With cromos software at its heart, the DITS monitors and controls the total power system, including 11 kilovolt incoming supplies from the London Electricity Board, the standby generators and the two Essential Services uninterrupted power supplies.
The updated system consists of cromos2000 servers in a hot-standby configuration with three single-headed and one triple-headed cromos2000 workstations.
It allows the Stock Exchange to monitor and control the building services throughout, including air conditioning and chillers for the main dealing/trading computer system.
Installation will be completed later this month.
The original system, designed by Leicester-based Transmitton, consisted of a hot-standby cromos 320 Master Station with three workstations, 13 MT700 remote terminal units (RTUs) and a Mimic Driver RTU.
The Master Station graphics capability was upgraded in 1993/4, the mimic removed and a dual route for the RTU communications implemented.
Further modifications were made in 2003 allowing for an upgrade of the UPS and power distribution system, the addition of a new RTU, modifications to four other RTUs and the reconfiguration of the cromos 320 Master Station.
Transmitton project manager Ken Wogan said: "This is a very high-profile contract in view of the importance of the London Stock Exchange and we are delighted to be asked to continue upgrading the system.
This latest project is intended to enhance the existing system by bringing the platform up to date and providing for future requirements".
