When TASE switched to a fully automated trading system in 1997, high availability was the top priority.

If something goes wrong, all trading stops. Compaq helped build and support a trading system to meet TASE's toughest requirements. Two Compaq engineers, backed by Compaq's considerable technical resources, manage the clusters on site at TASE, complementing Levanon's team with their specialized knowledge. From day one, the automated trading system has had an excellent uptime record. This became a crucial question in 2000, when the Board of Directors made a decision to expand trading hours and services for investors.
