Accedian Networks has broadened its financial services technology portfolio with the introduction of its FSX data packet capture solution.
Accedian’s FSX complements its ability to monitor latency, microbursts, and international financial extranet performance. It brings lossless remote packet capture to financial service providers’ to help them achieve trade flow reporting compliance.
Accedian’s FSX uses its FPGA-based technology to precisely identify, capture and timestamp each trading packet in real time, from any location within a financial network. This provides the unprecedented capability to easily instrument financial networks to meet MiFID II regulatory compliance. With both 1G and 10G network connections, the FSX and can be deployed out-of-line to seamlessly integrate into networks at any point in the traffic flow, without impacting performance. This provides agility and flexibility to operators needing to accommodate multi-vendor legacy networks and systems.
First introduced to the financial services market, Accedian’s remote capture technology also has applicability for the largest and most innovative communication service providers who already use Accedian solutions for mobile backhaul, data center and hybrid cloud access performance assurance. Lossless remote packet capture applications include:
• QoE and QoS analysis (including VoLTE & video services)
• Security & Policy enforcement
• Payload inspection & lawful intercept
• Synchronisation monitoring
“Accedian continues to expand the agility and depth of its solutions’ quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) visibility with the FSX’ unique remote capture capabilities,” said Keith Donahue, Accedian’s VP Product Management and Services. “As financial and communication service providers increasingly rely on a ubiquitous instrumentation layer to monitor, control and optimize user experience, the combination of ultra-precise, fine-grained monitoring with packet capture provides a complete, real-time view into all aspects of network behavior.”

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
