Beeks Financial Cloud Group announced on 22 September 2025 that it has signed an agreement with TMX Datalinx, the information services division of TMX Group. Under the deal, Beeks’ Exchange Cloud® platform will power TMX Elastic Market Access (TMX EMA), subject to regulatory approval.
The arrangement enables TMX Datalinx to deliver co-located Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) to its clients, strengthening Beeks’ global presence and proving the appeal of cloud-powered trading infrastructure. TMX EMA will be a fully managed solution tailored for capital markets, focusing on secure, low-latency, and scalable hosting.
This collaboration highlights the growing adoption of cloud-based services by major exchanges, offering trading participants faster, more cost-efficient, and more flexible access to market infrastructure.
Through the new service, clients will gain access to bare metal compute, dedicated connectivity, and on-demand infrastructure inside TMX’s co-location facility. These capabilities are designed to help firms operate in a more agile and cost-effective manner without sacrificing the speed and reliability critical to high-performance trading strategies.
By integrating Beeks’ Exchange Cloud®, TMX Datalinx can accelerate deployment times for its customers while providing proximity-based hosting solutions that reduce latency. For trading firms, faster time to market is a key advantage in maintaining competitive positioning.
The solution effectively bridges the benefits of colocation with the flexibility of the cloud, offering market participants a hybrid model that suits both high-frequency and data-driven strategies.
Gordon McArthur, CEO of Beeks Group, said: “We are delighted to welcome TMX Datalinx to our growing community of Exchange Cloud users, empowering them to offer clients scalable, secure and low latency compute environments from within their co-location facility.” He emphasized that TMX Datalinx’s adoption validates Beeks’ ability to meet the demands of global financial exchanges.
Michelle Tran, President of TMX Datalinx, added: “Our goal is to make accessing Canada’s markets as seamless and efficient as possible, and our planned TMX Elastic Market Access service is a direct response to client demand for more flexible and scalable trading infrastructure.” She highlighted that by partnering with Beeks, TMX will be able to offer proximity-based virtual colocation that reduces deployment times.
Both leaders underscored how this partnership aligns with broader industry trends, where exchanges are increasingly looking to cloud solutions to meet demand for flexibility, scale, and efficiency without compromising on speed and security.
For Beeks, securing TMX Datalinx as a client further validates its Exchange Cloud® offering and demonstrates its traction with global exchanges. The agreement reflects a growing appetite among market operators to adopt flexible IaaS solutions rather than relying solely on in-house infrastructure.
For TMX, the adoption of TMX EMA enhances its ability to attract international participants by offering modern, cloud-enabled services alongside traditional exchange capabilities. This dual offering strengthens its competitive positioning against other global exchanges that are also experimenting with cloud deployments.
The deal underlines the broader industry trend toward hybrid infrastructure models — where colocation, dedicated hardware, and cloud flexibility converge to meet the evolving needs of capital markets.
