Moscow Exchange is going to move its principal IT hardware – trading, clearing and depository equipment and client colocation units – to a colocation data centre in Moscow owned by the DataSpace company.
The relocation to the DataSpace1 centre is due to finish by May 2016. During an initial stage in 2015, the exchange will have a reserve data centre deployed at DataSpace1, the bourse said in a statement.
DataSpace1 has a series of Tier III (second-highest level) certifications from Uptime Institute, a New York-headquartered global organisation that, according to its self-description, “provides education, publications, consulting, certifications, conferences and seminars, independent research, and thought leadership for the enterprise data center industry and for data center professionals”.
“Having completed a rigorous analysis of existing and prospective offerings in the data center market, we are pleased to announce that we have selected DataSpace as our primary data center,” the Moscow Exchange statement quoted the bourse’s chief information officer, Sergei Poliakoff, as saying.
“The combination of physical security offered, operations expertise and Tier III Gold rating from Uptime were key factors in our decision making process. We are looking forward to fully deploying our primary trading infrastructure in a new home by May 2016.”
