Hello,

I just saw this.

Is this available to individual trading groups or firms or just to FCMS?

Any idea on costs/fees?

Wouldn't this mean a sharp decline in business for the data centers at 350 Cermark including Equinix, since the CME is now moving its matching engines to a new data center in Aurora, IL

Thanks.

Thanks for posting that information.

CME operating its own Co-Location data center has to crush all the other Chicago co-location business.

EQIX down 25% after hours.

Rackspace getting hit too.

I hope they have a 30-foot moat around this facility, with archer turrets and an observation tower as me thinks having all servers co-loco'd in 1 place could invite those looking to return to the stone age to attack the castle.

Watch for Aurora, IL to turn into Dearborn, MI shortly.

Seems like it will cost about $15,500 to $19,000 a month for a 52U cabinet. There is also a non-refundable $10,000 deposit per cabinet.

Minimum space size is 1 cabinet.

Certainly above my budget.

Perhaps we could form a group and lease a cabinet? Does anyone know of any provider who plans to sub-lease space from the CME's new co-lo facility?

Thanks.

Given the limit number of Racks available, I can not imagine there will be anyone trying find sub-tenants for their space. I know of certain firm that applied for 5 racks already.
