Infrastructure and connectivity

Brokers must establish direct, high-quality connections to Spotware services to ensure optimal performance, stability and reliability of SSO (OAuth) integrations. This section outlines the connectivity requirements and available options.

Connection requirements​

Brokers must use a direct connection, with costs covered by them, to enhance the quality and stability of their connection to Spotware services.

Data centre locations​

Our data centres are available in these locations:

  • UK: Equinix LD4 and Equinix LD7
    • Cross-connections suitable for brokers with infrastructure in the UK
  • US: Equinix NY2 and Equinix NY6
    • Cross-connections suitable for brokers with infrastructure in the US

Technical specifications​

Cable requirements​

Routing requirements​

  • Autonomous System: Private AS
  • Network: Private network with subnet mask up to /28 (rare cases up to /24)
  • Protocol: BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)

Redundancy recommendations​

We strongly recommend that brokers establish two cross-connections to ensure:

  • Redundancy
  • High availability during data centre maintenance
  • Continuous service during unexpected outages

and avoid disruptions during maintenance.

AWS Direct Connect option​

For brokers with infrastructure on AWS, we offer AWS Direct Connect integration. This connection option is more convenient because you do not have to set up direct connections between your infrastructure and ours.

AWS connection requirements​

To set up the connection via AWS, you need to provide:

  • AWS ID
  • AWS Zone
  • Number of Direct Connect connections
  • Connection speed (Minimum 50 Mbps per connection)

Cost and management​

  • Costs: Broker is responsible for all AWS-related costs
  • Configuration: Broker manages AWS-side configurations

Routing requirements​

  • Autonomous System: Private AS
  • Network: Private network with subnet mask up to /28 (rare cases up to /24)
  • Protocol: BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)

AWS redundancy​

Similar to direct connections, we strongly recommend that brokers establish two cross-connections to ensure:

  • Redundancy
  • High availability during data centre maintenance
  • Continuous service during unexpected outages

and avoid disruptions during maintenance.
