Innovation in the Banking: How we the ITInfrastructure the Germans Bank Transformed have.
As DevOps experts at Deutsche Bank AG, we supported the migration project to ensure a stable and scalable IT infrastructure. Our focus was on working with product owners, architects, scrum masters, project managers and business analysts to provide a modern environment for the migration. As part of this project, the consultancy covered both the on-premises infrastructure in the International Banking Centers (IBC) and the GCP-based infrastructure. Network and firewall audits were also an essential part of our work to ensure the highest security standards.
DevOps fine-tuning in the financial world
Maintaining a balance between stability and flexibility during the migration was crucial, especially in a complex, hybrid environment consisting of on-premises and GCP infrastructure. Ensuring the highest security standards required comprehensive network and firewall analysis to seamlessly combine compliance and performance.
Our optimized approach to Deutsche Bank's infrastructure:
Cloud resilience at the touch of a button
Building an elastic, scalable GCP environment for dynamic deployments and maximum efficiency in resource utilization.
Network security that leaves no gaps
Intensive analyses and targeted optimization of the network and firewall structure to ensure the highest security standards and minimize potential risks.
Automation that unites teams
Introduction of DevOps processes for seamless team collaboration and workflow acceleration, which sustainably boosts productivity.
Figures speak sometimes more as Words, or? Shipyard one View of the KPIswhich our Project with the Germans Bank to the full Maturity brought have:
less Downtimes: Thanks to more proactive Monitoring and Security optimizationswhich the Availability the Systems considerable improved.
shorter Time to market: Through optimized Development- and Provisioning processes were new Products and Functions faster on the customers brought.
lower Operating costs: Achieved through the Utilization Infrastructure-as-Code and automated Provisioning processes.
higher Team productivity: Through the improved Cooperation and clear Process structure could Teams faster and more efficient work.
Reduction with Security incidents: Improved Firewall and Network security measures reduced Risks and protected sensitive Customer data still better.
A look at the migration project for Deutsche Bank shows how you can make your IT infrastructure cost-effective and future-proof. The ideal combination of DevOps and cloud technology enabled a highly scalable environment, optimized security and seamless automation. But in which cases could a similar approach make sense for you?
Complex, heterogeneous IT landscape
If your existing infrastructure is spread across different on-premises and cloud systems, a hybrid cloud environment, such as the GCP-based solution, can significantly increase flexibility and control. Thanks to the elastic cloud resources, load peaks can be absorbed and costs managed efficiently at the same time.
High security and compliance requirements
In regulated industries such as the financial sector, seamless security structures are essential. A combination of firewall optimizations, network analyses and intrusion detection allows you to preventively minimize security incidents. Those who rely on cloud-native security solutions such as VPC and Cloud Armor achieve the highest standards and ensure compliance at the same time.
Resource-intensive maintenance costs
Uses Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) with tools such as Terraform to reduce management costs. Automated configuration processes and proactive monitoring reduce maintenance costs by up to 35%. This can free up your resources and significantly reduce operating costs.
Long deployment times and time-to-market
If development and deployment processes are time-consuming, CI/CD tools such as Jenkins and container solutions such as Docker and Kubernetes can drastically reduce rollout times. This increases agility and brings new functions to market faster, which provides a decisive advantage, especially in a competitive environment.
Promoting cross-team collaboration
Clear processes and seamless collaboration are crucial in complex projects. DevOps methods facilitate the workflow here and promote efficient coordination between development and operations teams. This allows you to sustainably increase productivity, which is reflected in more efficient project management.
By taking this approach, you will fully exploit the potential of DevOps and cloud technology and create a foundation that not only supports your business goals today, but also in the long term - let us know if we can help.
In the Migration Project set we following Tools and Technologies ato one powerful and safe Environment for Deutsche Bank to create:
GCP as our elastic cloud, providing a scalable and cost-efficient infrastructure, perfect for dynamic deployments.
Jenkins enchanted the CI/CD pipeline to automate the development process and enable lightning-fast software delivery
The container orchestration enabler that ensures everything runs seamlessly and automatically adapts to the load.
Docker, the flexible housing for applications that enables containerization so that software can be deployed quickly and securely.
The scheduler, Ansible, which simplifies and automates configurations to save time and reduce human error.
Terraform acted as the master of infrastructure as code, enabling us to deploy our entire environment efficiently and reproducibly.
Cloud Armor to guarantee network security and ward off threats to protect sensitive data.
VPC was the secret protector of the cloud infrastructure, creating a secure and isolated environment for the resources.
Intrusion detection tools as a watchdog that detects potential threats in real time and takes immediate action to protect our systems.
The systems monitor, Stackdriver, which provides us with comprehensive insights and enables us to react proactively to problems.
