Infrastructure & 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​

  • Type: 1G/10G Fiber
  • Redundancy: Dual connections strongly recommended

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 and avoid disruptions during maintenance
  • High availability during data centre maintenance
  • Continuous service during unexpected outages

AWS Direct Connect Option​

For brokers with infrastructure on AWS, we offer AWS Direct Connect integration.

AWS connection requirements​

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

  • AWS ID: Your AWS account identifier
  • AWS Zone: Target availability zone
  • Number of Connections: Quantity 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
  • Technical Requirements: Private AS, Private network with subnet mask up to /28 (rare cases up to /24), BGP

AWS redundancy​

Similar to direct connections, we strongly recommend establishing two cross-connections via AWS Direct Connect to ensure:

  • Redundancy during AWS maintenance
  • High availability during Spotware maintenance
  • Continuous service during data centre maintenance
