CME Group Connectivity Options

Please refer to a comprehensive description of Production Connectivity Offerings.

Disaster Recovery Scenario

In normal operating conditions, the CME Group data center in Aurora, IL, houses all Shared Services and Clearing. The CME Group data center in NY5 houses BrokerTec US markets on CME Globex. The CME Group data center in LD4.2 houses BrokerTec EU markets on CME Globex. Clients cannot access DR facilities during normal operating conditions.

...

Therefore, some customers may want or require local DR connectivity.  These customers can order ports in DR locations, Secaucus (NY5) or Aurora (DC3).  These ports under normal circumstances will connect to production environments in Slough and Secaucus, respectively.  In a failover situation these ports will connect to the DR platform situated in the same location as their ports, Secaucus and Aurora.  BrokerTec US customers wanting local DR connectivity can order a Globex Hub – Aurora service.  BrokerTec EU customers can order GLink – Secaucus and EConnect NY5 services in Secaucus.
