Core Banking Infrastructure Modernization for a Leading Private Bank
Client: Leading Private Sector Bank
The Challenge
A major private sector bank with 800+ branches across India was running its core banking platform on aging infrastructure with no DR capability. The infrastructure was approaching end-of-life, creating regulatory risk with RBI IT Framework audits flagging the DR gap. Unplanned downtime had occurred twice in 18 months, each incident costing the bank significant reputational and financial damage.
- —No functioning DR site — RBI compliance risk
- —Aging hardware approaching end-of-support
- —Two unplanned outages in 18 months
- —Manual patch management causing delayed security updates
- —No unified monitoring across 800+ branch locations
