#GRID is the site for the grid community within wholesale financial markets. It is run by the Financial Technology division of Incisive Media, publishers of Waters and Dealing With Technology (DWT). The site features forums, news, white papers, commentaries, further resources and links. The site provides the community with the opportunity to communicate online in between the major #GRID events, CITY#GRID and STREET#GRID, which take place annually.

The rapid growth of automated trading and computationally intensive analytics used within risk and portfolio management means significantly increased pressure on existing IT infrastructures. Banks and other financial firms that take advantage of innovative high performance computing technologies will be better equipped to stay ahead of their competition in the years ahead.

Hosted by DWT and Waters magazine, the inaugural StreetGrid conference provides CIOs, CTOs, Chief Architects and senior technologists with a comprehensive understanding of how next generation grid computing, virtualization and SOA technologies can be applied to ensure optimal use of existing IT resources and increased revenues for business lines.
