Case Study: Leading Financial Institution achieves real-time risk monitoring and analysis with GigaSpaces Smart Digital Integration Hub

Leading Financial Institution - Customer Case Study

A leading global financial services firm needed an intuitive, web-based risk dashboard for its equities trading business to give traders, desk heads, and risk managers a real-time view of portfolio exposure. The technical challenge was enormous: the firm had to ingest and summarize massive intraday data sets (millions of positions and risk assets and hundreds of millions of risk measures recalculated multiple times per day), eliminate high latency, and support many concurrent users and queries so decisions could be made quickly and accurately.

The firm deployed GigaSpaces Smart Digital Integration Hub — a Java-based distributed in-memory data grid that partitions and replicates data for high performance and availability. The solution handles tens of millions of objects and ~50,000 updates/second, supports 120+ global users and 150+ queries per minute with millisecond (≈100 ms) response times, and provides a single scalable source of truth for the risk dashboard. As a result, traders and risk managers now have real-time visibility into exposure, faster decision-making, and a platform that can grow to include more scenarios and data types.
