major step in achieving
Euronext’s ESG goals as

for 1.5º”
commitment
Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon,
Milan, Oslo and Paris –
15 June
2022 – Euronext, the leading
pan-European market infrastructure, today announced the successful
completion of the migration of its Core Data Centre and related
colocation services from Basildon, UK, to the Aruba Global Cloud
Data Centre IT3 in Bergamo, Italy. This key milestone has been
completed on schedule in just 14 months, following the announcement
of this strategic decision in April 2021 in the context of the
Borsa Italiana Group acquisition.
Strategic rationale and
value creation
Relocating Euronext’s Core Data Centre from the
UK to Italy, into a best-in-class and green data centre facility,
was a strategic decision made in response to multiple factors,
including the dynamic created by Brexit, and a strong rationale for
relocating Euronext’s core European trading activities in the
European Union. This move allows Euronext to fully control and
directly manage its core IT infrastructure, as well as a key
service to clients, colocation, which was previously outsourced. It
also allows the generation of colocation revenues, embedded in the
upgraded synergies.
The Aruba Global Cloud Data Centre meets the
highest quality standards (rating 4 certification), provides the
maximum level of safety and resilience, and is 100% powered by
renewable energy, enabling Euronext to minimise its environmental
impact.
Euronext now operates a state-of-the-art
colocation facility available to both members and non-members,
opening up new opportunities for development of services, and
contributing as of today to a part of the planned delivery of the
€100 million run-rate annual EBITDA synergies related to the Borsa
Italiana Group acquisition targeted for 2024.
The Core Data Centre migration has been timed in
order to pave the way for the migration of the Borsa Italiana
equity and derivatives markets onto the Euronext Optiq® trading
platform as soon as 2023.
Powered by nature and clean
energy
The migration to the new green Core Data Centre
represents a key milestone in Euronext’s “Fit for 1.5°” commitment,
part of its ESG strategy. Located in the Aruba Global Cloud Data
Centre IT3’s certified and energy-efficient buildings, the new Core
Data Centre is entirely powered by renewable energy, much of it
self-produced through a large photovoltaic system and a
hydroelectric unit. It also benefits from reduced power consumption
thanks to very efficient cooling systems using geothermal and
dynamic free cooling, and the use of cloud computing to reduce the
number of servers. The new Core Data Centre allows Euronext to
reduce its own carbon footprint, while also enabling its colocation
clients to lower their environmental impact.
Stéphane Boujnah, Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman of the Managing Board of Euronext, said: “The migration of
Euronext’s Core Data Centre to Italy, 14 months after the closing
of the Borsa Italiana Group acquisition, marks a milestone in
bringing back to the European Union the Core Data Centre that
handles 25% of European trading volumes. It is the first major
achievement within Euronext’s Growth for Impact 2024 strategic
plan, paving the way for the migration of the Italian cash equities
and derivatives markets to the Euronext Optiq® trading technology
as soon as 2023. This migration triggered the first business
synergies related to the Borsa Italiana Group integration. I would
like to thank all our teams, our clients, and our service providers
for this successful project, which will benefit the whole of the
financial ecosystem while helping our clients reduce their own
carbon footprints.”
