Effective Date |
CME has scheduled another test for member firm connectivity to our Remote Data Center (RDC), which will begin on Saturday, March 27th. A full clearing cycle test will be conducted the following Saturday, April 3rd. This test was originally scheduled for October, 2003, but was postponed because of the Common Clearing Link implementation. Please be aware that testing to our RDC is mandatory for all CBOT firms and those CME firms that did not participate in our last test conducted in August 2003. However, all other firms are welcome to participate. This testing is critical to ensuring that firms can access the RDC, in the event that CME must failover to this location, due to an emergency. This important notice addresses the following information related to testing: · Three components of testing and related dates · Network IP address information · Testing Contacts · Attached PowerPoint presentation for easy reference Please view the attached notice and PowerPoint presentation for more information. Thank you.
