Grid as a business enabler
LONDON, UK, Dec. 7, 2009 ― Platform Computing, the leader in cluster, grid and cloud management software, today announced that Sporting Index, world leaders in sports spread betting, has selected Platform Symphony for high-performance grid computing. The company is using Platform Symphony grid management software to increase the volume of transactions and event updates that it is able to handle, and in doing so underpin its expansion plans.
Sporting Index is experiencing significant growth in bet numbers, and with the rapid rate of partner sign-ups to its betting services business, Sporting Solutions, it is relying on Platform Symphony’s scheduling to increase server utilization and keep a control on costs.
“With circa four out of five sports spread bets placed in the UK coming through our systems, our core requirements have risen from around 300 to over 3,000 prices published per second” says Eachan Fletcher, Sporting Index’s CIO. “The growth that we’re experiencing in our B2B business is pushing up the number of sports and markets we need to cater for, and Platform’s grid computing technology is a great way for Sporting Index to scale up. Platform has helped us customize some of the grid components we’re using, on time and within budget so we can deliver the highest possible level of service to our customers.”
Grid computing solutions can be used as a vehicle to improve utilization, to achieve more capacity with less technology, as a business differentiator, (faster or more reliable), or in the case above to improve capacity for new business or new markets, an interesting read do check it out.
