Dependency-based Assessment

Industry-leading Migration Strategy

Reference Architecture for Banking

High Performance Environment

Cloud Engin NexGen Approach to Cloud Adoption

Workload migration transforms your bank’s complete IT landscape. Migration to the cloud has to be carefully planned, designed, and executed at each stage to successfully move to the new IT infrastructure. Our global experts will help you successfully transition for greater efficiency in three areas.

  • Infrastructure
  • Data and application
  • Cybersecuritys

Leading enterprises, like yours, are doubling their data footprints many times each year. And as such, are looking to simultaneously reduce costs, take advantage of newer forms of big data, and enjoy greater flexibility in analyzing data, with powerful AI and ML algorithms. All of these are possible by modernizing data. In other words, moving data from legacy databases to modern cloud-based databases.

  • Expertise and Experience on Public Cloud platforms
  • Cloud4C Migration factory enabling Data migration
  • Military-grade data security for data
  • Zero downtime migration methodology
  • Complex and Large-scale migrations
  • Three-pronged migration approach ensuring Data integrity

Your bank, if it wants to stay ahead of the curve, needs to migrate to a DevOps deployment model. This will allow for greater agility and will let you go to market faster. Cloud4C DevOps can help your bank accelerate the release process by automating testing and releasing new versions of the application code on the fly.

  • DevOps for Test, Code, Vulnerability assessment and Production
  • CloudOps and SysOps
  • Database Management
  • Security and Compliance – DevSecOps
  • Backup and Replication

Banks need to keep up with ever evolving customer demands through real-time hyper personalization, instant scalability and security challenges—all of which cannot be achieved with traditional on-premise systems. Containerization is secure because applications and data are ‘contained’ within a workload and not visible unless made so—there is no ability to impact other containers. The container-based orchestration environment provided by Kubernetes offers significant flexibility in relation to building a bank’s cloud environment, whether in the public cloud, private cloud, or as a hybrid.

Kubernetes as a Service from Cloud4C helps your bank develop, run and manage cloud applications in multiple environments. Which delivers agility and reliability in an on-premise environment. Moreover, it allows for rapid deployment, updating of applications and maximizing resource utilization.
