Conning’s Risk Management Software Adds Cloud Computing Functionality
Enables Increasingly Complex Stochastic Simulations to Run at Greater Speed and Affordability
Conning believes that the time has come for financial firms to start taking advantage of the opportunities this new technology affords. “Financial risk modeling has become more sophisticated, increasing the demands on companies’ computing infrastructure,” said
Hritcko added, “Robust modeling of global economies, capital markets, financial instruments, and complex corporate holdings across tens or hundreds of thousands of scenarios requires an enormous amount of processing power, and modelers may find themselves having to choose between long run times and maintaining large grids of high-powered servers.” Hritcko also noted that cloud computing allows computing power to be available on demand, with no cost of ownership when it’s not needed. By leveraging economies of scale, simulations can be run at a speed that would be prohibitively expensive to achieve with a dedicated in-house system, enabling larger and, therefore, more informative simulations than were previously practical.
“From the earliest days of stochastic modeling, modelers have taken advantage of advances in computing power, enabling the creation of simulations that would have been infeasible in past decades,” said
