(PRWEB) August 3, 2005 -- IXEurope has today announced that it has won a contract with Global Equities, the Paris based investment specialists, to provide enhanced business continuity to its trading network. The three-year contract is IXEuropes first business continuity client outside of Germany, following the acquisition of leading German Business Continuity player GIC in May this year.
Driven by the requirements of Basel II, the solution will underpin Global Equities operational risk strategy, guaranteeing business continuity in the event of unforeseen system downtime.
Based in the centre of Paris, Global Equities previous business continuity facility was also located centrally and considered close enough to be exposed to the same risks. Located in a business district north of Paris, IXEuropes facility is 25km from Global Equities office, which is in considered an ideal geagraphic position.
The state-of-the-art business continuity service provides 24/7/365 access to a complete suite of custom designed multi-screen back-up trading seats. The facility offers considerable levels of resilience and high performance network connectivity, directly linked to MCI, France Telecom and Colt Telecom.
Olivier Bisiaux, CTO of Global Equities, commented, "As we expand our operations, IXEuropes state-of-the-art business continuity suite provides a dedicated facility that can be rapidly deployed to meet our requirements. IXEuropes flexible contract terms, geographical location and highly robust and resilient network all contribute to helping us minimise lost trading time should a disaster strike and cause unplanned downtime to our systems."
Bruno Paolini, General Manager of IXEuropes operations in France, said: The Basel II regulations have made business continuity a key consideration for the majority of businesses, trading firms in particular are turning to solutions that help guarantee and support their infrastructure – maintaining constant connectivity with no interruption to their core business. IXEurope can work in partnership with these firms to provide enterprise-class business continuity and realise zero tolerance for downtime."
