CSE to conduct failover to disaster recovery site during trading hours

The Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) will be conducting a planned failover to the disaster recovery site during trading hours using Version 7 of the Automated Trading System (ATS) Disaster Recovery Solution this Friday. The exercise will be an industry-wide activity as part of the business continuity plan (BCP) of the CSE with the participation of all stakeholders, to ensure the preparedness of all stakeholders to meet the recovery needs of the industry in the event of a disaster situation.

The CSE is required to impose a market halt of approximately one hour from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to facilitate the planned failover of the ATS from the production site to the CSE disaster recovery site. The CSE kindly requests all stakeholders to take note of the planned interruption to trading.
