Accelerating the Impact of Cloud for Workflows

Phrases such as “real-time analytics” and “microsecond response” do not automatically imply cloud applicability. However, the transformational impact of cloud technologies is very real for trading infrastructures, and firms are grappling with the scaling opportunities – and constraints – which come with it.

In this session, KX will discuss their insights on how data and infrastructure teams are adapting to accommodate the cloud meta-trend, from research and modelling to production, from low frequency to high frequency, and from offline reporting to on-demand analytics to real-time signals.
