Cloud9

Cloud 9 Technologies is a cloud communications service provider. They provide high-performance voice, messaging and collaboration services designed for the unique needs of distributed work groups and teams. C9 Trader connects the institutional trading community with a voice and messaging solution designed especially for the financial markets. It provides a secure and compliant way to connect with your trading counterparties while eliminating the hassle and expense of legacy turret systems and private lines.

The C9 Trader application is able to record all calls in standard Ogg/Opus and M4A/AAC format. The files with related metadata (JSON) can be automatically uploaded from the C9 desktops to the Verba servers, where a configured Cloud9 import source can receive, process and archive the data. Multiple Verba serves can be deployed and used for the import. In this case a HTTP load balancer has to be placed in front of the servers to provide load balancing and/or failover for the uploads.

For a general description of Verba Import sources, please refer to Import sources.

All Cloud9 voice file formats are supported for import.

Recording is supported for the following modalities:

  • Voice

Configuring Cloud9 recording and archiving

In order to archive the calls in Verba please make sure that Local or Cloud and Local is selected.

Set the Voice Recording to Yes, and provide the URI in "http://verbaserver:port" format.

Please make sure that the Enhanced Metadata checkbox is checked.
