JPXI and AWS Team Up to Transform Japan’s Market Future

JPX Market Innovation & Research, Inc. (JPXI) is striving to make Japan Exchange Group, Inc. (JPX) a “global, comprehensive finance and information platform,” with the help of Amazon Web Services (AWS).

As part of this endeavor, JPXI will report the advancements made in making Japan’s financial instruments markets more appealing and competitive on a global scale.

JPX’s shared infrastructure platform, J-WS, was developed by JPXI on AWS. This has made it possible for it to consistently run the data and digital businesses of the JPX Group. JPXI has been able to further improve the quality and functionality of its operations by leveraging AWS’s vast and sophisticated cloud technologies and expertise.

JPXI has made the decision to move the Timely Disclosure Network (TDnet) to J-WS in light of these achievements. TDnet provides investors and the market with important corporate information in a timely, accurate, and equitable manner.

After the trading and clearing systems, TDnet is regarded as a semi-essential system since timely disclosure is crucial to preserving investor trust and the fairness of the stock market. JPXI hopes to boost cybersecurity measures and increase the reliability and resilience of the mission-critical TDnet system by moving it to J-WS.

TDnet’s migration will provide a multi-layered redundant configuration that makes use of AWS’s Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Region and its Asia Pacific (Osaka) Region in addition to JPX’s current Business Continuity Plan (BCP) environment. This will greatly increase TDnet’s ability to withstand large-scale calamities.

Moving TDnet’s infrastructure to J-WS is part of JPXI’s ambition to upgrade TDnet. The move will improve TDnet’s performance and its capacity to process disclosure materials. Enhancing TDnet’s functioning is another part of the goal.

JPXI is working with Fujitsu Limited, a developer, to carry out the planned modifications. Fujitsu Limited is utilizing both its technical know-how and the information and experience it has obtained from its previous efforts at TDnet’s development.
