Benefits

The Platform Advantage

Platform delivers a true HPC environment where multiple users and applications share hardware and software resources in virtual pools that scale based on your firm’s needs. Platform’s HPC management software delivers supercomputer performance to your applications inexpensively, reliably and with tremendous return on investment.

– Increase revenue and competitiveness by reducing application run times by up to 80%
– Drive profitability and market share through increased computing capability
– Improve performance and response time, by distributing service-oriented compute and data intensive applications to commodity hardware
– Dramatically lower Total Cost of Ownership by increasing utilization of expensive idling CPUs up to 95%

Focus

Extending and sharing High Performance Computing (HPC) resources across the enterprise enables Financial Services organizations to meet business growth objectives and reduce computing costs.
Financial services firms are under pressure to grow revenue and market share in the face of intense competition, regulations, and the need to manage enterprise risk. They are also struggling to lower the total cost of ownership of resources by increasing operating efficiency and making better use of underutilized business resources.

The traditional approach of throwing hardware at the problem doesn’t cut it any more. Reducing capital costs by deploying siloed compute-clusters based on commodity hardware isn’t an ideal solution either, since capital costs are reduced at the expense of increased operating costs and reduced reliability. HPC management software lets you deftly skirt both of these problems.
