A financial exchange hits 99.9999% uptime.

# BFSI Customer Story — 99.9999% uptime achieved

**Industry:** BFSI
**Cloud:** AWS
**Outcome:** 99.9999% uptime achieved

## Summary
Six-nines availability while cutting run-rate, via app modernization.

## The Challenge
The customer operates one of the region's busiest financial exchanges, processing multi-billion-dollar transaction volumes every day. Their core trading and settlement applications ran on aging PureApp technology that was rapidly approaching end-of-support, exposing the business to compliance, performance, and continuity risk.Three pressures collided at once: handling enormous daily transaction loads while improving portability and cost efficiency, shrinking the cycle time for new features and bug fixes, and integrating modern alerting into an existing BMC operations suite.Any modernization had to happen without disrupting trading hours and without compromising the regulatory posture the exchange is held to.

## The Solution
CloudHedge recommended a containerization-first modernization of the exchange's legacy Java applications, packaging them as Docker containers and deploying them on an IBM Cloud private-cloud footprint that satisfied the exchange's data sovereignty and compliance requirements.The rollout was orchestrated through CHAI Flow, which automated container builds, environment provisioning, and DevOps pipelines so that releases could move from commit to production with predictable, auditable steps. Native integrations were wired into the existing BMC suite, giving operations teams a single pane of glass for alerting and incident response.The result was a modernization path that preserved years of trading logic while replacing the brittle PureApp substrate with a container platform engineered for scale, observability, and longevity.

## The Outcome
The exchange now sustains 99.9999% uptime on its modernized platform, with a noticeable reduction in operating costs and dramatically improved capacity to absorb peak processing demand. Regulatory and compliance obligations are met natively by the new container architecture.Most importantly, the customer secured a 15-year forward runway on a supportable, cloud-portable stack, eliminating the existential risk of running mission-critical trading workloads on end-of-life infrastructure.
