BT has joined forces with Corvil, a specialist in electronic trading latency management systems, to provide financial institutions with a network latency management solution.
As a part of the agreement, BT will leverage CorvilNet, a leading latency management system developed by Corvil that monitors, analyzes and optimizes electronic trading infrastructures against ultra-low latency objectives encompassing market data feeds and order execution traffic. In addition to CorvilNet, BT will provide a dedicated team of business consultants and IT specialists from its 10,000 strong Global Professional Services division that will analyze the reports, identify the hotspots and make recommendations to optimize a customer’s infrastructure.
In addition to expanding its efforts in network latency management, BT also remains committed to its existing low latency connectivity portfolio, which includes Radianz Ultra Access and Radianz Proximity Solution. Radianz Ultra Access enables sub-millisecond connectivity between brokers and execution and market data venues in New York and Chicago and soon London. Radianz Proximity Solution locates trading engines near execution venues to reduce market data and trading latency.
