99.999% SLA since 2021, or How Your Bourse ‘Keeps the lights on’ for Your Brokerage
Uptime is the foundation of market integrity and client confidence. Every trading server, price-distribution hub and risk-management engine must remain continuously available to ensure proper execution. For a brokerage, therefore, the conversation is no longer “How often can we tolerate being offline?” but “How close to continuous can we realistically get?”
The answer lies in achieving, and surpassing “five-nines” (99.999%) availability, where total annual downtime is measured in mere seconds. Anything less risks unhedged exposure, cancelled trades and reputational damage; anything more positions a firm as a venue of choice for institutional volumes and algorithmic strategies.
Your Bourse Uptime Stats, 2021-Present
Across Your Bourse’s global infrastructure we logged an average of only 6.75 seconds of downtime per client since 2021. That’s a microscopic 0.00002 %, which translates into 99.99998 % uptime. The lowest figure we had, per server, was an average of 3.8 seconds of downtime.
Better still, our Service-Level Agreement already pledges 99.999 % (“five nines”) availability, roughly 31.5 seconds of possible interruption per year. By extending the uptime by further +0.00098 %, we delivered performance that exceeds the standard for Institutional grade benchmarks.
Why Six Seconds Still Matter
- Continuous price feeds and flawless order routing: trades land precisely where, and when, they should.
- Content regulators and liquidity partners: solid availability shows you run a measured and professional operation.
- Client confidence: traders remember the broker that never drops the line, even in peak volatility.
How Your Bourse Consistently Tops the Charts
Your Bourse guarantees at least 99.9999 % uptime from every major Equinix data centre, but the raw percentage only tells half the story. What makes the difference in practice is the architecture and the people behind it:
- Real-time hot backups, automatic failover and watchdog servers: should one component falter, another steps in instantly.
- 24/7 live monitoring with proactive fixes: potential issues are resolved before traders notice.
- L2/L3 MetaTrader specialists on the help-desk: direct access to experienced engineers, not a triage queue.
- Dedicated, low-latency hardware: built expressly for trading workloads, not repurposed general-use servers.
- Smart global routing: each server sits on the shortest, cleanest path to your clients.
- Direct cross-connects to leading liquidity providers: saving you micro-seconds with every tick
- DDoS protection: hostile traffic is neutralised before it touches live flow.
All of this arrives in a cost-effective, fully managed package, freeing your team to focus on growth rather than endlessly tending infrastructure.
Not Quite Hitting Five Nines Yet?
