Private Cloud Hosts
Scalable, Private, Powerful Self-Hosted QuantConnect
Private Cloud is an on-premise, scalable cloud architecture to run your research, backtesting, and live trading services on corporate hardware. Distributed teams of quants can build strategies in their local VSCode without a copy of the data, and harness powerful compute located in a central location. This minimizes potential errors from multiple copies of data, and can reduce costs by using a centralized server farm. Private cloud is licensed per host that runs the backtesting technology, and requires a copy of the data.
Onboarding Services
Three day consultation to train and fast track your team.
