Transaction Network Services (TNS) has entered into a new partnership to become a data vendor and connectivity provider with Spain’s principal stock exchange, Bolsas y Mercados Españoles (BME).
TNS can now offer market data and order entry access to the Spanish Equity Market SIBE platform (the exchange’s own electronic trading platform) as well as Mercado Español de Futuros Financieros (MEFF) derivatives.
BME manages all Spanish stock markets, operating Bolsa de Madrid, Bolsa de Barcelona, Bolsa de Bilbao, Bolsa de Valencia plus the derivates exchange MEFF.
TNS connects to BME via its BME London Hub in Equinix LD4 and Interxion LON1. These connections provide TNS clients with access to all BME systems and services located at its main site and DR site in Madrid.
“BME is a fantastic addition to our portfolio,” said Jeff Mezger, TNS’ Vice President of Product Management. “TNS brings extensive experience in managing multicast market data and in providing solutions which scale with ever-expanding bandwidth requirements. We have significantly invested in our data portfolio over the last few years enabling us to provide access to most European equities, including CBOE Europe, Euronext, LSE, Borsa Italiana, Nasdaq OMX Nordic, SIX Swiss and Vienna Stock Exchange. We can also extend BME access and market data to any location globally via our global backbone which has been designed to minimize network latency and packet loss.”
