Recorded Webinar: Optimising outsourced infrastructure for trading in fast markets

8 October 2019

In fast markets, you must move quickly to identify and fix any problems with latency, systems and algo performance, but what you cannot see you cannot fix. This begs the question of how trading organisations can see, understand and optimise their infrastructure as it interacts with fast markets to ensure optimal trading connectivity.

The answer is infrastructure instrumentation that provides continuous visibility and insight that empowers you to identify, understand and tackle problems in minutes rather than hours and days. However, implementing effective instrumentation can become more difficult as trading firms increasingly outsource their infrastructure and work with a growing number of external service providers.

Outsourcing and service providers must be responsive to clients and quick to solve problems. Yet too many are ill-equipped to provide the required visibility and transparency. Even when they have reasonable infrastructure instrumentation, this is often poorly aligned with the needs of the business users of the services they offer.

How can firms using outsourcing and service providers, that are already taxed by a lack of investment and skills, obtain the continuous visibility and insight needed to get trading connectivity, and their businesses, back on track?

Listen to this webinar to find out about:

  • Trading and business needs for visibility into infrastructure in fast markets
  • Tools and solutions that monitor and analyse internal infrastructure
  • Instrumentation approaches for monitoring outsourced infrastructure and external services
  • The business case for visibility as a service
  • How to use visibility to deliver competitive advantage
