Korea Securities Depository Replaces Outdated Equipment at Data Center... Presents a New Look

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] The Korea Securities Depository announced on the 29th that it held an opening ceremony for the 'Data Center,' which was inaugurated on the 5th, at the Ilsan Center.

At the data center opening ceremony held on the 29th, Lee Myung-ho, President of the Korea Securities Depository (fifth from the left), attended.

The Depository invested 44.3 billion KRW over a 16-month project period starting from November 2019 to replace IT resources and strengthen disaster recovery systems across all data centers. Currently, the Depository operates three data centers: the main data center (Ilsan Center), the disaster recovery center (Seoul Headquarters), and the data center (Busan Headquarters).

Through this project, the outdated IT equipment introduced in 2011 was completely replaced to reduce system failure risks, and the disaster recovery target time was shortened from 3 hours to within 2 hours. Additionally, the distance between data centers was expanded from 18 km (Ilsan-Yeouido) to 343 km (Ilsan-Busan), meeting both domestic and international data center safety standards, thereby contributing to enhanced stability.

Furthermore, the servers in the data centers were triplicated, and storage devices were duplicated to improve security. The transaction processing speed per second (TPS) was more than doubled, maximizing operational capacity.

At the opening ceremony, President Lee Myung-ho said, "The new data center, with improved stability, speed, and security efficiency, embodies the very reason for the existence of the capital market innovation platform," and added, "We look forward to continuous capability development in the IT sector."
