Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

The firm migrated its core investment management platform, 'Aladdin', from private data centers to the public cloud. This platform manages risk for over $21 trillion in assets. The move enabled enhanced compute elasticity for running complex Monte Carlo simulations and improved security posture.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"Validation of public cloud for Tier-1 financial workloads. Aladdin is the 'operating system' of Wall Street; moving it to Azure signals that cloud security and compliance capabilities have matured enough to handle the world's most critical financial data."

warning The Challenge

The on-premise infrastructure for Aladdin was becoming a bottleneck. Scaling compute capacity for increasingly complex risk models (e.g., climate risk, pandemic scenarios) was slow and capital intensive. Clients required local data residency which was hard to achieve with private centers.

psychology The Solution

The firm re-platformed Aladdin onto Azure. They utilized Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) to containerize workloads and Azure SQL for data storage. This allowed them to spin up thousands of cores instantly to run morning risk reports and then spin them down.
