London Stock Exchange Tackles System Problem

Posted by samzenpus on from the fix-the-glitch dept.

DMandPenfold writes "The London Stock Exchange has taken steps to resolve a system problem that occurred at 4.30pm Tuesday, which saw a delay to the start of the closing auction and knocked out automatic trades during a 42 second period. The problem occurred a day after the high profile launch of its new matching engine on the main equities market, based on the SUSE Linux system from Novell."

    Why is this news? None of the several hour long outage calls I've been involved with were ever on the news.

    Simple, when a Linux system has a 42 seconds outage that's news. When a windows systems has several hours outage, there is nothing new about.
    Odd that you didn't get that..
