Connectivity overview
The Client's connection points may be located in any area accessible by telecom operators. Moscow Exchange team sets up and fully maintains customer's router configuration used to access the Exchange infrastructure.
Client chooses network carrier and leases dark fiber or L2VPN circuit to access MOEX infrastructure in main DC (Dataspace) or disaster recovery DC (M1). MOEX allocates a dedicated 1Gbps port on Exchange network equipment for each connection over ConnectME scheme.

Redundancy options
ConnectME service offers the following redundancy alternatives to meet customer needs:
- two independent connections to one MOEX data center;
- two independent connections to each of two MOEX data centers;
- single non-redundant connection to any data center of the customer's choice (in case redundancy is unnecessary or ConnectME is used as a backup for another connectivity solution)

Frequently asked questions on ConnectME service
What is the difference between ConnectME and Universal DMA Scheme?
- Within ConnectME solution the Client's traffic is isolated and transmitted via a dedicated circuit with a fixed configuration, Universal Scheme assumes transmitting traffic of all clients of one telecom operator through an aggregated channel.
- ConnectME solution may be organized with any telecom operator licensed in Russia, while Universal Scheme offers only a limited number of operators certified by MOEX.
- ConnectME offers flexible configuration for redundant connection while Universal DMA Scheme offers only two predetermined options: connection to the main and DR DCs via one telecom operator or failover connection via two telecom operators.

Universal DMA Scheme
Convenient network access to Moscow Exchange infrastructure via MOEX-certified providers' aggregated circuits.
MOEX offers two connectivity options to MOEX main and DR data centers:
- Basic scheme: connectivity through network cloud of one telecom provider. Automatic switchover to backup provider's circuit is supported on a network level.
- Failover scheme: connectivity through network circuits organized by two different telecom providers with automatic redundancy on a network level. In case one provider network is unavailable, the connection is automatically switched to another provider network.
Key Benefits:
- Access to all MOEX markets;
- Connection to MOEX main and DR data centers by default;
- Only MOEX approved telecom operators are supported for Universal DMA connectivity service.
Universal DMA scheme does not provide an access to MOEX UAT services.

Customer orders dedicated connection to MOEX infrastructure via certified network provider(s) or can order Universal scheme as an additional service to already existing connection.
Each of the certified NSPs operates dedicated network segment already connected to MOEX in main and DR data centers via aggregated channels, i.e. traffic of all clients of one NSP is transferred to Exchange through one port on MOEX network equipment.
