Business Continuity Management – Systems Unavailability test date
It is Clearstream’s philosophy to constantly improve products and services. This also applies to the Business Continuity Management programme. As part of this programme, we will again be offering customers the possibility to participate in our Business Continuity Management (BCM) test planned for
Saturday, 2 October 2021
On that day, we shall simulate the unavailability of one of Clearstream’s production data centres. During the course of the test, Clearstream systems will be run in contingency mode, which will apply also to the real time settlement period. Customers will have the opportunity to participate in the test between 13:00 and 15:00 (CEST) to validate their connectivity and processing.
All data input during the test will be processed. Normal processing will resume with the real time settlement period starting at 21:05 (CEST) Sunday, 3 October 2021.
In view of the circumstances of the test, all timings quoted here can only be approximate.
