Data Center Overheating Causes Nasdaq to Halt Trading for Over 10 Hours, Backup Data Center Not Deployed

BlockBeats News, November 29th. On the night of November 27th to the early morning of the 28th local time, a critical data center used by the CME Group in the United States experienced a more than 10-hour service interruption due to overheating. It is reported that this critical data center is located in Aurora, a western suburb of Chicago. After a cooling equipment failure, the temperature in the data center rose to nearly 49 degrees Celsius, exceeding the industry's maximum temperature threshold of about 48%, resulting in the service disruption.

It is currently unclear why CME Group did not activate its backup data center in the New York area. Some insiders speculate that the reason may be that large traders quoted by CME Group have insufficient technical infrastructure at the backup data center and therefore prefer to wait for the Aurora facility to be restored.
