Deutsche Bank has deployed Fusion io’s ioMemory technology to reduce latency and increase performance by up to 60 per cent in its Credit Risk Calculation and Information System (dbArtos). The solution was selected to accelerate the SAS business analytics and business intelligence software utilised by the dbArtos system.

"The Deutsche Bank credit risk portfolio uses SAS business analytics software for credit risk calculation and information system evaluations, and we recently updated our infrastructure to meet new and additional requirements for these risk evaluations,” says Deutsche Bank AG director, Dr. Marcus Prätzas. “The infrastructure design update was focused on low latency technologies, and now, Fusion ioMemory is an important part of the Deutsche Bank calculation engine architecture. With Fusion-io, we reduced operating costs and achieved considerable performance improvements up to 60 per cent without any changes to the application."

“In an environment where milliseconds make a big difference to the bottom line, rapid access to data is critical to meeting the business analytics requirements of Deutsche Bank clients,” comments Neil Carson, Fusion-io chief technology officer. “Latency is significantly reduced when the large, evolving datasets used in financial analytics are stored in the server where data is processed and accelerated through a dedicated memory tier. With Fusion ioMemory, financial organisations like Deutsche Bank can provide their customers with significantly faster responses to market developments.”
