Platform Computing continues to innovate
Platform Computing today announced Symphony for the IBM BladeCenter® with Cell Broadband Engine™ (Cell/B.E.) technology, a High Performance Computing (HPC) solution for financial services that delivers scalability and enhances performance of Platform Symphony. Platform Symphony is the only service-oriented software solution that supports the deployment of compute-intensive risk and analytical applications to this fast and powerful IBM server.
Symphony for the Cell/B.E. technology offers a reliable and scalable HPC infrastructure for performing lightening-fast, pre- and post-trade analytics, enabling the faster domination of liquidity. With Symphony for the Cell/B.E.-based IBM BladeCenter, traders can run portfolio simulations much faster – reducing time to results by up to 80 percent. In addition, this tightly integrated solution facilitates rapid and easy deployment of sophisticated analytical applications to mission-critical trading environments.
“This announcement is ground-breaking because these two innovative and powerful technologies have been combined into a solution that has immediate applicability in the banking and financial markets,” said Jingwen Wang, Vice President, Products, Platform Computing. “By leveraging Symphony, banking applications can get up-and-running on a Cell/B.E.-based IBM BladeCenter with minimal effort. Symphony’s policy engine rapidly enables the implementation enabling organizations to consider Cell/B.E. technology to accelerate a broader array of business requirements.”
Very cool, the IBM blade servers using the Cell BroadBand Engine processor could be a very powerful solution providing your application is optimized for the platform. Platform announcing a solution for this platform brings more opportunities for the Cell/B.E based blade solutions and the customer, very cool, I’ll need to check it out.
