Colt Unveils Market Data Monitoring System

Colt Technology Services has launched the Colt Market Data Monitoring System, providing Capital Market customers with greater transparency into their service and underlying digital infrastructure.

The user-friendly portal – the latest addition to Colt’s industry-leading Capital Markets portfolio – offers real-time insight into service performance for market data feeds and usage, enabling businesses to accelerate critical decision-making and response times to performance issues.

Designed by Colt’s software team to address the need for enhanced visibility into service performance, the Colt Market Data Monitoring System facilitates the monitoring of:

Bandwidth utilisation
Message rates
Dropped packets
A/B feed latency deltas

Businesses can generate analytics on data feeds and usage in the form of daily reports, driving informed, data-led decision-making across their organisations.

Fully-integrated with Colt’s services and fully managed by Colt, the portal is quick and easy to set up, providing a comprehensive but light-touch IaaS offering – utilising Colt infrastructure – for market participants looking for an enhanced perspective into their service. Service monitoring occurs within the exchange colocation and through the network, for comprehensive visibility.
