IBM and Indian Bank have partnered to modernize their front-end banking applications and address business growth in Core Banking Solution workloads. The collaboration focuses on secure compute infrastructure and deploying new applications.
Indian Bank is one of the leading public sector banks in India, serving over 100 million customers with 5798 branches spread across the country and abroad. As part of their Project PARADISE, Indian Bank wanted to consolidate their Front Branch Servers for better manageability and availability at both Data Centres (DC) and Disaster Recovery (DR)centers, while also running their CBS workloads on the latest generation of IBM Power® servers.
IBM proposes a hybrid cloud approach for Indian Bank’s AIX workloads, combining Capex and Opex models for compute resource consumption. This Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offers additional compute and storage, private cloud building, and a single pool of processors across DC and DR. The service is equivalent to a pay-as-you-grow model. Deepak Sarda, Chief General Manager – IT and Partnership, Indian Bank said, “With benefits like better flexibility, lower costs and enhanced security, we are creating a value-oriented solution by setting up a proactive and service-oriented model for the bank.”
