CLS Migrates to New Data Centre Environment

CLS says it has worked with Kyndryl to successfully complete a migration to a new data centre environment as part of its multi-year technological modernisation programme.

Describing the move as a “significant milestone”, CLS says the new technology environment strengthens the security, resilience and operational flexibility of its services while supporting future growth and evolving market and business requirements.  

It adds that the migration programme involved extensive planning and rigorous validation at every stage to ensure the new environment meets the high standards required of a systemically important financial market infrastructure.  
“As a critical financial market infrastructure, resilience is fundamental to everything we do,” says Tom Barkhuff, chief information officer, CLS. “Completing this milestone further strengthens the foundation of our services and positions us to continue delivering the operational resilience, security and reliability our settlement members expect. This achievement also reflects the strength of our collaboration with Kyndryl throughout the program.” 
Walter Huber, managing partner, Kyndryl, adds, “The completion of this major milestone in CLS’s modernisation journey is truly a one-team celebration. Maintaining service quality, cyber resilience and operational reliability remains a top priority in today’s cyberthreat environment.”
