Brief
Calm, hard-wired, redundant.
Trading operations doesn’t tolerate noise, power dropouts, or vendor finger-pointing. The brief was a calm working floor with multi-monitor desks, sealed meeting rooms, hardened comms paths, and a redundancy plan written into the BOQ rather than discovered during operations.
Site reality
Baner Grade-A shell, single feed.
A clean Grade-A shell with one electrical feed and one ISP termination — neither acceptable for a trading operation. The design and procurement had to bring in a second feed, isolate the server room, and pre-cable the floor for a future expansion bay.
Design response
Acoustic separation by function, not just by department.
Voice rooms, recorded-call rooms, and silent focus rooms each got distinct acoustic specs — laminated glass, isolated ceilings, and floor-mounted partitions where required. The trading floor itself runs on a low-reverberation finish package: felt baffles, carpet tiles, soft joinery edges.
Execution
A second power feed and dual ISPs, commissioned before handover.
We coordinated with the landlord and DISCOM for a second feed and pulled it into a hardened LV room. Two independent ISPs were terminated on the same week with diverse paths into the comms room. Both ran through a 72-hour acceptance test before move-in.
Result
Operations cutover happened over a single weekend, with no rollback.
Flextrade cutover trading operations over one weekend. There was no rollback. The site has been operating continuously since.
