This document discusses best practices for end-to-end cloud performance and availability in capital markets. It outlines how high performance networks, application delivery solutions, and proximity to exchanges and data centers are important. It also discusses how public clouds can improve performance through features like auto-scaling, dynamic resource allocation, and high-performance storage. For high availability, it recommends approaches like SLAs, high availability across clusters, business continuity planning, security, and compliance. The document argues that a community cloud focused on capital markets could help address limitations of private and public clouds for financial services.

Current Reality in Capital Markets
Business requirements are
mature and well understood
Enterprise shared services should
be best practice for many
functional areas
But, for many firms...
Duplication, complexity, and
point-to-point solutions persist
Application maintenance is
hard….
Innovation is harder

Why a Community Cloud for Financial Services?
Public Clouds:
Security concerns
Not industry focused
Application ‘unaware’
Private Clouds:
Far from the source of market data and trading services
No room to ‘burst’ – typically built for 100% capacity
Requires focus on infrastructure, not business
