The servers of the “E-Stock” Information and Finance Technologies Center are located on technical premises of the primary and backup information processing centers of the Moscow Interbank Foreign Exchange equipped in compliance with all the requirements of the modern standards:

• Primary and backup uninterrupted power supply systems.
• Air-conditioning and fire-extinguishing systems, access control and visual monitoring systems.
• Hot reservation of network equipment and communication channels, as well as a backup copying and data restoration system.
• A hardware and software monitoring and management system.
• Data encoding tools and information security systems.
• As well as Blade-servers – a highly technological and compact hardware platform manufactured by Hewlett-Packard.

“E-Stock” uses an autonomous system and dynamic routing to optimize and reserve customers’ connections via the Internet.

The autonomous system (AS) and dynamic routing protocols – are the primary mechanism that ensures reservation of connection channels. Utilization of an autonomous system enables “E-Stock” to optimize connections of its customers using the shortest connection route through one of its own Internet access providers. Fault tolerance is ensured by automatic rerouting if the current Internet access provider or transit providers experiences technical difficulties.

The “E-Stock” Information and Finance Technologies Centeruses a unique technology of integration of heterogeneous systems – the PIE^® (Processware Integration Environment) technology.PIEвis a suite of software products used for integration of heterogeneous applications. Utilization of the PIEвtechnology enables one to manage heterogeneous applications, such as:

• applications developed on the basis of open standards;
• “inherited” applications;
• web-oriented applications;
• ready-made applications; or
• applications developed by company’s personnel, etc.,

as a single system. The business-oriented approach implemented in the PIEвtechnology makes it possible to modify the business logic of applications without reprogramming and thus – to quickly and effectively respond to changing market demands. For the development of end-to-end business processes PIEвoffers a special graphic user interface that allows one to draw logical diagrams using the UML standard. Due to its distributed, component-oriented architecture and ability to support the XML standard the PIEвtechnology is ideal for using with the Internet and intranets and is a well-scalable solution.
