THE ONLY END-USER FOCUSED GRID EVENT – PRACTICAL DISCUSSIONS ON GRID

The rapid growth of automated trading and computationally intensive analytics used within risk and portfolio management means significantly increased pressure on existing IT infrastructures. Banks and other financial firms that take advantage of innovative high performance computing technologies will be better equipped to stay ahead of their competition in the years ahead.

Hosted by DWT and Waters magazine, the inaugural STREET#GRID conference provides CIOs, CTOs, Chief Architects and senior technologists with a comprehensive understanding of how next generation grid computing, virtualization and SOA technologies can be applied to ensure optimal use of existing IT resources and increased revenues for business lines.

Conference highlights include:

An interactive panel exploring cutting-edge analytics-based, pre-trade and real-time trading, and post trade applications for grid computing
A debate on the pros and cons of turning the Grid network into a business as trading desks bid for CPUs
A practical discussion of software development and data management strategies to support grid projects
An opportunity to network and share ideas with the speakers and your fellow delegates during the breaks, lunch and the conference cocktail reception.
