Case Study: Plus500 achieves secure, compliant multicloud to protect millions of trades with Rackspace Technology

Plus500 protects millions of online trades with a compliant multicloud solution

Plus500, a market-leading online CFD trading provider with 200,000 active customers and $1.3 trillion traded annually, needed a resilient, low-latency and compliant infrastructure to support its fully online platform—more than three million trades per month—while coping with volatile market spikes and growing cybersecurity threats. Rackspace Technology had managed Plus500’s private cloud for over a decade and was tasked with delivering greater scalability, continuous availability and regulatory assurance as the business expanded.

Rackspace integrated Google Cloud Platform with Plus500’s VMware private cloud to create a multicloud environment, and wrapped it with Rackspace Managed Security (RMS, PDR) plus Armor and CrowdStrike tooling for unified, 24/7 threat detection and compliance. The solution delivered autoscaling performance and increased processing power, stronger security posture and fewer false positives, and gave Plus500 the visibility and confidence to scale internationally while maintaining regulatory compliance.
