Operating within the demanding complexities of the trading environment, Quod Financial needed a monitoring solution for both hosted and on-premise solutions that provides complete IT infrastructure monitoring while also giving visibility over specific trading activity.
Quod’s IT teams need to be able to act pre-emptively to problems to mitigate any performance impact on trading systems in circumstances where any outage can result in large financial losses.
With this in mind, Quod Financial chose Geneos as their real-time monitoring tool in 2013. Geneos provides a single pane of glass view over servers, applications, networks, processes, latency, log files and market data. It also can be easily integrated into clients own monitoring solutions to give customer operations teams confidence in the performance and stability of their applications.
In their own words, ‘’Geneos provides automation and a single view at an
application, trading and hardware level, whereas other tools would require us to implement manual processes.’’
Over the years, Quod Financial has faced common technology challenges such as failed patch updates, market feed disconnection and orders not populating in their systems due to FIX session connection issues. All of these issues benefit from Geneos’s capabilities in real-time problem detection, reducing manual workflows and improving real-time visibility and alerts.
