London Stock Exchange blames outage on Infolect
,----[ Quote ]
| She said the problem appeared to lie with Infolect’s three interactive
| gateways, which send out about 10 million separate pieces of market
| information daily, including share prices, to about 100,000 terminals.
|
| Infolect was launched two years ago in place of the exchange’s London Market
| Information Link platform. It uses Microsoft .net technology and a SQL Server
| database, and runs on more than 100 Intel-based 32-bit Proliant servers.
