Data-centre co-location
The group runs 14 primary systems and a replica of each. Until 2028 they sit in shared racks in George Town and Luxembourg on commercial terms that give no contractual claim on power, cooling or physical access. Co-location moves them into two halls with contracted capacity and a named operator at each site.
Resilience is a property of a contract as much as of a machine. A shared rack recovers when the operator chooses. A co-located hall recovers to a written objective. The group sets a recovery time objective of four hours for every primary system and one hour for the treasury ledger and the trading record.
The build costs US$13 million of the US$34 million allocated to 2028 and is the largest single line in the programme. Failover between George Town and Luxembourg is tested twice a year with the business running from the replica for a full trading day. No client data leaves the two halls at any point.
