(PRWEB) November 16, 2006 -- Grid Computing in Financial Services -- Toward True IT Agility Web Conference will take place November 30, 2006.
Grids use the resources of many separate computers connected by a network to solve large scale computation problems. Grids provide the ability to perform many more computations at once than would be possible on a single computer or to perform many more transactions in parallel.
Grids offer a way of using the information technology resources optimally inside an organization. Financial organizations around the world are benefiting from grid computing today in such diverse areas as risk analysis, pricing of exotic derivatives, trading analytics and wealth management.
