Market Maker Optimizes Execution
Challenge
Increasingly Complex and Volatile Market Data Services Impacting Execution
- Traditional market data and real-time, structured news feeds shared the same distribution infrastructure but had varied volume and volatility characteristics
- Market data volumes were even more unpredictable during peak news event activity, complicating real-time capacity management
- Ultra-low-latency technologies require precise visibility and analysis to support effective infrastructure operations
Solution
Analytics to Optimize Market Data
- Insight into market data gaps and other quality issues across all incoming third-party feeds
- Visibility into health and performance across feed handlers and feed distribution devices, searchable by feed, by symbol
- Infrastructure and application performance and capacity insights to optimize data delivery
- Workflows to accelerate identification, isolation, and resolution of market data quality or infrastructure performance degradation
- Tick-to-order correlation and analysis to enable algorithm and trade strategy optimization
- Independent, precision time-sequenced market data records for quantitative analysis and to serve as evidence for stakeholder inquiries
