1. Solution Overview

Reliable low latency performance is the key to success for service providers inter-connecting financial traders, broker-dealers, and market centers. Implementing best-in-class latency management within the network helps service providers ensure that their systems perform at the timescales that matter for trading applications. It also creates the opportunity to offer performance transparency to trading clients, thereby enhancing the value of connectivity services and strengthening their high-performance credentials.

Deploying the CorvilNet latency management system provides full performance visibility across your network for every packet of client traffic. CorvilNet also tracks short-timescale traffic loads at network entry and exit points, revealing the latency impact of client traffic and helping to ensure their connections are appropriately sized for their performance requirements.

Uniquely, CorvilNet correlates application behavior either within or between trading sites and interconnected parties, using patented techniques that are lightweight, scalable and secure. By deploying managed CorvilNet appliances in the market centers and trading sites that you inter-connect, you can also provide a full end-to-end performance view that eliminates the important blind-spots afflicting market participants today.

Example applications of CorvilNet include:

2. Low Latency Network Monitoring

Remove any possible question mark over your network's ability to maintain highly competitive low latency SLAs for end users.

• Track microsecond latency and loss across geographically-dispersed networks, using CorvilNet's scalable latency measurement architecture. View all results using configurable, centralized dashboards.
• Continuously verify performance against low latency SLAs. If violations occur, use CorvilNet's automatically triggered smart packet captures and advanced analytics to quickly identify root cause.
• Use CorvilNet's highly granular, congestion-aware load analytics to identify bottleneck points and upgrade requirements, for network speeds up to 10G.

3. Market Data Distribution

Manage market data latency and quality from your connected market centers across your network, ensuring low latency market data delivery to end consumers.

• Identify traffic microbursts and bandwidth requirements at ingress points and throughout the network, using CorvilNet's microburst detection features.
• Monitor microsecond latency across networks, servers and feed-handlers, ensuring that each component achieves tight latency performance targets.
• Verify data quality at each stage with market data sequence gap detection and advanced TCP performance analytics.

4. Order Execution

Deliver a best-in-class order execution platform by tracking latency across each connected market center and for each of your connected clients.

• Track order entry request/response times from each CorvilNet monitoring point - at ingress points from clients, egress points towards market centers, and internal server co-lo points.
• Integrate CorvilNet's latency measurements directly into your own internal applications using the system's real-time web services interface.
• Generate complete records of order-entry performance using CorvilNet's high-speed always-on packet capture - capturing all measured latency and performance analytics alongside network packets.
• Monitor trading connection availability and end-to-end performance using advanced TCP analytics specifically designed for trading.
