Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

A global investment banking institution migrated its large-scale risk computation grid to public cloud infrastructure to address highly variable compute demands driven by regulatory reporting and stress testing cycles.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"A textbook cloud elasticity use case for capital markets risk workloads, where short-duration peak demand makes on-premise grids structurally inefficient."

warning The Challenge

Regulatory-driven risk calculations and stress-testing scenarios require extreme computational capacity within short overnight windows. Maintaining fixed on-premise infrastructure to meet these peaks resulted in expensive assets remaining idle most of the day, limiting flexibility for intraday analysis and creating an inefficient capital expenditure model.

psychology The Solution

The institution re-architected its risk platform using a hybrid cloud burst model. Thousands of virtual machines are provisioned on demand to process large-scale risk simulations and decommissioned immediately after completion. This replaced fixed hardware investment with a variable, consumption-based operating model while preserving governance and data controls.
