On June 22nd, 2018, in Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, the 5th SDS Futures Industry Technology Symposium was held successfully. The theme of the symposium, ‘New Integration, New Ecosystem, New Thinking, New Cooperation’, made a clear statement of SDS’s strong will to achieve a breakthrough in promoting cooperation and innovation, to provide people working on futures trading technologies with a platform of effective communication, to set up an industrial cooperation and innovation mechanism for finance trading technology world, and to provide users from futures market with an across-the-board and improved services. On invitation, leaders of technological subsidiaries of Chinese futures exchanges and nearly 100 IT experts working in the futures industry from across China took part in the 5th Symposium. Sticking to the service concepts of ‘industry-oriented services, rule-complied management, stable operation, and committed to high level trading protection’, SDS takes it as its mission to firmly pull forward the technological innovation in finance industry and fuel SDS IDX data centers with greater power. It’s SDS’s plan to, in this year, launch new high-class computing rooms for the futures industry. It is believed that, together with the high-efficiency industrial Cloud platform that has already been delivered but is still in user’s experience test period, these actions could largely improve the resource use efficiency for our industrial customers.
Dr. Zhang Jianfeng, the General Manager of SDS, addressed the opening ceremony. First, he expressed gratitude to all guests for every support and help they had been so kindly giving. Then, he proudly introduced a few new breakthroughs that SDS had achieved in service products this year. The first breakthrough is that a brand new LanGuang IDX Computing Room that’s designed and built according to the highest standard in the world is now open for official operation in Zhangjiang LanGuang Hi-Tech Park. Next to it, SDS has made great progress in constructing the SDS Finance Network, a special network based on fiber-optical data lines and fast transmission technologies. The SDS Finance Network can be connected with the online trading platforms of all domestic futures exchanges, and, in future, with more overseas trading platforms and overseas stock trading platforms. The third breakthrough is made in Cloud product. This year, SDS has launched VDC2.0, a hyper-converged Cloud computing platform that is based on Openstack and SDN technologies and supporting Docker, Kubernetes and other new technologies. We are confident that all those advances would bring greater support to the development of the futures industry.

Mz. Chen Xuemeng from Zhengzhou Esunny Information Technology gave a speech on ‘CZCE Shanghai Computing Room Construction and Planning’. In order to provide better services to its members, the CZCE and Esunny put up an ‘Access Point Convergence’ project to effectively reduce the time-delay in CZCE trading and quotation information delivery for investors in East China region and reduce the costs of communication links for all futures companies. It’s expected that, when the project is completed, the Esunny Computing Room would have the power of providing customers with the fastest and most stable access services in East China.
Mr. Zhao Yujie from Dalian Futures Information Technology (DFIT) delivered a speech ‘2018 DFIT Products and Services Report’. Currently, the DFIT has four high availability core trading systems that support futures and options transactions, including such trading orders as arbitrage trading orders, market-price orders, price-limit orders, stop P/L orders, FOK/FAK orders, as well as such matching models as call auction matching, forced liquidation matching, continuous auction matching, complicated arbitrage derivation matching, etc. In 2017, following closely the latest changes in the market, the DIFT launched a series of training programs in different models fitting different customer needs. In addition to traditional on-site presentations, we unrolled a range of online live training programs produced with new media technologies on Lizhiweike.com. All of them were well-received.

Mr. Bao Kai, Manager of Marketing and Sales of SDS, also delivered a speech, ‘SDS’s Pilgrimage in Futures Industry’. SDS was founded in 1999 but wasn’t able to find the right direction of development until 2006 when the announcement of Beijing hosting 2008 Olympics was released. It’s like a lighthouse directing SDS toward the self-transformation of a data center. After years of hard work, SDS has successfully built four data centers in Beijing and Shanghai and established itself as a leader of the industry. According to the standards and directives of China state financial regulatory authorities and the specifications given by financial trading technology companies, SDS devotes itself to the market calling for building function-intensive platforms, helping trading members reduce operational cost, developing more innovative interconnectivity channels for financial industry, and finally, with the kind support from the technology companies and trading members of Exchanges, worked out a unique financial platform for China. With the SDS Finance Network, any user could lay out its business operations at one place, enjoy all-market access, meet all communication needs of financial service industry, substantially lower investment in infrastructure construction, and enjoy an IT service featuring short time-delay and high efficiency.

RohonInfo and Fly Information, two excellent service providers in the industry, also gave an introduction of their industrial solutions. It’s been eight years since RohonInfo was founded. Currently, it is marketing products in three categories, i.e. platform products, training and analysis products and terminal products. This year, it would continue expanding its risk control business in cooperation with big futures companies and launch a series of new integrated solutions for customers. The Fly Information is one of SDS’s core cooperative partners. Focusing on developing supporting products for SDS’s IDX Cloud, it has now two product ranges around futures trading system and the alike, i.e. PaaS products (operating systems and database) and SaaS products (software services). Representing the Fly Information, Mr. Wu shared with audiences several cases about how it, in cooperation with SDS, helped futures companies to ‘Go Cloud’. Both RohonInfo and Fly would, joining hands with SDS, focus on serving the real economy and the Chinese futures market in line with state policies.
SDS takes it as its mission to help all futures exchange technology subsidiaries provide exchange members with high quality hosting services and fast communication platform support. As always, SDS will devote itself to offering customers operating in finance, futures, banking, payment clearing industries and World Top 500 companies with high-class datacenter services and other industry-leading and high quality IT services. It is our expectation that, with a ‘Professional Platform’ converging cutting-edge technologies of SDS and other excellent industrial technology service providers, SDS and its partners could realize and promote the cooperation and innovation in finance trading technology world to better serve the entire Chinese futures industry and, in particular, every user in the futures market, with the best possible service products.
