The Covid-19 pandemic has reshaped various industries. When it comes to the BFSI sector, it is relying heavily on its networks to connect customers, employees, partners and suppliers to a range of applications and services. Though these networks were adequate in the past (during the pre-Covid days), they may no longer provide the level of service required for ongoing competitive advantage in the face of new business initiatives and regulatory compliance obligations.

Adding new applications and updating networks involves risk, including the exposure to new security issues, unplanned downtime and network conflicts. Mitigating risk required an architecture that can deliver network predictability, pervasive security, and application control.

Traditional branch offices are no longer able to provide the security and access flexibility enterprises need to deliver the quality of experience demanded by the business. Organizations require additional capacity and improved application awareness to ensure their users have access from anywhere.

Today, the BFSI sector needs simpler and more affordable networks. It needs networks that will deliver optimized network experiences for users and devices, uncompromising reliability, and built-in security.

In fact, the need of the hour is a solution that can save opex, an AI-driven platform that can deep dive into network and optimize user experience and service assurance. It should eliminate the increasing IT complexity that is a hurdle in realizing the desired business goals.

Are you afraid of putting your Critical Workload on Public Cloud? Not Anymore!

While most enterprises focused initially on migrating relatively simple applications and workloads, they can now migrate, modernize and build complex and mission-critical applications in the public cloud as well.

Cloud can unleash your digital workforce and accelerate processes if you leverage the most secure and resilient compute choices for your tech stack’s several workloads. But there are so many Clouds – so how do you select the right cloud for enterprise level workloads, while avoiding complexity and sprawl?

Even when demand spikes, IT teams must deliver consistent user experiences; and besides maintaining end-to-security, they must keep an audit trail of compliance with regulations.

Most medium to large enterprises needs a platform which can deliver high-grade workload capabilities, market-leading data and app protection, and open source innovations which can take care of largest and most complex enterprises demand.

Join us in yet another exciting session of ET Unwired powered by IBM Cloud to learn how to –

• Reduce cost and increase the flexibility of your IT infrastructure
• Be confident with security that ensures you are the sole party with access to your data
• Increase application development productivity to support the changing needs of the business
• Use a broad range of computing choices: from bare metal and virtual servers to serverless architectures, Cloud Foundry apps and Kubernetes containers
