Projects & Agreements
Montran, Interoute and HWG bring
Software-as-a-Service payment and
treasury solutions to banking sector
Montran Corporation has partnered with Interoute and HWG. Combining Interoute’s
global private cloud network with the expertise of managed service provider,
HWG, will give clients the choice to deploy Montran’s applications in a SaaS model.
Delivering on-demand market infrastructure solutions via the cloud will help
customers adapt to an increasingly changing and regulated financial industry.
With over 35 years of experience developing robust payment solutions for
Tier one multinational financial institutions, Montran will offer its payment and
treasury management applications on demand. This will be available as a complete
package, or as modular scalable solutions for banks, secured within Interoute’s
privately networked, global cloud and managed by HWG.
This will enable Montran’s products to be easily integrated with a bank’s own systems
and internal environments, as well as allowing solutions to cost effectively scale as
business requirements grow. The ability to provide these services from the cloud is an
advantage for small and mid-sized financial institutions, which would otherwise face
heavy overheads to operate additional internal IT infrastructure. It also reduces the time-
to-market for launching value-added services to customers of larger tier one banks.
The new model offers the same benefits as a hosted or service bureau off-premises
installation, but delivery from the cloud brings additional ease of deployment,
flexibility, scalability and quicker time to market for client offerings and compliance.

RETN Conducts Massive Network
Upgrade at EvoSwitch’s Amsterdam
Colocation Data Centre
RETN has carried out a massive upgrade of its point-of
presence (PoP) at EvoSwitch AMS1 – which doubles
RETN’s networking capacity at EvoSwitch’s data centre
in the Amsterdam area.
The network upgrade has transformed RETN’s
PoP at EvoSwitch AMS1 into a ‘Super PoP’, expanding
EvoSwitch’s already network-dense connectivity options in Amsterdam significantly.
‘With current upgrades, driven by growing demand, we have doubled our capacity
at the PoP,’ stated Andrey Gazizov, CTO at RETN. ‘We can now easily increase our
existing bandwidth up to 4Tbps and thus address needs of a larger amount of local and
international customers seeking for connectivity from the Netherlands. We are delighted
to have beeen EvoSwitch’s connectivity partner for a number of years already. We greatly
appreciate the work of their support team, fast delivery and reasonable price of the
services they offer.’
The cooperation between RETN and EvoSwitch AMS1 started back in 2014 when
RETN launched its DWDM PoP at this large Amsterdam colocation data centre. The PoP
is directly connected to RETN’s multi-gigabit pan-European network forming a significant
part of RETN’s presence in Benelux region.
