Meeting the Needs of the Global Marketplace - Reducing Application Latency in the Cloud Now more than ever, Wall Street firms will need to meet the needs of global customers if they want to survive. They will need to develop new strategies and architectures to deliver services to employees, clients and partners whether they are in Manhattan or Minao, whether they are on the trading floor or the clients' site. For just these reasons, Wall Street is beginning to embrace off-the-shelf J2EE tools to develop flexible, robust applications that leverage their advanced core systems. Firms are struggling, however on how to deliver these applications to increasingly global and increasingly nomadic users. This Forum will bring together technology and business managers to discuss strategies for delivering global Web-based applications. Wall Street & Technology editor Greg MacSweeney will lead a panel of architects from leading firms to discuss their approach to delivering global applications and the trade-offs of different delivery strategies. Sponsor, Akamai Technologies will also show how its global distributed computing platform can accelerate financial applications securely over the public Internet.
