“Turquoise, the London Stock Exchange’s large volume
‘dark pool’ trading platform, will go live on a new Linux-based
platform in August or September.“The move will be an ambitious “big bang” approach instead of a
soft migration, according to a technical note the LSE sent to
customers yesterday.The quick changeover is a response to
“participant feedback”, the LSE said. Services across the
Integrated and Dark Midpoint order books will commence trading on
the same day.“Turquoise, of which a controlling stake was bought by the LSE
in December, will move away from the Cinnober Tradexpress platform,
which is Java based. It will migrate to the MillenniumIT platform,
after its creator, a Sri Lankan firm of the same name, was acquired
by the LSE in September. MillenniumIT is based on Linux and Sun
Solaris Unix environments and uses an Oracle database.”
