Summary

Aon Benfield Securities, a leading global provider of risk management, insurance, and reinsurance brokerage, needs high-powered computing to process financial simulations for wealth management products.

This session will cover Aon Benfield's use of AWS GPUs and other services from AWS, including Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) to perform HPC calculations.
