Improve Efficiency and Risk Analysis

Increased speed and volume of trades in the automated front office increases the load on back-office systems. The Cisco Back-Office Optimization Solution helps you mitigate the load on settlement, clearing, risk management, and compliance systems. By consolidating and virtualizing computing resources in the data center, you can now allocate resources more efficiently and get the right resources at the right time, regardless of physical location.

Key benefits include:

  • Improved efficiency: Increase trading capacity without increasing the carbon footprint of your datacenter thus reducing CapEx and OpEx.
  • Improved agility: Respond to sudden changes in data volumes by dynamically scaling computing resources.
  • Business continuity: Provide location independence with virtualization and application failover to an alternate location
