Keysight Technologies has expanded its financial capital markets portfolio by partnering with Instrumentix to introduce an advanced trade monitoring solution for financial markets.
Through the partnership, Instrumentix’s xMetrics flow monitoring and analytics tool has been integrated with Keysight Technologies’ market-data health and quality monitoring capabilities.
In addition, the alliance enables Keysight Technologies to deliver better trade visibility, covering optical taps, high-speed packet brokers, multicast gap detection, time synchronisation, and flow monitoring software.
According to Keysight Technologies, the new solution addresses critical challenges faced by financial institutions, including fragmented trade execution visibility and market data performance inefficiencies.
The collaboration is expected to deliver real-time, unified monitoring as well as analytics.
Besides, the integrated approach aims to help companies to easily discover and resolve performance bottlenecks, streamline trade execution, and ensure seamless operations, enhance profitability and maintain a competitive edge.
Keysight Technologies finance and capital markets vice president Kevin Formby said: “Where split-second decisions matter, xMetrics provides critical visibility into trade execution and infrastructure performance.
“The ability to provide the best-in-class trade flow monitoring software like xMetrics, both standalone and integrated into a packet broker, offers unique deployment flexibility that helps financial firms optimise their operations and ensure flawless execution.”
Instrumentix’s xMetrics software offers deep, real-time insights into order flows, market data, and infrastructure performance.
Its integration with Keysight Technologies’ high-powered network packet brokers (NPBs) delivers a unified dashboard for real-time market data monitoring and order execution to traders, exchanges, and other financial services providers.
The partnership also allows users to perform trade flow analytics directly on the packet broker, saving time and data centre rack space.
Instrumentix founder and chief technology officer Steve Hicks said: “Integrating xMetrics for execution analysis with network packet brokers capable of monitoring 400Gbps of line-rate market data feeds creates a powerful solution.
“This enables capital markets players to verify execution efficiency, ensure customer experience, and improve their operational performance.”
The xMetrics solutions are now available globally through Keysight Technologies. They can be deployed as standalone software or fully integrated with Keysigh Technologies’ Vision 400 NPBs.
