HPC in Financial Services - The Power of Platform Symphony, Windows Compute Cluster Server and Excel 2007 Trio

Overview As business velocity increases, low latency is becoming a major competitive advantage. This is particularly true in algorithmic trading, options pricing, and risk calculations where staying a tick ahead of the competition can make the difference between a winning or a losing trade. This webcast demonstrates how Platform Symphony, one of the leading performing grid technologies in the market, can provide real time performance in options calculations working in conjunction with Windows Server Compute Cluster Edition and Microsoft Office Excel 2007. This webcast discusses on the upcoming Microsoft Office 2007 Excel Services, Microsoft Office Excel 2007, Windows Compute Cluster Server and Platform Symphony integration.
