Amazon has announced a multi-year global collaboration with Murex to expand its MX.3 platform into Amazon Web Services (AWS)-powered managed services. This expansion includes offerings such as MXSaaS and XVA as a Service for financial institutions.
According to the press bulletin, the collaboration formalizes an existing relationship between Murex and AWS aimed at helping capital markets firms modernize their trading and risk platforms without expanding on-premises infrastructure. By delivering MX.3 as managed services on AWS, institutions can accelerate initial deployments, upgrade more frequently, and utilize elastic compute for analytics like XVA. The release suggests that this shift reduces operational complexity while maintaining high standards for security, compliance, and resiliency.
Murex reports significant progress since the agreement was signed in June, with four new customers joining MXSaaS. This strengthens its position as a mature service. Quantitatively, MX.3 supports over 60,000 daily users in 65 countries across various operations. On AWS, managed services add technical process automation and performance monitoring to help shorten time-to-market and prevent disruptions for regulated institutions.
AWS's scale provides the necessary capacity backbone for risk workloads with more than 240 fully featured services running across 120 Availability Zones in 38 geographic regions. New regions have been announced in Chile, Saudi Arabia, and the AWS European Sovereign Cloud. Elastic compute is crucial for XVA as a Service due to its reliance on high-volume exposure and valuation adjustments under strict latency targets.
Amazon is a global technology company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, with another headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. Its cloud division, Amazon Web Services (launched in 2006), delivers on-demand infrastructure and AI services to millions of customers worldwide.
