Keynote: DDN Corporation
Hedge funds, proprietary trading firms and major banks are adding data sources, such as: additional trading venues for best execution, news feeds for sentiment analysis, cross product customer databases and more. When the best result depends on having the optimal algorithm consuming the most relevant data, the ideal approach is to be able to analyze more data, faster. By using fast, scalable, external disk systems with massively parallel access to data, researchers can perform analysis against much larger data sets delivering more effective models, faster.
