CME Group DR Datacenter Migration and Test

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.
