Scaling SOA in Financial Services With Grid Computing for .NET

Overview Enterprise architects in financial services are looking to Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) to address many real-world problems - brittle systems with tight interdependencies, data stuck in single-purpose silos, and applications that don't scale to meet growing demand, to name a few. But implementing an SOA can also expose new scalability issues. New High-Performance Computing (HPC) offerings from Microsoft and its partners are ideally suited for scaling out compute-intensive components of an SOA.
