As trading activity increases and new products are introduced it is essential to ensure your systems have the capacity to process the business. Excelian’s experience in analysing system bottlenecks and tuning systems allows us to advise our clients on best practice, capacity planning and system optimisation. Our system ‘health checks’ have helped many of our customers avoid production incidents and provided a framework for planning system growth and monitoring capacity on an on-going basis.
During a health check process Excelian can advise, provide or undertake the following:
- Compile detailed data on your system including:
- End of day and batch process
- Database size management
- Archiving and purging procedures
- Verification of static data
- Release procedures and change control
- OS and Database configuration and sizing
- Analysis of the collected data
- Benchmark against accepted best practices for your application and trading flows
- Deliver and discuss a summary report outlining the results of the analysis
- Recommend follow-up actions and resolutions
