When it comes to technology, banks have historically taken a conservative stance, often only adopting newer architectures & technologies when there have been immediate business-led drivers. However recent times have brought with them demands for rapid data access over much larger data sets and huge increases in computational complexity. This has lead to the adoption of new ways of designing & implementing systems, looking to some of the leading-edge technologies that have previously been the preserve of the Googles and the Facebooks. This session explores Risk Analytics with HDFS and the movement from message based architectures to high performance, real time datastores as the conglomerate of disconnected systems coalesces towards a single global architecture.
