Apr 27, 2007 : ICE Relocates Data Center
📅 - Electronic energy marketplace and soft commodity exchange IntercontinentalExchange (theice.com) announced on Wednesday the relocation of its technology operations and support systems to Chicago, beginning in June 2007.
The relocation includes a staged transition from London, England and Atlanta, Georgia locations to Chicago for ICE's back-up trading facility and its primary data center that supports the electronic markets for ICE Futures, the New York Board of Trade and ICE's global over-the-counter markets.
The disaster recovery system mirrors the ICE primary exchange system to enable a seamless transition of trading operations to a redundant platform in the event of an unanticipated incident, says the company.
"As our business expands both globally and domestically, the location of our key technology infrastructure in Chicago ensures we are positioned at the center of the commodities trading community and near many of our largest customers," says Mark Wassersug, ICE VP of operations. "As we near completion of this state-of-the-art hosting facility, we're offering our customers continued technology enhancements, along with a broad range of connectivity options that will optimize bandwidth usage and reduce connectivity costs."
