The LMC is said to provide a single access point to monitor and manage latency in large or geographically dispersed trading environments. Fully interoperable with all CorvilNet monitoring appliances, the LMC collects and summarizes statistics for latency, loss, and microbursts from multiple points to form a single consolidated performance view.
Corvil claimed that LMC’s centralized views allow users to quickly correlate service level violations with the underlying root cause even when the cause and effect are geographically separated. An intuitive graphical summary provides access to all service level violations over LAN and WAN trading infrastructure, with click-through root cause analysis based on CorvilNet’s Smart Packet Capture functionality.
In addition to this launch, Corvil has introduced a new appliance, the CNE-5400, for use in very high-performance 10 Gb/s environments. With 4 x 10Gb/s monitoring ports and 16TB of internal disk capture capacity, the 3U form factor CNE-5400 achieves a new industry benchmark of five million packets per second processing performance at an analysis granularity of one microsecond.
Donal O’Sullivan, vice president of product management at Corvil, said: “Our customers are rolling out next generation co-location trading architectures where latency management at microsecond precision is required both within co-los and between sites on a global scale.
In this environment, message rates are in the many millions per second and deployments can have tens to hundreds of Gb/s of bandwidth interconnecting the co-location sites. The 5400 is a direct response to the constantly increasing data volume, and the LMC will greatly aid the roll-out and management of these large and geographically dispersed deployments.”
