On Thursday, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. put on hold a planned $1.3 billion mortgage bond sale for data center operator CyrusOne. This decision came after a cooling system malfunction occurred at a critical data center backed by Goldman Sachs, which is operated by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). The failure disrupted operations at one of the world's largest derivatives exchanges for more than 10 hours. The data center, managed by CyrusOne and situated in Aurora, Illinois, acts as a vital hub for derivatives trading worth trillions of dollars. Due to the outage, CyrusOne's refinancing agreement, initially set for pricing this week, has been postponed, with a potential resumption in the first quarter of next year. In recent times, investors have funneled hundreds of billions of dollars into AI-driven data centers. This incident serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting that data center lease agreements are not immune to cancellation, as persistent disruptions could activate termination clauses.
