By Public Technologies
  • Equinix's analysis finds continuous trading will require capital markets firms to redesign infrastructure for uninterrupted operations rather than recovery from outages.
  • Exchanges moving to 23/5 trading will retain roughly one hour for daily maintenance; 24/7 markets would eliminate scheduled downtime.
  • Multiple production-ready environments will increase data center capacity needs in core financial hubs, with redundant systems required to deliver equivalent trading performance.
  • Hybrid architectures will keep latency-sensitive execution on private infrastructure while using cloud platforms for workloads benefiting from scalability and services.
  • Continuous trading will require redundant power and cooling, alongside round-the-clock cybersecurity monitoring and incident response.
