Case Study: Global Bank & Financial Services Firm achieves 200% boost in feed handler performance with Corvil

Global bank boosts feed handler performance 200% with data-driven insights from corvil

A global banking and financial services firm (≈$4T assets under custody and ~$28B revenue in 2017) that provides market access across equities, fixed income, currencies, commodities and alternatives needed accurate ways to find performance bottlenecks in its custom market‑data distribution systems. Business stakeholders had data‑driven processes for optimization, but application logs lacked the fidelity to pinpoint issues in feed handlers and distribution infrastructure.

Corvil performed end‑to‑end analysis of the ticker plant to deliver cross‑layer visibility regardless of messaging/protocol changes, provided feed‑handler diagnostics and tick‑to‑quote validation of BBO responsiveness, and introduced workflows to accelerate isolation and resolution. Those insights justified a rebuild, validated phased improvements across hundreds of systems, and produced a 200% improvement in feed‑handler performance with measurable profit upside from timelier execution and faster mean time to resolve.
