This IT Notice includes instructions for mandatory activities for ALL customers and service providers with connectivity to Nasdaq Nordic and Nasdaq Baltic. Relocation to VASBY
As previously communicated , Nasdaq Nordic and Nasdaq Baltic are in the process of relocating the primary LUNDA data center to the new VASBY data center in Upplands Väsby, north of Stockholm. This data center relocation requires that all customers make necessary arrangements in order to establish connectivity to the new VASBY data center. If not yet done, please contact your connectivity provider as soon as possible to make sure you have connectivity to the VASBY data center in advance of the mandatory tests described further down in this notice. Mandatory connectivity establishment
The VASBY data center will be ready for connectivity tests from February 15. During February 15 – March 18 , all customers with existing connections to LUNDA must establish connectivity to the new VASBY data center . This will ensure participation in the coming mandatory customer testing which will take place during April. Please fill in and return the attached Connectivity Readiness Status Report not later than February 5, to Nasdaq Technical Relations . Migration information and time schedule
In the current setup, the LUNDA data center is the primary Production site and the PORT data center the failover Production site. After the primary data center relocation has been completed, the VASBY data center will become the primary Production site and PORT data center will remain as the failover Production site. The migration will be completed by June 19 from when the LUNDA data center will no longer be used by Nasdaq Nordic and Nasdaq Baltic. The primary data center relocation will be carried out using a phased approach. Below systems receive new destination IPs and ports in VASBY and therefore require mandatory customer testing:
