InstrumentiX secures Keysight Technologies investment to advance trading infrastructure monitoring worldwide
Collaboration strengthens an existing partnership, combining InstrumentiX analytics with Keysight’s global distribution and support presence and complementary visibility technologies to deliver integrated solutions for financial institutions
LONDON, United Kingdom and SANTA ROSA, Calif.: , Oct. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InstrumentiX, an award-winning provider of trading infrastructure monitoring and analytics, today announced that Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a global technology leader in design, test and network visibility solutions, has acquired a strategic stake in the company. Keysight’s targeted investment underscores InstrumentiX’s market-leading innovation and deepens the companies’ strategic partnership, accelerating development and expanding adoption of advanced monitoring solutions across capital markets.
Across the industry, financial institutions are struggling with legacy monitoring systems that cannot keep pace with the speed and complexity of today’s markets. InstrumentiX addresses this challenge with xMetrics®, a modular platform built specifically to overcome these limitations. It provides banks, brokers, exchanges and proprietary trading firms with real-time visibility across their trading infrastructure, helping them optimise performance, meet regulatory obligations and improve client service. xMetrics® can also be integrated with existing systems where required, providing firms with a flexible pathway to modernisation. The platform is additionally available as a managed service, already proven in mission-critical deployments for major global institutions.
“InstrumentiX was founded to give trading firms the depth and flexibility of analytics they need to manage performance in real time,” said Steve Hicks, Founder and Chief Technology Officer at InstrumentiX. “Keysight’s investment validates that vision and equips us with the scale to accelerate innovation and reach new markets. Just as importantly, Keysight brings proven products such as their taps, packet brokers and best in class FPGA-based market data gap detection solution, along with a trusted global deployment and support organisation. That combination gives our customers additional confidence that xMetrics® is backed by a world-class partner, ensuring faster deployments, stronger service and the ability to expand seamlessly as their needs evolve.”
“Financial institutions are looking for advanced monitoring solutions that can keep up with the speed and complexity of today’s markets,” said Kevin Formby, Vice President, Finance and Capital Markets at Keysight. “We are delighted to deepen our relationship with InstrumentiX through this investment, which brings together their proven monitoring and analytics with our visibility technologies. This not only enables us to deliver end-to-end performance assurance that helps customers operate more efficiently and with greater confidence, but also further strengthens Keysight’s ability to support the financial markets sector with integrated solutions.”
