Key Features
Enterprise-Scale Network Analytics
- Provides streaming network packet capture and live analytics.
- Designed for businesses needing a bespoke but low-cost, fast-to-implement, self-managing solution.
- Captures full detail of network activity, providing actionable insights for performance improvement and service issue prevention.
Unlimited Visibility Point monitoring
- Unlimited monitoring of multiple Visibility Points. (A Visibility point is a location in an application or network from which we want to capture data.)
- Latency measurement between Visibility Points using methods like Point-to-Point or Multihop / Latency budget statistics and including fan out and alternate paths
Item persistence
- Unlimited monitoring of multiple Visibility Points. (A Visibility point is a location in an application or network from which we want to capture data.)
- Provides unlimited access to item information for Orders, Trades and any other type of transaction.
- Visualisation of items through VMX-Explorer. Standard Item Trace dashboards are supplied.
- Additional bespoke item trace views can be developed and provided
Core Data Feed
- Beeks’ Core Data Feed (CDF) provides a live streaming feed of data from VMX-Analysis and VMX-Capture.
- Allows users to further process decoded messages, analysed events and alerts for real time insight or long-term archival or analysis.
- Offers pre-filtering of messages to reduce volume
Reporting
- Reporting functionality is included in the Beeks App (part of VMX-Explorer). This allows the user to schedule and generate reports of defined dashboards.
- Additional bespoke reports can be defined to be generated on the server. All reports generated are accessible through the Beeks App Reporting functionality.
Decoders
- Wide library of decoders, including all Beeks Analytics for Markets, FX decoders, and bespoke special purpose decoders.
- Common market data and order entry decoders all come with protocol normalisation.
- Bespoke decoders can be added by you via Beeks Advanced Configurable Decoder (ACD) or by Beeks team.
Distributed Packet Capture
- Aggregates data from multiple sources, offering a single enterprise-wide view.
- Allows capture segmentation via VLAN or application-specific filters.
- Multiple capture sources can be combined into a single repository.
- Retention policies can vary by data class (e.g., UDP multicast market data for one week, TCP transactional data for one month).
- View packet capture data and statistics in VMX-Explorer
- Retrieve packet capture data using VMX-Prism REST API to integrate with customer infrastructure
Correlation and Association
- VMX-Analysis allows pluggable correlation logic to be coded and added to the application, to support very rich client-specific correlation strategies which can be executed in near real-time.
- Unlimited associations, including fanout, tick to order/order to tick, full transaction chaining (i.e. showing multiple related transactions alongside each other).
Open Standards
- Use Beeks REST API for portal or reporting style request/response access to analytics, or use a publish/subscribe streaming interface (Core Data Feed) for consumption of individual messages or ongoing big data system integration.
- Telemetry stream captured as timeseries in InfluxDB for easy access.
- Visualized with Grafana or other compatible tools.
- Data can be published to industry standard tools using Telegraf.
Beeks Support and Flexibility
- Fully supported by Beeks with flexible deployment options.
- Available on customer infrastructure or on Beeks Analytics as a Service
Key Benefits
Rapid Templated Deployment
- Uses a template of abstracted higher-level configuration concepts to drive the creation of the lower-level configuration of the VMX-Capture and VMX-Analysis components, ensuring a rapid, robust and scalable deployment.
Detailed Analysis
- Decodes trading protocols and normalises messages for consistent storage, enabling comparative performance reviews.
Performance Alerts
- Allows for setting performance thresholds and alerts to ensure a fast, reliable trading environment.
High-Quality Data Assurance
- Ensures incoming market data quality, quantifies bandwidth usage, and helps with future growth planning by analysing market data burstiness and volume trends.
