Cboe Summary Depth Disaster Recovery

Users of Cboe Summary Depth that are interested in disaster recovery must maintain connectivity to the Cboe Disaster Recovery (DR) site in Chicago, IL. To establish new connectivity to the DR site, contact the Cboe NOC.

The Cboe Summary Depth feed that is disseminated from the DR site connects to the Cboe PITCH service sourced in the DR site. It serves the same data as is distributed from the Cboe Primary site in Secaucus, NJ all day long, so Cboe Summary Depth customers can fail-over to or utilize the Cboe Summary Depth feed out of the DR site at any time. However, note that sequence numbers are not guaranteed to be the same between the Primary and DR sites.

The Cboe DR site is designed to support Cboe Summary Depth in the following DR scenarios:

1. Hardware failure in the primary Cboe Summary Depth system. Customers always have the option to switch to the DR site at will if they don't want to wait for remediation of failed hardware in the Primary datacenter to take place.
2. Failover of the Cboe platform to the DR site. The Cboe Summary Depth feed in the Primary site currently only connects up to PITCH within the Primary site. If the respective exchange fails over to the DR site, then the Cboe Summary Depth feed out of Primary site will not be able to disseminate updates from the exchange's PITCH feed in the DR site. In this scenario, customers should take the Cboe Summary Depth feed out of the DR site to regain full coverage.
3. Loss of the Cboe Summary Depth input feed. Similarly to scenario #2, if Cboe experiences a PITCH dissemination issue at the Primary site, but PITCH market data is valid at the DR site, then Cboe Summary Depth customers have the option to switch over to the DR Cboe Summary Depth feed to regain full coverage.
