Network Data Analytics to Run Electronic Trading Systems in the Now

Electronic trading firms use information technology to automate business operations at every stage of the trading process, from dissemination of news and market data, to order processing and forwarding, to trade execution and clearing. Automation makes these operations faster and more efficient, reducing trading costs and delays. It also makes firms more dependent on the performance and reliability of IT Operations, and creates challenges for application and network performance management. The close connection between IT Operations performance and business outcomes means that mismanaged networks and applications can translate directly to poor business results. When things go wrong, negative outcomes can accumulate rapidly. Predictability of outcome becomes critical to safe-guarding business performance

Electronic trading firms can benefit from an approach that combines business-level data and visibility with advanced performance management for the IT infrastructure.
