On 19th September 2016, ASX encountered issues with their equities trading system, ASX Trade, which limited trading for the day to less than three hours.
The primary issue arose from a hardware failure in the main database used by the system. This had a number of knock-on consequences that affected the operation of the market. These included a delay to the market open and the decision to close the market early due to ongoing issues that impacted the proper functioning of the trading platform.
