A Top-Tier US-Based Bank

When it comes to financial service investments and their high-performance computing (HPC) platforms, speed is king. Analyze larger volumes of data faster and with greater subtlety, you can make smarter, faster trade and credit decisions, reduce investment and operational risk, and improve profitability. A top-tier, US-based bank had adopted grid computing to scale its HPC resources. Now, it wanted to optimize application performance on the grid and use its grid resources for new classes of computing challenges, including transaction processing, databases and applications where memory latency and data persistence are crucial. It turned to Intel, IBM and GigaSpaces Technologies to prove the scalability of an innovative solution that would take its grid to the next level.
