Currenex: Data Center Security




Data Center Security

Currenex maintains a primary and secondary data center, each in geographically independent environments, managed by different service providers. Both centers employ strict on-site security controls, including 24/7 staffing, sensors, intrusion alarms, biometric scanning of technicians, and video surveillance systems. Furthermore, to ensure high availability and scalability of our services, Currenex has built the trading infrastructure with multiple redundancy to ensure no single point of failure. These provisions include:

  • Multi-homed ISPs for redundant network connections
  • Redundant routers and load balancers
  • Multiple application servers for web access and business logic
  • An enterprise-class database, with redundant subsystems
  • UPS protection and onsite power generation capability through diesel generator backups
  • Rapid failover capability between primary and secondary data centers

In addition to physical network security, Currenex employs extensive network security defenses including:

  • Redundant firewall systems
  • Multiple intrusion detection facilities
  • Host integrity monitors
  • Real-time third party security monitoring
