The financial trading company uses SwiftWing Sirius systems to capture network packet data from main links throughout the trading day. The Sirius systems create one capture file per link per day without any filtering. After capturing, the Sirius platforms automatically process the files using the company's tools to create statistic reports for management. The capture files are then compressed, archived, and pushed to third party storage. The Sirius systems are on a scheduled, automated cycle to capture data each trading day.
