MT Proxy KENT RIBOE Managing Partner at MT Proxy
Q Tell us about MT Proxy. We provide custom-built proxy server networks. Our solutions are designed to help brokers reduce client-side latency and boost client connectivity worldwide. They are also designed to help brokers protect their businesses against external threats, such as DDoS attacks and latency arbitrage. As such, we help brokers offer a faster, more reliable online trading service. Q Why did you start the company? We felt brokers needed an easy way to set up this type of trading infrastructure. In theory, a broker could set up their own proxy server network. But in reality, many of them simply wouldn’t have the internal resources to do it. They would need to hire someone with the right expertise - someone who could help them find the best server providers and the best internet hubs around the world. They would also need to hire a small team of staff to manage the network - a team that could help them to manage the network and respond to any network threats. MT Proxy gives them an easy alternative. We can set up and run their proxy server networks, and we do it for a fraction of the cost. Q How has the company evolved since then? We’ve always been there in the background. In recent years, we’ve been focusing on our clients and on our services. We’ve automated more processes and added more solutions. We’ve expanded our reach in key markets, such as Africa and Asia. We’ve also improved our offering, added new package deals, and introduced a two-week free trial for new clients. Over the last 12 months, we’ve been focusing on our partner network. We’ve launched partnerships with major industry suppliers such as Tools For Brokers and Centroid Solutions. We’ve also got additional partnerships lined up for 2022. We’re pleased with our progress over the last decade and we look forward to helping more brokers in the years to come.
