For over a decade, Blackcore® has been the backbone of the global trading community, with our electronic trading servers deployed in every major co-location data center worldwide. We understand the intricate challenges and logistical hurdles involved in delivering critical hardware to trading locations, no matter how remote.

Overcoming deployment hurdles in emerging markets

As the financial landscape expands, so does the need for rapid, reliable electronic trading infrastructure in new territories. Blackcore has proactively invested in enhancing our global capabilities to assist banks, hedge funds, and proprietary trading firms in deploying Blackcore servers wherever they're required, whether that be in any of the major electronic trading hubs globally or in emerging markets. We've seen a significant increase in Blackcore deployments across Korea, Taiwan, India, and South America, areas often associated with complex import regulations and logistical bottlenecks.

What can make these regions markets challenging?

• Complex import and regulatory procedures.
