• Define a transaction in a context that's meaningful to your business.
• Gain visibility of full order flow with matching of requests & responses, as well as bids & acknowledgements for all market data.
• Define critical key latency measurements
  
• Measure every business transaction on every step of its journey – 24/7.
  
• Present the data to illuminate the anomalies – you can see latency at every step.
  
• Extensive validation of the data to over 99.99% accuracy.
  
• Understand the data and act accordingly to solve the problems you can.

What’s more, today’s global trading is a volatile, around-the-clock environment. That’s why IT needs “always on” tools that act as 24/7 sentinels to measure trading latency. Whether your trading venue is domestic or global, SeaNet stands ready to guard against lost transactions and delayed response to your customers because you never know when that anomaly will occur.

SeaNet understands that high-volume, high-frequency trading is the most demanding environment for IP latency. That’s why we designed a highly scalable, client/server based, end-to-end latency solution especially for the financial services industry – exchanges, buy side, and sell side alike – that provides unprecedented insight into the “anatomy of a trade” in real time. As such, it enables more informed business decisions and faster resolution of customer issues by providing:

• Actionable insight for all transactions order entry, proprietary and market data– most importantly one-time anomalies.
  
• Visibility and correlation of application and network latency in full business context, bridging the gap between network operations and application support teams.
  
• A superior, more granular approach to latency measurement compared to averages or probability based systems, which hide one-time anomalies and lose accuracy. SeaView achieves 99.99 validated data capture in production.
• An extensible and distributed architecture design that balances processing performance to ramp up easily for smaller contained trading systems to high-volume and multi-tier application workflows across multiple datacenters and geographies.
  

In addition, SeaView gives IT exceptional flexibility in their tool choices because it supports all market data formats, middleware, and proprietary order execution. Once deployed, SeaView helps IT expedite the analysis of lost or delayed transactions by real time displaying of ticker symbols, price, customer ID, among as many as 20 or more hops or tiers over the life of a transaction.


Find your data. See your data. Trust your data. In seconds.

SeaView is a proven, highly scalable, end-to-end latency measurement solution that is delivering trading and transaction latency benefits to a growing number of leading exchanges and financial institutions. It can capture more than 400,000 messages per second and measure over 1 billion messages per day. SeaView combines detailed monitoring and analysis with the “always on” passive monitoring of 24x7 packet capture to meet the demands of high-volume, around-the-clock global financial trading environments.

The SeaView Difference: Deterministic mapping

Deterministic mapping is what sets SeaView apart from other trading latency solutions that have probabilistic mapping as their framework or fail to match and measure full request/response for each transaction. SeaNet understands that your customers experience problems with specific, individual transactions/orders/executions – and latency management is all about finding these anomalies quickly and understanding them in business context. Other approaches based on averages and probabilities suppress the anomalies you’re looking for.



SeaView is currently the only latency solution that will measure, store, analyze and report on every transaction deterministically in complete business context – “Tick to Trade” to include Comp ID, Source and Destination ID, ticker symbol, last price, Order Number and the entire Order Detail Chain – with an accuracy of +/-5 microseconds or better. That means you can find anomalies in seconds, not days, and be confident that you are working with trusted data.

Why SeaView? Because it is the original trading latency solution developed to meet the dynamic, quickly changing needs of financial services organizations and their customers. It’s not a “one size fits all” solution, but rather is purposely built for speed, flexibility, and scalability – and that’s what matters most when you need the answer to, “Where’s the trade?”
