Data Center Cooling Failure Sparks CME Outage
1 Dec
Summary
- CyrusOne installed extra cooling capacity at Aurora data center.
- A cooling system failure caused an hours-long CME Group outage.
- Operations have been restored with enhanced cooling redundancy.

CyrusOne, a data center operator, has significantly upgraded its Aurora, Illinois facility by installing additional backup cooling systems. This action comes after a critical cooling system failure last week led to a prolonged outage affecting CME Group for several hours.
The company confirmed that stable operations have been restored at its Chicago 1 (CHI1) data center in Aurora. To prevent recurrence, CyrusOne has incorporated further redundancy into its cooling infrastructure, aiming to enhance operational continuity.
This development addresses the recent disruption that impacted CME Group's services. The enhanced cooling measures are intended to provide a more robust and reliable environment for data center operations moving forward.
