LONDON, June 9 /PRNewswire/ --

CodeStreet, the leader in market data development and operations tools,
introduced the first fully integrated capacity planning and latency
benchmarking test solution for the RMDS platform, allowing financial firms to
use latency as the criteria for evaluating their infrastructure performance
under specific stress conditions. The capacity planning and latency
monitoring facilities are components of CodeStreet's Market Data Works (MDW)
suite.

As firms invest heavily to reduce latency, the means to verify, test and
plan for future market data volumes lags behind. CodeStreet's new capacity
planning and latency monitoring environment allows market data administrators
to simulate market conditions at specific loads, benchmark observed latencies
at these loads and monitor latencies all the way through to the desktop.

CodeStreet Market Data Metrics is able to stress test RMDS infrastructure
by simulating a high update rate feed handler by replaying recorded market
data at rates up to hundreds of thousands of updates per second. While
applying these tests, operators can monitor latency across the infrastructure
within the tool. Because Market Data Metrics monitors latency all the way
through the APIs, the latency observed will reflect what user applications
are likely to experience under similar loads.

The Market Data Metrics tool is wizard driven and easy to use.
Administrators can plan regular automated regression testing of their market
data environments to ensure that their infrastructures will perform at
anticipated market data rates.

Market Data Metrics includes the following latency-specific functions:
    -- Latency monitoring between points on the distribution infrastructure
       and from the exchange
    -- Auditing to review latency over past periods
    -- Alerting when latency limits are exceeded
    -- Charting of latency

solution, visit SIFMA Exhibit Booth 1522.
