Greater control and visibility of trading infrastructures

Financial institutions rely on multiple trading systems to manage exchange connectivity, trade execution and market making. Business managers need to know that these systems are not only running but fully available and presenting the users with a true view of the markets they are operating in.

The inside view of trading applications

Geneos enables operations teams and business managers to gain greater control and gives them complete visibility of their trading infrastructure by looking inside the trading applications to determine that market data updates are occurring as expected during trading hours, check that connections to the market are being maintained and database capacity is sufficient for the day.

Geneos goes further and provides alerts on failed transactions giving business managers vital early warning of potential issues. These business metrics can be combined with infrastructure data allowing operations teams to take remedial action before there is any end user impact.

Latency monitoring, measurement and management

Geneos can look across trading systems and infrastructure:

• providing critical insight into latency, monitoring transaction flows, incoming market data feeds and underlying technology middleware transport systems
• identifying slow execution venues
• collating business-oriented performance metrics across hard-to-access, high-frequency trading applications, without impacting underlying performance
• delivering early warnings of potential problems and views of trading patterns across execution venues and trading platforms
• ensuring that required data enrichment and integrity checks are taking place during post-trade settlement and reconciliation processes.
