Financial technology going overseas has long become a common topic. Many payment platforms, wallet systems, brokerage software and other projects have begun to deploy financial service systems overseas. Overseas financial service systems have high requirements for servers. This article analyzes the key points of overseas financial system server selection, hoping to help everyone build a financial platform.
Regarding the selection of overseas financial system servers, we must focus on server performance and security requirements. Exclusive resources are the first choice. Shared VPS or low-cost cloud hosts are not recommended. High-defense physical independent servers, high-configuration and high-bandwidth cloud servers or enterprise-level private cloud clusters are more recommended. Important applications such as clearing and settlement systems, transaction matching engines, and capital synchronization interfaces are recommended to use exclusive physical servers to ensure independence and computing power.
Regional deployment should give priority to target market regulations and user distribution. If the main customers are in Southeast Asia, you can choose Singapore, Japan, and Hong Kong nodes; if you focus on the European and American markets, you can consider Los Angeles, Dallas, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and other places. At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure that the local data center meets PCI DSS, ISO27001 and other financial data compliance requirements.
In terms of configuration, it is often recommended to choose a multi-core high-frequency processor (such as Intel Xeon, AMD EPYC), with a minimum starting point of 8 cores and 16 threads, a memory of no less than 32GB, and support for ECC automatic error correction. It is recommended to use enterprise-level NVMe SSD for disks to ensure high-concurrency read and write stability. In terms of bandwidth, at least 100Mbps is configured as the starting point. For key businesses, it is recommended to enable exclusive bandwidth or BGP multi-line solutions to ensure low-latency transmission of financial transaction data. Exclusive bandwidth can provide users with better network resources, and there is no need to worry about financial services being congested during peak hours, resulting in slow access, high latency, or even service interruptions. The current CN2 line belongs to the high-quality line in the international line standard. Jtti provides Hong Kong CN2 independent servers and US CN2 independent servers, which are cost-effective and stable, and support value-added services such as free testing and bandwidth upgrades.
Security is the core of financial system deployment. The server must support firewalls, custom port policies, SSH key login, DDoS protection, WAF application layer protection, and regularly patch and perform vulnerability scans. It is recommended to enable full disk encryption, deploy intrusion detection system (IDS) and access log auditing functions to ensure that data is not accessed by unauthorized persons. At the same time, it should be equipped with daily automatic backup and off-site disaster recovery capabilities.
It is recommended to use a stable version of Linux, such as Debian, CentOS or Ubuntu Server, with containerized deployment (such as Docker + Kubernetes) to improve business flexibility. It is recommended to use PostgreSQL, MySQL or enterprise-level Oracle for the database, and do a good job of master-slave replication and high-availability architecture design.
Finally, it is recommended to choose an IDC service provider with experience in the financial industry, who can provide 7×24-hour rapid response technical support, support contract compliance, IP real-name, and data compliance hosting services. Mainstream service providers such as Jtti can be flexibly customized according to business needs.
In short, the selection of overseas financial system servers must be "stability first, security first, and compliance first", and a reasonable combination of regions, configurations and protection solutions can be achieved in the international market for a long time. Stable operation and escort for enterprises going overseas. The high-protection servers provided by Jtti are in Hong Kong, the United States, Singapore and other regions, and support stress testing, so you can buy with more peace of mind!
