Clearing: IT - Relocation of Nasdaq Nordic Secondary Data Center in 2025

Nasdaq Nordic and Baltic have decided to relocate the secondary data center
from PORT to STOCKHOLM SOUTH (Equinix SK2) data center, south of Stockholm. The
relocation will be conducted in several phases and will take place during
Q2-Q3, 2025 - the exact timings per system will be communicated during fall of
2024. The planned changes are subject, where relevant, to regulatory consent. 


Affected connections

The relocation will affect all customers with dual-site connections (i.e.
failover connectivity to site B, PORT) to the following trading, clearing,
market data and Nasdaq CSD Production systems: 

 -- INET Nordic (Cash Equity trading)

 -- Nasdaq Equity Derivatives Trading System (NDTS) (Equity Derivatives
   trading)

 -- Genium INET (Equity Derivatives clearing, Fixed Income and Commodities
   trading and clearing)

 -- Genium Consolidated Feed (GCF) (TIP Market Data)

 -- Nasdaq CSD (Central Securities Depository System)




In addition, future Fixed Income trading system Fusion FI (Pre-Production
available in May 2025, and Production available in October 2025) will have
STOCKHOLM SOUTH as its secondary site from start. 


With relocation to STOCKHOLM SOUTH, the connectivity details (including
multicast services) to primary data center (VASBY) will remain as they are,
only failover connectivity details to secondary data center will change. The
new connectivity details will be communicated to affected customers before the
migration period starts. 

Please note that this relocation will not affect dedicated gateways,
Co-Location connections or test* ports which all reside in VASBY and will keep
their current failover details. 

* Exception: For Nasdaq CSD, this relocation will affect both production and
test connections. 


Estimated time plan

Relocation of the systems to the failover site will be conducted one system at
a time, with estimated start in April 2025. All migrations will be completed by
September 2025. More details regarding the migration period for each system
will be communicated later this year. 

Each production migration will be preceded by a connectivity testing period;
more information regarding this will be provided later this year.
