Disaster recovery testing on 24 July 2021

Dear MOEX clients,

• 11.30 – 12.30 – DSP failure emulation: network access to DSP will be cut down.

Part II. Continuation of trading day at M1 datacenter:

• 12.30 – 13.00 – Clients connect to trading systems at the M1 (All trading systems will be unavailable from colocation zone at the DSP datacenter and ConnectME schemes terminated at the DSP datacenter during this stage)
• 13.00 – 14.00 – Continuation of trading day for all trading systems. M1 runs as primary datacenter, DSP datacenter is unavailable.

Part III. Production configuration restoration:
