Platform to do more in the finance sector
http://www.gridtoday.com/grid/1539906.html
When Platform Computing announced a few weeks ago that it is increasing its investment in the financial services market, it meant a lot more than just hiring vice presidents to serve the United States and Europe (which Platform did) and increasing sales efforts; it is an attempt to make a big imprint in a vertical market that is not only primed for grid computing, but for whatever evolutionary steps the technology takes in the years to come.
Very cool, spoke with the Platform guys simply to understand their grid solution more accurately, and it does look very interesting, I like the fact they’ve split the two components, and it does seem to scale very well, do check out the article, it’s an interesting read.Â
Whether Platform is right for you will depend on what you’re after from your grid application software, if you’re trying to grid an excel based application, I’d speak to Microsoft about their Excel services, it looks stunning, will no doubt need some evolution for the time being, but worth examining.
