OmniSci: Delivering Real-Time Competitive Edge

CIO VendorTodd Mostak, Founder & CEO
Businesses find it daunting to analyze data at scale and gain key insights out of them. The investment management industry in particular needs business insights at their fingertips to protect investments and improve returns. It’s only when insights are available in real time that they can reliably mitigate portfolio risks and drive outcomes. Although investment management firms have made huge investments in technologies to collect data, most of them lack the ability to derive value out of them. The traditional CPU-based hardware and analytics solutions are too slow and difficult to scale, and are not powerful enough to analyze today’s big data in a timely manner.

Amid the growing demand for data analytics, technology providers are extensively using graphics processing units (GPUs) to help financial services firms better meet their data analysis requirements. GPUs are accelerating analytics and visualization by providing parallel computing power that is designed for extreme speed and scale. Comprehending the extensive benefits of GPU, forward thinking investment management firms are approaching OmniSci, a provider of cutting-edge analytics platform, to utilize its unique GPU-based analytics technology to overcome the challenges of speed, scale, and real-time interaction.

OmniSci harnesses the massive parallel processing and visual rendering power of NVIDIA’s GPUs to power its technology. Based on technology developed during foundational research at MIT, OmniSci supports data throughput of approximately 6 TB per second on a single server.
