TORONTO — Canada’s main stock index will be open for business on Monday, after an unusual outage prompted the S&P\/TSX to shut down early on Friday.<\/p>\n
An “internal technical issue” prompted the TMX group to shut down its exchanges in Toronto and Montreal at 3 p.m. Friday, with the last data reading showing the S&P\/TSX up 31.34 points at 15,668.93.<\/p>\n
In a statement Saturday, TMX says the outage was caused by a “hardware failure in a central storage appliance.”<\/p>\n
The company says it began fixing the problem Friday afternoon by replacing the defective module and verifying the integrity of the affected data.<\/p>\n
It says that due to the timing of the incident, it was impossible to implement disaster recovery systems in time to reopen on Friday.<\/p>\n
TMX says the incident was not the result of a cyberattack.<\/p>\n
“We apologize to all of our valued clients across Canada’s capital markets and around the world,” TMX CEO Lou Eccleston said in the Saturday statement.<\/p>\n
“TMX is committed to applying the lessons learned from this incident to help us prevent such issues from recurring in the future.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
