The MT4 trading service and the App server were down from 7:05 to10:25 (GMT+1) on 18 April 2021 (Sunday), resulting in users being unable to log in to our trading platform and conduct trading activities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cause of the incident<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As an internationally recognized broker with multiple regulated entities, ZFX\u2019s main servers are centrally hosted in London’s top data center, Equinix. During the time of the incident, Equinix data center was carrying out a power system upgrade. Unfortunately, the internet network provider that we connected to, did not notify us of such maintenance actions in relation to the power system upgrade of Equinix. As a result, our network engineers were unable to take any measures in time to arrange for a backup power supply to our server rack, which causing the server to go down unexpectedly. (Click here<\/a> for the power maintenance email notification sent by Equinix to the network provider.) <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
