Brazilian Stock Exchange Ushers in New Era With SQL Server-Based Infrastructure

Overview Starting in the late 1970s, the Brazilian São Paulo Stock Exchange (BOVESPA) ran its mission-critical applications on ever-larger, ever-more costly mainframe platforms. By the early 2000s, with daily trading volume growing by 50 percent each year, BOVESPA IT executives decided to evaluate their technology investments and infrastructure. Seeking a more flexible approach, they decided to migrate the entire operation to a Microsoft-based environment using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 with Intel Itanium 2 and Xeon servers and ultimately retire the mainframe. Based on early results, the decision was a wise one. BOVESPA is enjoying higher performance, stability, and security and a lower total cost of ownership.
