Clients use CorvilNet for precision monitoring, troubleshooting and reporting of their application and network performance. CorvilNet provides unprecedented visibility into short timescale events that contribute to the underlying cause of many end user experience issues.. more
In technology intensive trading environments there is no ‘silver bullet’ that can eliminate the risk of faults and accidents. Operators instead rely on multiple, individually imperfect, layers of protection to reduce the chance of technology failures. In this whitepaper we explain the barrier or “Swiss Cheese” model of accident causation, the implications of the model, and how trading firms can use independent system monitoring to create an effective additional barrier against technology risk... more

Network latency also remains a critical factor... more

There are many approaches to, and techniques for, managing the performance of high-end applications, but the foundation they all must be built on is precise instrumentation. If you don’t know how your application is actually performing, then you can’t ensure it meets your needs; if you don’t know what the infrastructure it runs on is delivering, then you can’t ensure that it is properly resourced and provisioned to support the application. .. more
