"This transaction allows us to enter into a long-term lease to meet our datacenter needs while focusing our resources on what we do best─running our exchanges, providing global risk management and offering a broad range of technology services," said CME Group CFO John Pietrowicz, in a statement. "Further, by entering into this relationship with CyrusOne, CME helps to ensure that our customers will have cost-efficient access to an even broader set of infrastructure and data services, including disaster recovery, cloud access, data storage and high-performance computing."
For CyrusOne, the latest acquisition, which is roughly 428,000 square feet, increases its portfolio of datacenters to 33.
"The acquisition-leaseback of this facility offers unique advantages to our customers involved in the global financial markets by providing connectivity to those transacting on the CME Globex platform," said Gary Wojtaszek, president and CEO of CyrusOne, in a statement. "With this facility, and with CME Group as our tenant, we are excited to have the opportunity to expand the global risk management campus incChicago—the preeminent financial services co-location hub in the industry—which will be a cornerstone of our unique and rapidly growing datacenter platform."
