, puts us in a strong position to become a market leader in terms of technology, Hosting Hosting Hosting refers to the location of a broker’s technology stack.

Their technology is second to none and provides all the tools required by brokers to manage an increasingly complex business.
