Pete’s Blog - A Bigger After Life for 29West

News of 29West’s acquisition by Informatica broke on Monday morning (thank you for not trying to embargo the news, which most vendors hopelessly bungle). It was a surprise to me and to many people, but one that hasn’t been greeted with much debate or discussion. Unlike the NYSE/Wombat acquisition of a couple of years ago, this one looks pretty straightforward, and sensible. So not a whole lot to write about from a news angle, though it’s more interesting in the context of Informatica’s other acquisitions and how the data management specialist might leverage 29West.

Pete’s Blog - Cloud Performance for the Front Office?

I hear lots about Cloud Computing these days, mostly from vendors about its promise to deliver on-demand compute and storage while reducing costs. I hear words like flexibility and agility, and terms like TCO and talk of applications, such as risk modeling, analytics and pricing. Now, thanks to some benchmarks run by upstart Cloudsoft Corp., with its partners Solarflare Communications, Arista Networks and Citrix Systems, the performance word has been added to the mix, and it’s not at all bad. Which makes me wonder whether - or really when - we’ll see cloud technology underpin trading in the front office.
