Bear Stearns to Implement GemStone For Risk Data Latency

Subscribe to our newsletter

Bear Stearns plans to implement GemFire Enterprise from data infrastructure company GemStone to manage in-memory data across its enterprise applications, initially focused on Global Clearing and Settlement Risk Analytics as well as Program Trading. Bear Stearns realised its daily batch-oriented risk reporting was coming under strain as trading volumes increased and regulatory requirements became more stringent.
