Introduction of new Eurex trading architecture in Q4/2012

Eurex is continuously improving and extending its exchange infrastructure. In 2012, Eurex will go a considerable step further by introducing a completely new Eurex trading architecture for derivatives trading.

Subject to the required legal approvals the production launch of the new Eurex trading architecture is scheduled for December 3, 2012, followed by a product migration phase during which products will be moved in a stepwise approach from the current Eurex® system to the new trading platform.

The new platform is designed to meet the highest demands for throughput, reliability and ultra-low latency and offers a number of functional enhancements and extensions. The new trading platform will also introduce a new interface landscape replacing the existing trading interfaces while proven design concepts will be kept.

This circular provides participants with information on the major concepts of the new Eurex trading architecture and the high-level implementation plan:
- Functional overview of the new trading platform
