How is the Service Managed and Maintained?
Setting up and maintaining this kind of visibility takes expertise. Corvil as a Service removes the need to hire and manage in-house Corvil experts to configure and maintain potentially complex Corvil instrumentation. Instead, Pico’s Corvil experts set up tailored dashboards and reports, and you get access to all the data, metrics and captures that you need. Pico manages the hardware life-cycle, monitoring appliance headroom and scheduling upgrades as required.

Quickly create a detailed report of trading activity and performance by selecting two things: The client and the time period of interest.
Corvil reporting is highly customizable allowing you to include the metrics you care about; from network layer stats such as retransmissions or zero window advertisements to order stats such as traded volume message counts and fill rates.
See infrastructure latency with flexible and intuitive live dashboards.
Explore and interact with the data. Quickly drill into events to investigate root cause, or select longer time periods to spot trends, performance patterns & anomalies.
When a client order experiences a high response time, or a market-data event takes too long to trigger an outgoing order, it’s important to understand precisely where the latency was introduced, so that remedial action can be taken.
With a single click, Corvil’s Multi-hop analysis, tracks a transaction through each hop of the infrastructure, including the associated response message in the reverse direction.
The results are displayed in a graphical sequence diagram, detailing the precise latency for each hop.
Drill down into market-data gaps, slow orders, bottlenecked clients.
Resolve issues fast with a single data set shared by network and application operations, backed by every packet and every decode, with the ability to search, filter and visualize from months to nanoseconds.
