RBL Bank has selected Amazon Web Services (AWS) as its preferred cloud service.
RBL Bank has migrated more than 60 mission-critical applications to AWS, including retail assets, branch and business banking operations, human resources, and customer-facing websites from its on-premises data center to AWS.
The Indian private bank, which has over 8.7 million customers, plans to migrate more than 25 additional applications to AWS by the end of 2020, to further modernize its IT infrastructure, drive operational efficiencies, and innovate new services.
Before migrating to AWS, RBL Bank would forecast its IT resources and capacity requirements months in advance. AWS will enable RBL Bank to scale its infrastructure based on demand, instantly scaling up and down in alignment with usage of its services, consuming resources in a cost-efficient manner.
RBL Bank’s IT engineering team created a project called 30-in-30 aimed to complete the migration of 30 critical applications to AWS in 30 working days, and the team achieved 30 applications in 25 days. RBL Bank used CloudEndure Migration to move quickly and automate the migration of its workloads.
RBL Bank is using AWS serverless computing, including AWS Lambda, to run code without provisioning or managing servers and AWS Fargate, which provides serverless computing for containers to develop and deploy new applications, without needing to procure, deploy, and operate new servers.
Amazon DynamoDB, a managed database built for the cloud and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) will enable the bank to store and process banking transactions faster, automating workflows and analyzing data with high performance and built-in security.
Sankarson Banerjee, chief information officer – RBL Bank, said, “CloudEndure Migration allowed us to complete the migration ahead of schedule, and without disruption to our business and operations, while maintaining the agility, speed and scalability to launch new business services.”
“By selecting AWS as its preferred cloud service, RBL Bank can tap into the world’s broadest and deepest portfolio of cloud services to drive its digital transformation journey. This unlocks new possibilities to further transform RBL Bank’s service offerings and engagement with customers,” Puneet Chandok, president, Commercial Business, India and South Asia, Amazon Internet Services, said.
