Case Study: Equiduct achieves scalable, unified high-performance monitoring with ITRS Opsview

Equiduct - Customer Case Study

Equiduct, a Regulated Market of Börse Berlin AG that provides a fast, cost‑effective pan‑European equities trading platform, needed a high‑performance, distributed monitoring system for its London datacenters. Launched in 2009 and majority owned by Citadel Securities and Knight Capital Group, the start‑up could not justify the cost or per‑node pricing of large proprietary monitoring vendors and anticipated rapid IT growth that required a scalable, unified solution.

After evaluating open source options, Equiduct chose Opsview Enterprise to extend Nagios Core with business‑group service definitions, trend analysis and SNMP trap processing, and to allow in‑house customization under support. The deployment delivered a single, unified view across hardware to real‑time applications, reduced training and staffing needs thanks to an easy interface, and provided scalable growth via Enterprise Modules, hundreds of Nagios/Opsview plugins and a subscription model that avoids per‑node penalties.
