Energy Trader Cuts Risk Calculation Time from Hours to Seconds
Migrating risk analytics to Azure HPC and Fabric, enabling intraday VaR, scenario analysis, and stress testing at unprecedented speed.
Project Overview
The Challenge
Risk analytics ran overnight on legacy infrastructure, leaving traders without real-time visibility during market hours.
- 1Risk calculations running overnight, blind to intraday positions
- 2Limited ability to run scenario analysis during volatile market conditions
- 3Infrastructure not elastic enough for peak demand
Our Solution
CloudGate re-platformed the risk engine onto Azure HPC and Batch, enabling on-demand scaling for intraday and stress-test scenarios.
- Risk engine re-architected for elastic Azure HPC and Batch
- Intraday VaR and what-if analysis available to traders in seconds
- Stress test scenarios on demand with full audit trail
The Results
- Enabled new product structures previously impossible to risk in time
