CME BrokerTec Disaster Recovery Process

This topic describes the recovery process in the event that CME BrokerTec EU Markets or CME BrokerTec US Markets transitions to their Disaster Recovery environment.

The figure below represents the data centers that support the CME BrokerTec EU Markets and US Markets Production and Disaster Recovery environments.

A CME BrokerTec EU Markets or US Markets DR event occurs when CME Group switches client system processing from the CME BrokerTec EU Markets or US Markets Production environment (CME LD4.2 for EU Markets or CME NY5 for US Markets) to the CME BrokerTec EU Markets or US Markets DR (CME NY5 for EU Markets or CME Aurora for US Markets) environment. This environment provides a redundant standby system upon the failure or abnormal termination of the CME BrokerTec EU Markets or US Markets Production environment.

CME Group will support a 2-hour Recovery Time Objective (RTO) for CME BrokerTec EU Markets and a 4-hour Recovery Time Objective (RTO) for CME BrokerTec US Markets.

If a disaster event occurs, CME Group has divided a timeline of the process into four states. Using these states, CME Group describes information about the products and services, capabilities and limitations that will occur for a disaster event.
