Our recent research with close to 100 CTOs and CIOs of Europe’s leading capital markets institutions demonstrated that against the backdrop of surging data volumes, there is a lack of robust and resilient infrastructure, systems and technology to store and retract data as needed. “Data management” has now been elevated by C-level management who are focused on counterparty exposure and data transparency. It is now more challenging to achieve data quality and a high priority to effectively manage the distribution and dissemination of internal and external data to ensure organisation-wide quality and consistency as well as to manage systemic risk to ensure information security in electronic data interchange. Attending the Data Management Workshops at TradeTech Architecture 2010 will enable you to

1. Achieve speed of delivery, process high-frequency trading & execution, and achieve execution efficiency all at the same time even when you are faced with surging data volumes
2. Ensure data quality even with the added difficulty of having a real-time view on your trade, transaction cost and order flow
3. Address the cost pressures of dealing with the volume and storage of data

Based around a series of in-depth case studies, you’re guaranteed to return to the office with profitable strategies for re-aligning your data management model for the long-term benefit of your business.This highly interactive workshop will allow you to learn about how to solve your key data management technology challenges.

Our in-depth research with close to 100 CTOs and CIOs of Europe’s leading financial services institutions showed that there is a lack of knowledge and trust of external data centres to address challenges such as optimising latency in a global inventory, disaster recovery and business continuity and energy management. There is a high cost associated with owning & running data centres.

Attending the Data Centres Workshop at TradeTech Architecture 2010 will enable you to

i. Really grasp the costs and technologies associated with co-location or running data centres in addition to ensuring local speed
ii. Optimise latency, disaster recovery and energy management
iii. Identify the value and offerings of the latest data centres

Based around a series of in-depth case studies and presentations, you will learn profitable strategies, which will help you re-align your data centre planning.

This workshop is your opportunity to learn from a leading expert and understand how you can identify and close the gaps in your data centres strategy. How to Identify the Value and Offerings of the Newest Data Centres

• Is it better to have only one data centre and connect to it by Internet or also have simplified local data centres, which connect to other data centres?
• What are the risks associated with data centres?
