Stock Exchange and Clearinghouse Accelerate Operations and Improve Availability with HPE Shadowbase Data Replication

High Data Entry Error Rates

A South American stock exchange faced high data entry error rates while using a trading system built with HPE NonStop Servers.

Manual reconciliation

The resulting manual reconciliation process required to correct these errors prevented it from complying with its same-day or next-day trade settlement commitments.

Shadowbase heterogeneous and real-time transactional data replication

Working with its clearinghouse, the exchange chose the Shadowbase data replication engine to re-architect its system to eliminate manual data re-entry, thereby eliminating errors and reducing settlement times to meet its commitments.

Re-architected system

The re-architected system uses Shadowbase software to replicate a Sybase validation database from the clearinghouse’s AIX system to a NonStop SQL/MP database located on the exchange’s HPE NonStop trading system.

The exchange also utilizes Shadowbase heterogeneous replication in managing several Linux/MySQL data warehouses that provide trading history.

Solve micro-batch update latency

The exchange also replaced an earlier micro-batch updating approach with Shadowbase real-time transactional data replication from the HPE NonStop SQL/MP trading database to the MySQL databases.

Shadowbase disaster recovery protection

The exchange implemented Shadowbase solutions for disaster recovery protection of its trading system (providing active/passive data replication between the primary and standby HPE NonStop Servers). Shadowbase software now plays a major role in integrating the many systems in the exchange’s IT infrastructure, as well as providing continuous availability for its mission-critical business services.
