This article explains the introduction of new technology system to Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE).　The system of Tokyo Stock Exchange has been controversy issue this day. The Tokyo Stock Exchange greatly lost trust by a trouble over the information system that continued from November, 2005. The beginning of the thing is that exchange processed an erroneous order entered by Mizuho Securities to sell 610,000 shares of J-Com Co. at 1 yen each, instead of one share at 610,000 yen which Mizuho is still fighting with TSE over the liability for the resulting 40 billion yen loss. A system rebuilding project by the Tokyo Stock Exchange aims at the operation of the latter half of 2009 in this January and starts in earnest. On the choice of the development vendor, the Tokyo Stock Exchange carries out the first international bid and TSE chose Fujitsu from a world influential vendor.

It is to secure the rapidity of the world highest standard and reliability, expansibility that the Tokyo Stock Exchange nominated for a matter of the trading system in the next generation. The suggestion of Fujitsu which accepted an order of development spent an original new technology about these three points each, Tokyo Stock Exchange seems to have judged that it could maintain the world highest standard 10 years later. Fujitsu will try to shorten response time for an order taking about one or two seconds now within 10 milliseconds. It is important to perform business quickly to raise efficiency.

For TSE, in order to perform the world's best level, they read all application / business data on memory. In order to achieve this, Fujitsu suggested totally new constitution of memory database called the three folds node. The reason to make 3 nodes is because business data do not disappear even if an active main node performance falls. It carries out the change to the sub system from main performance system within seven seconds. They are trying to secure the trust by three fold node and backup site.

To conclude, I think that Stock Exchange must be trustworthy and speedy. As globalization goes on, the order will rise rapidly and more company from all over the world will join the Stock Exchange. In order to deal with those enormous amounts of information, it is essential to wrestle with introducing a high performance system which is speedy, trustworthy immediately. After new system introduction in 2009, what will happen to TSE and how it will influence the other Stock Exchange?
