Modelling Accelerator

High Performance Financial, Risk & Catastrophe Modelling in the Cloud.

Struggling with on-premises modelling workloads?

Running financial, risk and catastrophe modelling workloads on-premises presents significant challenges such as:

  • Prolonged execution times
  • Complex capacity planning
  • A high total cost of ownership (TCO)
  • Significant maintenance burden
High performance modelling workloads, traditionally running on on-premises grids, can run faster and at a lower cost on the cloud.

How We Help

Our modelling accelerator provides a risk-free environment for workload evaluation, offering solid performance metrics and cost insights. The accelerator is a timeboxed program utilising our cloud native modelling components and expertise. This is suitable for those looking to move modelling workloads to cloud or looking to optimise existing on cloud deployments.

Discover

The accelerator begins with an initial discovery workshop, which typically takes one day. Following the workshop, we assess the suitability of the proposed workload, determine a scope of work, technical architecture, data security requirements and Key Performance Indicators.

Evaluate

During the evaluation phase, we migrate and modernise key elements of the workload, ensuring that the required KPIs, cost and scalability metrics are measured. This phase typically takes between 6 to 12 weeks depending on the nature of the workload and is iterative and transparent.

Report

Finally, we produce an analysis report that details the results of the accelerator, measured KPIs and a go forward plan to move the workload fully to production.

Scale Up

Post the accelerator engagement, we support the full build and scale out to production. A dedicated team is assigned full time for the duration.

Benefits

Elastic Scaling

Compute resource scales on demand in line with business needs.

Unconstrained Parallel Execution

Remove resource contention issues and capacity planning.

Cost Flexibility

Gain transparent insights into costs; optimise
price/performance and only pay for what you use.

Sustainability

Reduce your carbon footprint by moving from always-on grids to compute on demand.

Reduced Code and Infrastructure

Dramatically reduced code and infrastructure means fewer bugs, less maintenance and reduced TCO.

Compliance

Reduce the effort of security and regulatory compliance by leveraging the AWS Shared Responsibility Model.

Pulse of the Future

The technology evolves with you, making obsolescence a thing of the past.
