The Detail Subledger (DSL) is targeted to become the central component of Morgan Stanley's firmwide books and records and control architecture.

The DSL will be developed using state-of-the-art technologies and software development techniques, and will support processing in excess of 200M events p/day, covering all asset classes and trading desks in the firm.
