Client Overview

A major Indian bank used hybrid cloud to manage secure workloads, improve scalability, strengthen governance, and ensure compliance.

Industry

Indian Banking Sector

Duration:

[36 months]

Services Provided:

Hybrid cloud management, CloudOps, and compliance services

The Challenge

The bank operated across Azure, AWS, and Private Cloud, creating governance, monitoring, and cost challenges. RBI rules demanded data residency, audit-ready reporting, controlled access, scalable digital banking, secure DR, and specialist cloud management skills.

The Solution

  • Alchemy delivered managed services across Azure, AWS, and Private Cloud, enabling unified visibility, governance, and workload balancing.
  • RBI-compliant controls, IAM policies, encryption standards, and audit frameworks protected sensitive workloads.
  • Terraform, Ansible, and CI/CD automated provisioning, patching, and scaling.
  • CloudOps integrated with NOC/SOC enabled 24×7 monitoring of workloads, storage, and traffic.
  • Multi-cloud DR, geo-redundant backups, automated failover, and FinOps optimization reduced risk, downtime, complexity, and OPEX overall.
