Financial Services

Typical characteristics of banking and finance ICT systems include:

Large national/global networks, often supplied by multiple network service providers
Applications hosted on high-end servers with unique performance characteristics, e.g. mainframe systems and Sun Fire servers
Stringent service continuity demands for customer facing and settlement systems
Significant QoS demands for key applications, e.g. online trading systems must perform at a level that enable traders to make decisions on a second by second basis
Significant financial losses arising from SLA breaches, e.g. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)
OLTP based systems with high transaction rates
Recognised peak trading periods where system volumes far exceed normal levels, e.g. first working day in the New Year
