Pico launched a new flagship appliance, the Corvil 10000, as part of its analytics business. The exponential increase in trading and data volumes, particularly since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, has accelerated the need for higher capacity infrastructure with up to four times faster initial uptake for 100Gbps deployments when compared to the previous transition to 40Gbps infrastructure.
The Corvil 10000 establishes a new high bar for sustained throughput, with Corvil’s real-time accuracy and granularity hallmarks, to support the ever-increasing trading and data volumes in financial markets. Highlights include:
- Sustained 100Gbps capture of packets for a forensic record of all network activity with real-time indexing to enable search, filter, and export of the packets of interest, on a single 2U unit
- Accurate record including native hardware timestamping and support for third party timestamping by the leading packet brokers, also sustained at 100Gbps
- Network Analytics for 100% of packets and flows – this includes TCP (transmission control protocol) analytics for all flows with no topping and gap detection for more than 400 feeds
- Publishing of all flow analytics in real-time into third party data repositories (e.g., ElasticSearch) with support for up to 8 million active flows
- Multiple storage configurations ranging from 92TB – 660TB are available offering capacity and price flexibility
Corvil Analytics is used by the world’s largest banks, exchanges, electronic market makers, quantitative hedge funds, data service providers and brokers and has a twenty plus year legacy in extracting and correlating technology and transaction performance intelligence from dynamic network environments. The Corvil 10000 continues this legacy delivering the ability to capture data at high speeds and high volumes while providing analytics and visibility to support the continuity of trading technology performance, execution and trading performance as well as quick and accurate responses to regulatory inquiries.
“The Corvil 10000 appliance marks a significant evolution that equips clients with the analytics throughput to take on current and future traffic rates. In context, this unit can capture the entire US equities market, and US futures market, including OPRA A and B feeds for gap detection on one single appliance,” said Roland Hamann, chief technology officer and head of APAC at Pico, in a statement.
