Introduction of the Co-location 2.0 service and optimisation of back-end network infrastructure to improve market data distribution and access to the high frequency gateways

As previously announced in Eurex circular 010/17, Eurex Deutschland and Eurex Zürich AG (collectively: the Eurex Exchanges) are planning to implement the Co-location 2.0 service which will ensure a state-of-the-art and more predictable technical infrastructure set-up within the Eurex Exchanges’ Co-location facility. The launch of the Co-location 2.0 service is currently planned to take place on 29 May 2017 prior to the launch of the T7® Release 5.0 which is scheduled for 19 June 2017.

In preparation for the launch of the Co-location 2.0 service and optimisation of the back-end network infrastructure, extensive infrastructure changes will be made by replacing the distribution layer of the overall network. A large number of Participants and a broad range of services, in particular market data distribution and the access to the high frequency gateways, are affected. To minimise operational risk, these infrastructure changes are scheduled to take place on two consecutive weekends, 29 April 2017 and 6 May 2017.

Following the changes, a connection test with technical support will be provided between 16:00 CET and 18:00 CET giving Participants the opportunity to verify their connectivity. Participation in the connection tests is highly recommended for all affected Participants and Multi-Member Service Providers.

This circular provides information on the Participants and services affected by the infrastructure changes and the respective connection tests. If you have any questions regarding the infrastructure changes, please contact your Technical Key Account Manager via your VIP number or send an e-mail to: cts@deutsche-boerse.com.
