Hedge360 - Front Arena's hosted solution:

Hedge funds and asset managers face constricting infrastructure and IT budgets. At the same time, they have to address increasing pressure from institutional investors to demonstrate that they have robust control over the mission-critical aspects of their businesses. Many hedge funds and alternative asset managers are therefore turning to hosted delivery, rather than in-house installation.

SunGard’s Front Arena hosted solution via Hedge360 helps reduce the infrastructure burden by eliminating the need for customers to employ large IT teams to manage and maintain their own hardware, software, pricing, data and disaster recovery. It also allows customers to deploy scarce resources to focus on core competencies and alpha-generating activities. The hosted delivery method also offers rapid implementation without compromise in functionality.
