Cloud computing is changing the hedge fund landscape - what drives more and more hedge funds into the cloud?Apr 02 2012 2 Comments
Vinod Paul is a technology specialist in the hedge fund space, having advised directly on technology infrastructure implementations for over 600 hedge funds during the last 15 years.
In this Opalesque.TV interview, Vinod discusses the impact of cloud computing as it re-shapes the global technology landscape in the hedge fund space. Just 2-3 years ago, traditional technology systems such as OMS, EMS, PMS, risk systems or disaster recovery, required a fund to spend $200,000-$500,000 - to provide an institutional level of service to investors. These applications were cost-prohibitive, crippling a small fund's ability to access institutional level technology and therefore institutional allocations. However, according to Vinod, cloud computing is now “leveling the playing field” for the smaller funds to compete for institutional allocations. Small funds are now able to scale and implement all institutional level service applications by placing systems in the cloud, and managing and adding applications easily in a fast, scalable, and cost-efficient way to meet institutional priorities of recovery, mobility features, and high availability systems. Learn about how the cloud has streamlined operational processes by automating previously manual systems, resulting in a permanent transformation of the hedge fund landscape through increased access to mobility and widespread access to institutional-level technological capabilities.
