Subject Remote Data Center (RDC) Continuity Testing - May 8th, 2004 and May 15th, 2004
Notice Date 2004-04-01
Notice Number CMO#0025
Effective Date  

CME has, once again, rescheduled the test for member firm connectivity to our Remote Data Center (RDC), on two Saturdays:  May 8th and May 15th.  This test was originally scheduled to begin on March 27th, but was postponed due to the unavailability of several firms.  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 acces 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

Please view the attached notice for more information.

Thank you.
