Risk Shell Custom Deployment
Risk Shell is normally delivered through ABC Quant's dedicated hosting environment. For institutions whose security, infrastructure or internal-governance requirements call for a fully segregated installation, Risk Shell can also be deployed on servers controlled by the client.
A Custom Deployment is reserved for institutions requiring an exclusive Risk Shell environment. The application, databases and configuration are dedicated to a single client, while ABC Quant can continue to provide platform maintenance, technical support and application updates.
Dedicated Environment
A complete Risk Shell installation is deployed for the exclusive use of one institution.
- Single-client Risk Shell environment
- Dedicated application and database resources
- Institution-specific configuration
Client-Controlled Infrastructure
The institution determines the server environment and retains control over infrastructure-level access and security policies.
- Client-selected server configuration
- Client-controlled user and network access
- Infrastructure aligned with internal IT policies
ABC Quant Management
ABC Quant can maintain the Risk Shell application while the underlying infrastructure remains under client control.
- Risk Shell application maintenance
- Platform updates and technical support
- Configuration management
Data Integration
Custom deployments can be connected to internal investment data and approved external data sources.
- Links to internal databases
- Third-party data integrations
- Institution-specific data workflows
Client-Controlled Infrastructure, ABC Quant Managed Application
Controlled by the Institution
The client retains control over the infrastructure on which Risk Shell operates and can apply its own internal security and access policies.
- Server and network environment
- Infrastructure-level security controls
- User-access policies
- Internal IT and governance requirements
- Hardware configuration and capacity
Maintained by ABC Quant
ABC Quant remains responsible for the Risk Shell application and can provide the same platform-level support available within the standard hosted environment.
- Risk Shell installation and configuration
- Application maintenance and updates
- Technical support
- Risk Shell component configuration
- Data-interface development and maintenance
Institution-Specific Data & Platform Integration
Custom Deployment can be integrated with the institution's existing investment-data environment. ABC Quant can develop interfaces between Risk Shell and internal databases, portfolio systems and supported third-party data sources so that proprietary and external data can be used directly within Risk Shell analytical workflows.
- Internal investment and reference databases
- Portfolio and holdings data
- Proprietary asset and manager data
- Third-party market and investment data feeds
- Custom data import and synchronization processes
Custom Deployment Scope
Each deployment is specified individually according to the client's infrastructure, Risk Shell configuration, data integrations and support requirements. The environment can be sized and configured for the institution's user base, analytical workload and internal IT standards.
