Case Study: Borsa Istanbul achieves faster, more secure real-time market data distribution with Equinix

Borsa Istanbul enables real-time market data for international trading firms and data vendors

Borsa Istanbul, Türkiye’s national stock exchange, needed a secure, reliable, and cost-effective way to deliver real-time market data to international trading firms and data vendors, especially in London, without the expense and delay of leasing fiber lines between Türkiye and Europe. It turned to Equinix for virtual connectivity and digital infrastructure services to simplify access to its market data for members outside Türkiye.

Equinix implemented a virtual point of presence in London using Equinix Fabric and Equinix Network Edge, linking Borsa Istanbul’s infrastructure in Türkiye with Equinix facilities in Istanbul and London. The result was 40% lower connectivity costs, 400% higher data transmission continuity, and 40% faster packet delivery, while new participants could subscribe in minutes and network issues dropped by 99%.
