FogHorn Consulting is a Mountain View, CA-based company in the Software and Internet sector.
Privately-held Smart IOPS provides the next generation of flash storage devices and shared flash appliance system architecture for the enterprise, Cloud Service Providers and datacenters, delivering multiple orders of magnitude faster performance and lower latency for a fraction of the cost of existing flash-based storage products. Based in Cupertino, Calif., the company was founded in 2013 by industry veterans from Intel, Micron, SanDisk and Juniper networks.
The application of quantitative research and analysis methods has exploded over the last decade. While access to high performance, low-cost computing power and storage enabled this growth, ultimately it was a thirst for new and innovative solutions that drove it. Nowhere has this trend been in greater evidence than in asset management. Founded in 1998, Axioma quickly emerged as a recognized innovator. From the start, Axioma focused on flexibility. Existing portfolio-management tools often forced investors to adapt their processes and strategies to the idiosyncrasies of the solution itself. Axioma emphasized solutions that users tailored to their own investment and risk-management processes, thus empowering them to fully implement their proprietary strategies and ideas. Axioma counts among its clients nearly 200 of the world`s leading buy-side firms—asset managers, pensions and hedge funds—and offers the most comprehensive suite of portfolio-construction, risk-management and performance-attribution software and content products available in the market today. Axioma`s success reflects its history as a repeat market disruptor.
