Acutally financial query might use this architecture, except that the significant difference between this workload and "typical commercial" workloads -- they do no updates. Therefore no data integrity issues.

we took some amount of heat in the 80s from the communication group
working on high-speed data transport
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subnetwork.html#hsdt
and 3-tier architecture (as extension of 2-tier, client/server)
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subnetwork.html#3tier

then in the early 90s ... when we were working on scaling
non-mainframe loosely-coupled for the commercial market
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#hacmp

we got hit and told we couldn't work on anything involving
more than four processors ... minor reference:
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/95.html#13

however, the cluster scaling has evolved in a number of ways.
high-energy physics picked it up and evolved it as something called
GRID. a number of vendors also contributed a lot of work on GRID
technology and since are out pushing it in various commercial market
segments ... including financial. some of the early financial adopters
are using GRID for doing complex financial analysis in real-time.

some topic drift ... i gave a talk a couple years ago at the
global grid forum
https://forge.gridforum.org/docman2/ViewCategory.php?group_id=42&category_id=721

.... select "GGF11-desing-security-nakedkey" in the above.

as somewhat referenced in a couple of the above ("batch processing
going back 50 years")... bringing "batch" to GRID can be somewhat
viewed as JES3 on steroids. before getting con'ed into going to pok to
be in charge of loosely coupled architecture
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#shareddata

my wife had been in the JES group in g'burg. She had been one of the
catchers for ASP ... as part of its transformation into JES3. She had
also done a business analysis of the major JES2 and JES3 features as
part of proposal for creating a merged product.  however, that never
made it very far ... in part because of a lot of internal politics.
