CME Group continues to finalize deactivation of legacy NEX EBS iCross connections
International derivatives marketplace CME Group continues to finalize the deactivation of legacy NEX EBS iCross connections used to access BrokerTec Stream, EBS Market and EBS Direct.
All clients who are still leveraging iCross connectivity should contact ECHO-RNET@cmegroup.com to finalize the migration of NEX EBS Direct services from iCross to RNet. CME RNet is the client-managed connectivity solution providing access to Relationship-Based Trading for both EBS Direct and BrokerTec Stream platforms.
Customers who migrated services onto CME Globex should have contacted Equinix to advise them to cancel their cross-connect agreement with Equinix. After that migration, customers will be able to cancel/disconnect the associated cross-connects supporting the legacy iCross connectivity.
Customers actively connecting to BrokerTec Stream will be contacted by CME Group to discuss migration planning.
CME Group offers customers access to its network from a set of connection options that enable reliable, robust, and cost-efficient access. CME Group’s network connects to the CME Globex Platform in Aurora and BrokerTec and EBS Globex Platforms in Secaucus and Slough.
CME Group’s offerings, GLink, EConnect, and Globex Hub, can be entitled to route to BrokerTec or EBS Globex Platforms in Secaucus and Slough as well as the CME Globex Platform in Aurora.
