MORRISTOWN, N.J., Nov. 24 -- Banks, stock brokerages and investment houses have felt the impact of the global financial crisis, recognizing the immediate need to regain customer confidence. The current market volatility, numerous financial institution mergers and acquisitions, and the U.S. Treasury's $700 billion bailout program to rescue the financial services industry, underscore the immediate need for increased transparency and governance solutions.
DataMotion's IIT platform, an on-demand or on-site service offering, governs information transfer between disparate and often-asynchronous legacy systems for secure business communications and trustworthy collaboration. With the IIT platform, companies can move, track, filter, audit, manage and secure all sensitive information no matter what their existing systems may be.
"When the house is on fire, that's not the time to think about putting in smoke detectors," said Frank Kenney, research director at Gartner. "Financial institutions can wait no longer. They must make the move today from being reactive to proactive to ensure they have security, visibility and audit-ability -- in other words -- governance, and it must be baked into their messaging and workflow solutions."
DataMotion's IIT platform provides a simple and effective workflow solution that allows financial institutions to communicate securely with colleagues, business partners and customers -- with built-in compliance that ensures that all applicable government mandates are automatically and properly enforced regardless of what systems are in place.
DataMotion's IIT platform enables financial companies to:
"In this climate of intense scrutiny, competition, reduced margins, stringent regulations and increased consolidation in the industry, financial institutions need to close the gaps in their business communications," said Kelly Mackin, COO and president of DataMotion Inc.
"DataMotion provides an intelligent information transport system that can bridge disparate systems, improve service levels and build customer trust. And since our IIT service is offered as an on-demand service in the cloud, our customers are up and running in a matter of days. Companies going through M&A can send secure messages to their new colleagues and business partners, well before their internal email systems can be integrated. This is crucial in exchanging critical information needed to keep key customers and business partners satisfied during this time of financial volatility and market uncertainties."

The ever-growing complexity of scientific and engineering problems continues to pose new computational challenges. Thus, we present a novel federation model that enables end-users with the ability to aggregate heterogeneous resource scale problems. The feasibility of this federation model has been proven, in the context of the UberCloud HPC Experiment, by gathering the most comprehensive information to date on the effects of pillars on microfluid channel flow.

Large-scale, worldwide scientific initiatives rely on some cloud-based system to both coordinate efforts and manage computational efforts at peak times that cannot be contained within the combined in-house HPC resources. Last week at Google I/O, Brookhaven National Lab’s Sergey Panitkin discussed the role of the Google Compute Engine in providing computational support to ATLAS, a detector of high-energy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

The study of climate change is one of those scientific problems where it is almost essential to model the entire Earth to attain accurate results and make worthwhile predictions. In an attempt to make climate science more accessible to smaller research facilities, NASA introduced what they call ‘Climate in a Box,’ a system they note acts as a desktop supercomputer.

When it comes to cloud, long distances mean unacceptably high latencies. Researchers from the University of Bonn in Germany examined those latency issues of doing CFD modeling in the cloud by utilizing a common CFD and its utilization in HPC instance types including both CPU and GPU cores of Amazon EC2.
