Customer Success
JPMorgan Chase used an Ignite in-memory data grid on the GridGain In-Memory Computing Platform to bring calculation times for total exposure views down from three minutes to milliseconds – 100 times faster than the previous portfolio management system.
"We used Ignite to simplify our architecture and gained huge performance increases by removing the cost of shipping the network around the data. Ignite takes care of data caching, persistence, and the compute layer for custom analytics," said Rich Spencer, Executive Director, US Head of Equities & MAS Technology at JPMorgan Chase & Company.
Wellington Management used Apache Ignite on the GridGain In-Memory Computing Platform to run and optimize the company's Investment Book of Record (IBOR) system.
As the single source of truth used by portfolio, risk, and compliance managers to make investment decisions for their clients, it processes trading, accounting, and back office activity data in realtime. The system meets all of Wellington Management's criteria; it’s highly available, highly scalable, and highly recoverable.
ING Belgium uses API offloading on the GridGain In-Memory Computing Platform as-a-service to ingest all of the company's business data from aging mainframes for faster and more scalable compute and storage. Ignite on GridGain provides the company's software developers with the in-memory database, software, frameworks, and libraries to build high-performance applications fast, with monitoring, encryption, authentication, and authorization services between nodes.
