l CASE STUDY l
Customer Profile
This large multinational financial services corporation is in the business of managing financial
exchanges and marketplaces. The corporation also offers end-to-end data services and
solutions to support the trading, investment, risk management, and connectivity needs of
customers across major asset classes. Thousands of employees work out of offices around
the world transforming global markets and generating revenue of more than $3 billion dollars
annually. Financial trading is highly dependent on the digital environment for research, customer
relationship management and trading execution, thus the performance of their hybrid cloud
environment is extremely important.
The Challenge
This organization's biggest challenge was delivering a seamless monitoring experience despite
rapid growth and multiple business acquisitions. There was a real need to standardize on a
single solution that met all their needs to gain end-to-end visibility across the organization and
assure service quality. NetOps additionally needed actionable intelligence based on current
application activity and performance to help them plan for sufficient capacity to accommodate
unpredictable trading markets traffic.
As a financial services organization, it's critical to have visibility into any connectivity issues
end-users may experience on the trading platform. Missing a stock trade, even by milliseconds,
could cost end-users millions of dollars. Visibility throughout the hybrid cloud environment
was also needed to help research and resolve end-user's trade disputes with the various
trading platforms.
