Testing Software provides latency monitoring functions.

Press Release Summary:



Targeting financial firms, Market Data Metrics offers integrated capacity planning and latency benchmarking test solution for RMDS platform. It allows market data administrators to simulate market conditions at specific loads and benchmark observed latencies at these loads. Functions include monitoring latency between points on distribution infrastructure and from exchange, auditing to review latency over past periods, alerting when latency limits are exceeded, and charting of latency.



Original Press Release:



Market Data Capacity Planning and Latency Benchmarking in One Integrated Test Solution



NEW YORK, June 9 / -- CodeStreet, the leader in market data development and operations tools, introduced the first fully integrated capacity planning and latency benchmarking test solution for the RMDS platform, allowing financial firms to use latency as the criteria for evaluating their infrastructure performance under specific stress conditions. The capacity planning and latency monitoring facilities are components of CodeStreet's Market Data Works (MDW) suite.

As firms invest heavily to reduce latency, the means to verify, test and plan for future market data volumes lags behind. CodeStreet's new capacity planning and latency monitoring environment allows market data administrators to simulate market conditions at specific loads, benchmark observed latencies at these loads and monitor latencies all the way through to the desktop.

CodeStreet Market Data Metrics is able to stress test RMDS infrastructure by simulating a high update rate feed handler by replaying recorded market data at rates up to hundreds of thousands of updates per second. While applying these tests, operators can monitor latency across the infrastructure within the tool. Because Market Data Metrics monitors latency all the way through the APIs, the latency observed will reflect what user applications are likely to experience under similar loads.

The Market Data Metrics tool is wizard driven and easy to use. Administrators can plan regular automated regression testing of their market data environments to ensure that their infrastructures will perform at anticipated market data rates.

Market Data Metrics includes the following latency-specific functions:
o Latency monitoring between points on the distribution infrastructure
and from the exchange
o Auditing to review latency over past periods
o Alerting when latency limits are exceeded
o Charting of latency
