What's NOT in this presentation • What is Cloud? • What is Azure? • Development on Azure • Other applications besides Excel and Numerix on Azure, including Office 365 • Detailed risk management discussion (c) 2011 Microsoft. All rights reserved.

The JourneyTechnology Stack Risk and Pricing Platform

The POCGoals and Objectives • Support an ad-hoc, on demand usage model • Run more simulations for better results • Reduce the run time of the simulation through Cloud Bursting • Provide a cost effective option to purchasing on-premise hardware • Extend the on-premise compute capability (c) 2011 Microsoft.

Myth Busting Myth 1 Myth 2 • Perform more calculations for better results • Desktop apps like Numerix and Excel 2010, can grind the desktop to a halt • Banks cant use the public cloud… • Its too insecure Myth 3 Myth 4 • Connecting HPC to the cloud is easy, quick and cheap • All public clouds are created equal… • Extend the on-premise compute capability (c) 2011 Microsoft. All rights reserved.

Myth 1Desktop apps like Numerix and Excel 2010, can grind the desktop to a halt • Numerix XL is used to model financial markets instruments and calculate risk factors. It integrates with Excel 2010 and needs lots of CPU and RAM. • When complex simulations are run, it can take hours to produce a result and locks up the desktop. (c) 2011 Microsoft.

Myth 1Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 SP2 Overview • Complete, integrated platform for computational clustering • Built on top the proven Windows Server 2008 platform • Integrated development environment • Evaluation available from www.microsoft.com/hpc

Myth 1Desktop apps like Numerix and excel 2010, can grind the desktop to a halt • To bust this myth we… • Setup On-Premise HPC Cluster with HPC SP2 • Connected Numerix XL and Excel 2010 to HPC • Offloaded the workbooks from the desktop • The bigger the grid, the faster • HPC has the whole package • Costs involved for on-premise hardware (c) 2011 Microsoft.

Myth 2Banks can’t use the public cloud… its too insecure • Customer information is extremely important to a bank! • It is looked after with maximum security • It doesn’t leave the bank • It doesn’t go offshore • And doesn’t belong on the public cloud! (c) 2011 Microsoft. All rights reserved.

Myth 2Banks cant use the public cloud… its too insecure • What about data that isn’t customer related? • Risk data doesn’t include customer information. • Requires huge computing capacity for scenario modeling • Mostly publicly available data, such as market rates like those found on money.msn.com (c) 2011 Microsoft.
