A platform carrying live forex and exchange market operations from a trading mobile app cannot run without a backup, which is why one ships in every tier.

A Backup Server is included in every TM9 license tier.

Backup Server.

The TM9 Backup Server is included in the Standard, Business and Express licenses.

Why it's standard

It ships in all three tiers rather than as an upgrade, so no license runs without one.

With the other servers

It completes the set alongside the Trade, History and Access servers.

Your rollout plan

How it fits your infrastructure is one of the things we go through before pricing is confirmed.

In depth

The Detail Behind It.

Three short notes on how this works day to day.

In practice

A backup server is only interesting on the day something fails, which is exactly why it is bundled into all three tiers rather than sold separately. No TM9 license runs without one, and no broker has to argue for it as an extra line on a quote.

Worth knowing

Having a backup server in every tier means recovery planning starts on day one rather than after an incident. How often backups run and where they are stored is decided with your infrastructure team during rollout.

Who it is for

Backup planning is read by the people responsible for continuity: technical leads and operations managers who need to say what happens if a component fails, before a regulator or a client asks.

Context

Where This Fits.

How servers & gateways sits inside the wider TM9 platform.

The server set

Behind every TM9 platform sit four server roles: the Trade Server carrying order flow, the History Server holding the record, the Access Server handling terminal connections, and the Backup Server. Standard and Business run one trade server, Express runs four. Gateways are the one piece quoted separately, added upon order.

The platform behind the terminals

Four server roles carry a TM9 deployment: Trade for order flow, History for the record, Access for terminal connections, and Backup for continuity. Standard and Business run one trade server each and Express runs four, while the other three roles stay constant across tiers. Gateways are ordered separately so each broker connects only the systems their business actually uses.

Good to know

Server roles are fixed across the tiers, with only the trade-server count changing: one in Standard and Business, four in Express. Gateways sit outside the bundle and are added upon order. Sizing, retention and backup arrangements are settled during the rollout call, before pricing is confirmed.
