Transaction Network Services (TNS) is continuing its European expansion as it courts high frequency trading.
The company has expanded its managed hosting services to the Equinix ZH4 colocation data centre, based in Zurich. This allows it to provide low latency connectivity to SIX Swiss Exchange, building on existing connections to BME, CBOE Europe, Deutsche Boerse, LME, Nasdaq Nordic, LSE and Euronext.
High-frequency traders rely on low-latency connectivity to take advantage of price differences ahead of competitors. Colocation is a popular strategy, with geographical proximity to exchanges providing faster access to market data.
Through providers like TNS, users are able to connect to exchanges directly and at speed, without the use of specialised internal infrastructures.
Zurich site users will be able to access SIX’s IMI (ITCH) market data feed, OUCH trading interface and quote trading interface. As part of TNS’s global wide area network, it is also connected to the FR2 Frankfurt and Bergamo data centres.
