CME Group is pleased to announce the move and upgrade of our backup datacenter as part of our commitment to the protection of our customers. Last year, we completed the migration of our Disaster Recovery clearing systems, and we are now focused on CME Globex and supporting systems. To ensure customer can connect to our new backup datacenter, CME Group will be holding mock disaster recovery testing on Saturday, September 10.
Please Note: Customers do not need to test from Disaster Recovery – please plan to stay in your production environment.
Customers must register in advance to participate. Please review the mock trading script for additional details.
As a reminder, CME Group internal testing in the Production environment can occur during the weekend. Any trades or market data generated during these tests should be disregarded.
Clients can connect to CME Globex services beginning at 10:30 a.m. Central Time (CT) Sundays to prepare for weekly start-up. Clients should ensure all services are disconnected by 5:00 p.m. CT Fridays to avoid receiving internal test data.
CME Group Trading and Clearing Hours are also available on the CME Group website.
