Decommissioning of Enhanced Transaction Solution gateway infrastructure
In June 2011, Eurex Exchange introduced new state-of-the-art hardware for the Enhanced Transaction Solution gateways and consolidated the new gateway infrastructure in the Equinix data center in Frankfurt.
As a result, gateway processing times of Enhanced Transaction Solution transactions for participants located in the co-location facility improved significantly.
In October 2011 Eurex Exchange completed its infrastructure migration with the consolidation of the host infrastructure also in the Equinix data center. Following the infrastructure migration, the remaining Enhanced Transaction Solution gateways located in Eurex’s secondary data center are no longer optimized for low latency or highest performance. The remaining gateway infrastructure will now be decommissioned from Monday, April 2, 2012.
Disaster Recovery
Trading participants currently making exclusive use of the co-location facility are also strongly recommended to consider a separate dedicated backup installation for disaster recovery purposes to cater for the unlikely event of a complete loss of the Equinix data center.
This circular provides more detailed information relating to the decommissioning of the old Enhanced Transaction Solution gateway infrastructure and provides additional information regarding the provision of a disaster recovery facility.
