Connectivity Alternatives

As our clearing processes take place on two different systems - the CCP system and the Eurex® system - Eurex derivatives Clearing Members need connections to both systems.

In order to provide Members with greater flexibility, we let our Members choose between several access alternatives to the Clearing House. Eurex derivatives Clearing Members may use the services of a Multi-Member Front-End Operator, as well as leased lines, internet connections, or a combination of both. If you are using a leased line connection, we require a back-up connection in order to ensure consistent and robust access to the market. The back-up connection must have the same bandwidth as the principal line and can also be an internet connection.

Therefore, each Eurex derivatives Clearing Member is obliged to connect to the Clearing systems (the CCP system and the Eurex® system) using at least (minimum requirement) one of the following alternatives:

• Using the services of a Multi-Member Front-End Operator (former Multi-Member Miss-Provider)
• Using a leased line combined with a back-up leased line
• Using a leased line combined with a back-up Internet line
• Using two separate Internet lines

If you already have existing connections to the Eurex derivatives trading environment, it is possible for you (if applicable) to use these connections for your Eurex Derivatives Clearing Licence.

Besides, Eurex Clearing offers an additional service providing access to its „Enhanced Risk Solution” interface through which members can subscribe to risk-data (position and margin data) conveyed in real-time for derivatives and near real-time for other asset classes.

Please consider that the Eurex Technology Roadmap pursing the Deutsche Boerse Group IT strategy aims to replace the VALUES API and the MISS-based architecture in the mid-term.
