Corvil's streaming analytics platform now is available with a full connection to kdb+, a high-performance database available from Palo Alto, California-based Kx Systems.
This enhancement allows Corvil’s rich, real-time insights from wire data to be stored in kdb+’s powerful and flexible database. Taking advantage of kdb+’s speedy search and analytics capabilities, Corvil can now provide further insight into network and application performance over longer historical time periods. Corvil’s extensive monitoring and analytics capabilities and kdb+’s prolific storage and easy access combine to create a new, detailed, easily searchable resource of historical wire data for the most demanding financial markets.
Today, it is operationally essential that IT departments have a system that allows fast access to years and terabytes of historical data. Corvil already has the ability to record data as it monitors it in real-time, but the connection with kdb+ gives Corvil a world-class storage solution for its world-class analytics.
“Financial markets are always seeking more and more powerful insights drawing on the huge amount of data they have access to,” said Janet Lustgarten, CEO of Kx Systems. “By using kdb+ in its platform, Corvil customers can now take advantage of the speed and power of kdb+ for capturing streaming, real-time and historical data.”
This exciting connection now makes it possible to offload the data collection function from servers in the critical path. Typically, log files containing details of each trade or server installed agents would provide kdb+ with the raw data. By using Corvil, server-based collection can be turned off, thus removing a processing overhead and management burden. Instead, data is collected directly from the wire, recorded with high fidelity hardware timestamps and fully analyzed in real-time. Corvil also takes care of different wire protocols and data structures, forwarding a normalized and enriched stream of metrics into kdb+ for storage and further analysis.
“We’re seeing a very interesting pattern of historical data from the wire becoming a strategic resource for some of the world’s biggest and most integral businesses,” said Donal Byrne, CEO of Corvil. “kdb+ has been the financial world’s foremost database software, and alongside Corvil as the most complete, trusted source of wire data analytics, this connection will allow users to examine years worth of detailed wire data to garner incredible business insights.”
“Kx has one of the fastest databases on the block, making it suitable for real-time analytics as well as the analysis of historic data,” said Jason Stamper, Analyst, 451 Research. “Corvil’s new streaming analytics connector for kdb+ should be well received among the two companies’ household name customer base in the Financial Markets vertical.”

Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
When most people think about cybersecurity, they picture firewalls, encryption, and access controls — technical tools designed to protect systems and data. But beneath the technology lies a deeper set of principles about trust, decision-making, and resilience ... The best leaders don't eliminate risk. They manage it intelligently. And in many ways, cybersecurity offers a surprisingly useful playbook for doing exactly that ...
