Risk analysis of financial trades and positions is critical to the operation of every financial institution. Reducing risk calculation duration provides a competitive edge with short calculation cycles, reduced settlement risk, and lower operational costs. The massive computation is typically performed using powerful compute grids. However, scaling the solution to meet the ever-increasing loads can no longer rely on direct access to the compute grid, but should rather store the data in-memory for real-time access, while keeping the data highly-available and easily-scalable, and maximizing use of the organization’s private cloud.This webinar presents an innovative approach for this problem that takes advantage of GigaSpaces' XAP intelligent and active In-Memory Data Grid to manage the calculation lifecycle and stream the results back to the client as they arrive, thereby providing significant performance boost. This approach is successfully used by multiple tier-1 financial institutions to significantly speed up the risk analysis time.

Sears Holdings IL - GigaSpaces case study
Date: March 27, 2011
Video Duration: 00:31:58
Tomer Gabel Architect, Delver/Sears provides an insightful overview on how they built a Social Ecommerce solution that can handle complex relationship queries in real time. Tomer goes through the architecture consideration behind their solution , why they chose memory over disk, how they partitioned the data to gain scalability, why they chose to execute code with the data using GigaSpaces Map/Reduce execution framework, how they integrated with Facebook and why they chose GigaSpaces over Coherence and Terracotta.
Cost-Effective SaaS Enablement with RackSpace & GigaSpaces
Date: August 26, 2010
Video Duration: 01:02:22
In this session, Nati Shalom, GigaSpaces CTO, and Barak Meirmovich, GigaSpace Solutions Architect, show how GigaSpaces’ XAP application server, running on RackSpace’s cloud infrastructure, creates unmatched cost efficiencies for application providers. Nati and Barak show how you can reduce TCO and boost ROI with:• Built-in multi-tenancy for lower costs per user• Linear, dynamic scalability for hardware cost savings• Performance efficiencies that help reduce cloud resource requirements• Accelerated time-to-value, with an out-of-the-box solution that leverages existing developer skills (no code change, quick deployment)• Monitoring and management capabilities that streamline operations and reduce maintenance
With today's massive amount of transactions overloading a single system, Complex Event Processing (CEP) is becoming a crucial part of business architectures in financial corporations. Because our computing environments are becoming more and more distributed and virtualized, CEP must also provide enterprises with a way to consume these events in a scalable way. Integrasoft's CEP Service Cloud (CEPSC) provides a cost effective solution for this issue: CEPSC offers the infrastructure required to run CEP Clouds to meet the business application demands and required services. Integrated with GigaSpaces XAP, CEPSC brings a scalable and out of the box solution for event processing, helping corporations leverage their business monitoring processes. In this webinar, Integrasoft CTO, Michael Di Stefano and Nati Shalom, GigaSpaces CTO, discuss ways to overcome the limitations of today’s CEP engines by leveraging a holistic and valuable solution for CEP Services within the Cloud.
