A new data centre has been officially opened at the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE). The facility will provide a safe, reliable and advanced physical and technical environment for the scheduled launch of the SSE's New Generation Trading System and the promotion of new trading and products systems in the future.
The project involved reconstructing and expanding the original computer room, which itself was set within a limited construction area and close to online technical systems. Building work was carried out at night and during holidays to minimize disruption and potential risk to the operation of the trading system.
The project, started in July 2005, was carried out in two phases. The fist phase, the operation machine room, was completed in March 2006, after which the relocation of each online technical system of the SSE was also completed. The second phase, the whole machine room, including the operation machine room and the control center, was completed in October 2006.
According to an official, the aim of the SSE is to make the machine room a intelligentized one with good flexibility and a strong adaptation to the changes of future business and to the adjustment to operation functions.
The computer room is equipped with sufficient and reliable multiple power supply in terms of power distribution system, high-power precision air conditioners in terms of air-conditioning system, all-direction and real-time operation monitoring in terms of environment monitoring, advanced full-capacity PnP connectivity system in terms of weak current engineering, and multi-view monitoring and double detection (infrared and microwave) system in terms of safeguard system. The new design also allows for the further development of the SSE in the future.
