SunGard has extended its Adaptiv suite of solutions to help customers not only calculate Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) but also actively manage it. Adaptiv CVA Studio now helps traders hedge their CVA exposure, minimize their firms earnings volatility and understand the direct impact of CVA on their P&L.
Basel IIIs CVA mandate will require banks to hold more capital for counterparty credit risk. This is expected to reduce the return on equity and therefore have a direct impact on the profitability of the over-the-counter business lines within many organizations, from global banks to regional franchise banks. Adaptiv CVA Studio helps traders dynamically hedge CVA volatility by offering the ability to calculate and view sensitivities, manage and hedge credit risk on their books, and calculate P&L and P&L Predict.
Adaptiv CVA Studio includes a Monte Carlo calculation engine for measuring risk and a trading-style interface to display counterparty and hedge positions in a single view of P&L and key risk metrics. The solution can run over one million valuations per second per processor core, helping customers achieve greater accuracy in their valuations by avoiding approximation techniques. Adaptiv CVA Studio can accurately calculate multiple risk measures on a CVA book to help manage volatility, including CVA, Debt Valuation Adjustment (DVA) and Funding Valuation Adjustment (FVA), sensitivities, stress scenarios, P&L attribution and P&L predict. Accurate CVA calculations help banks improve their selection of counterparties by helping them more precisely assess counterparty risk.
Juerg Hunziker, president of SunGards Front Arena and Adaptiv business units, said, As the impact of Basel III on both profitability and earnings volatility is better understood, banks are establishing CVA functions to support compliance and improve how they manage P&L. Adaptiv CVA Studio can help by providing a complete view of CVA and transparency into credit risk using technology that can be quickly rolled out to traders and CVA managers across the organization.

Sweatband.com, the UK sports & fitness equipment superstore, has increased its range of recumbent exercise bikes with the inclusion of the brand new Axos R model from the award-winning KETTLER. The newly-launched Axos R is the first recumbent exercise bike developed by KETTLER and one of 17 recumbent exercise bikes now available at Sweatband.com.
The KETTLER Axos R recumbent bike has been designed according to KETTLERs principals of innovation and pioneering technology. The KETTLER Axos Rs sitting position is secure, comfortable and cleverly positioned to ensure optimal workout benefits for all by targeting the leg muscles while supporting and stabilising the lower back. Additionally, its unique step-thru design has been devised to make it easy and safe for exercise participants to get on and off the recumbent exercise bike.
KETTLER have incorporated a weighty 9kg (20lbs) flywheel in the design, this ensures a smooth cycling experience while the choice of 16 resistance levels and 12 highly varied and motivating programs combine to offer on-going and effective workout challenges to people across the full spectrum of fitness levels and varying time constraints.
Sweatband.com CEO Maz Darvish says, This is a great recumbent bike at a very competitive price from a highly regarded home fitness brand. I would recommend the KETTLER Axos R to those keen to target the areas in the backs of their legs as it really accesses the glutes and hamstrings. Its also great for people who find their posture suffers after longer periods on an upright bike as the support you get for your torso means you can power through your legs and work them harder for longer.
The Axos R has a user-friendly console which monitors and reports all the essential workout data, such as speed, RPM, distance, time, calories and pulse rate.
The Axos R has a built-in wireless heart rate receiver which can be used with a chest strap (not included) or heart rate can be monitored using the bikes hand pulse sensors. Either feature can be used in combination with the Heart Rate Controlled programme which automatically adjusts the bikes resistance to maintain the target heart rate training zone of the participant.
Each participants progress can be monitored using the Axos Rs Recovery Feature, this provides a grading of your cardio wellness in terms of how quickly your heart rate recovers after working out.

FIBERTOWN, a premier provider of high availability Houston data centers and business continuity offices, successfully installed another health care provider into its Texas data centers. Community Health Choice, a division of Harris County Hospital District, selected the FIBERTOWN colocation facility in Bryan to power and protect its disaster recovery systems.
High availability, security and disaster recovery are more important in health care today than ever, said Brandon Perryman, senior vice president for FIBERTOWN. We provide fully redundant, high-powered facilities to aid these organizations in improving health care delivery and optimizing processes.

Our DR operations at FIBERTOWN allow us to maintain reliable back-up facilities and business continuity, while ensuring regulatory compliance.”

The growing role of medical information systems focuses on implementing electronic medical records and ensuring security and compliance. Its likely many health care providers are evaluating data center initiatives as a response to the rapid growth of technology infrastructure, said Perryman.
CHC joins nearly a dozen other health care organizations that rely on FIBERTOWN to house DR operations and protect vital technology systems, including Kelsey-Seybold Clinic, Americas Blood Centers and U.S. Physical Therapy.
