The investment in innovation comes at a pivotal time for Ouribank (ouribank.com), a Brazilian financial institution that began with foreign exchange transactions 45 years ago and has since successfully expanded into other financial services sectors.
NEC Corporation, a leading global IT and network transformation services provider, today announced an agreement to deploy cutting-edge AI for networking solutions at Ouribank, one of Brazil’s leading financial institutions. The deployment, leveraging the market-leading AI and automated networking solutions from HPE Juniper Networking (juniper.net) and NEC Enterprise Network Services, will transform Ouribank's data center and campus infrastructure into an agile, robust and secure network, with increased operational insights and automated troubleshooting capabilities.
The deployment is a strategic element of Ouribank’s business expansion plans, driven by customer demand for a wider range of online financial services. The bank also wanted to accelerate, simplify and optimize day-to-day network operations across its data center and campus & branch infrastructures, in support of a nimble IT team equipped to focus on strategic projects and to introduce new financial services to the market very quickly and at scale. Another strategic initiative underpinned by the new network is Ouribank’s development of a Disaster Recovery site, providing further reassurance for its customers.
The selected solutions, Apstra® Data Center Director and Juniper Networks® QFX5120 for the data center, and HPE Juniper Networking EX4400-24X and EX4100 with Juniper Wired Assurance for the campus, are designed to advance the agility and reliability of Ouribank's communication infrastructure. The Apstra Data Center Director solution enables streamlined data center network automation and management, enhancing infrastructure reliability by eliminating disruptions caused by manual interventions and generating predictive insights. Concurrently, Marvis® AI engine, which underpins the Mist AI-native networking platform, delivers industry-leading AIOps to optimize user experiences and simplify IT operations.
Furthermore, by leveraging NEC's robust and secure engineering services, Ouribank can implement an automated and secure network tailored to its specific workflows and requirements. Together, NEC and HPE Juniper Networking will continue to drive AI-native digital transformation at Ouribank, empowering its exploration of new use cases enabled by networking innovation.
