Alpha Trading Systems has selected CorvilNet to actively manage and assure low latency across its exchange infrastructure.

The firm was particularly taken with CorvilNet's microburst detection feature that will be used to identify and manage transient traffic spikes in their infrastructure. CorvilNet's latency analytics will provide Alpha with visibility of performance affecting short-term events.

"We chose Corvil because the growth of our market and the evolution of trading activity in Canada, for example increased high frequency trading, demands greater visibility and transparency into the operations of our market place" says Karl Ottywill, Alpha's CIO.  "As Alpha continues to grow its Financial Eco-System and related value add services, requirements to continually monitor the network backbone will grow with it.  Corvil is the right fit for our needs," added Ottywill.
