Case Study: Man Group boosts data productivity and scalable research with VAST Data

Man Group Uses VAST Data as part of DataFrame Database

Man Group, a global investment management firm, faced a technology triple challenge with its massive, complex historical tick data. Their existing infrastructure made loading and accessing gargantuan datasets time-consuming, limited the size of data that could be ingested for analysis, and struggled with the performance required for near-real-time automated trading and research. To overcome these constraints, they turned to the VAST Data Platform.

The VAST Data Platform provided the essential scale, speed, and flexibility to support Man Group's needs. Its all-flash, scale-out architecture enabled the firm to efficiently handle datasets expected to reach 10PB. VAST's solution worked in a complementary fashion with Man Group's own high-performance database, ArcticDB, boosting productivity for its research and technology teams. The integration allowed the firm to produce more actionable insight in less time, powering new trading strategies and optimizing portfolios for its clients.
