Karnataka Bank runs critical business apps on Nutanix Cloud Platform

Karnataka Bank is running all of its critical business applications, including cloud-native external-facing ones used by customers, on Nutanix’s Cloud Platform (NCP). These applications include mobile and Internet banking, fraud and risk management, and loan management services. The bank is also running a cloud-native digital currency application required by the Reserve Bank of India on NCP.

The bank picked Nutanix not only because the company can support and deploy the Kubernetes-based application, but also because the Nutanix Kubernetes Platform solution is integrated with NCP. “Our customers are digitally savvy, so this requires us to quickly rollout and provide cloud-native applications that are easy to use, can be easily updated, and are always available,” said Venkat Krishnan, CIO, Karnataka Bank.

“Nutanix’s platform's ability to support Kubernetes, and professional services enable us to deploy the applications required by the marketplace we serve, and regulators.” 

Nutanix solutions also help keep the bank’s applications up and running during disasters and other unforeseen circumstances with NCP deployed in the bank’s second on-premise data centre. This enables the bank to fall back on running its applications there, if needed, on the same platform and without unreasonable interruption.

“Our partnership with Karnataka Bank underscores Nutanix’s ability to help financial institutions run their critical business applications, including those used by customers and employees,” said Faiz Shakir, VP, Southern Asia, at Nutanix. 

“Our collaboration with Karnataka Bank also highlights how Nutanix can help financial institutions deploy and provide cloud-native applications that need to run in containers across any environment, whether on-premises or in the cloud.”

The top three banks in India, as well as others in the country, use Nutanix solutions. In the Asia Pacific Rregion, Nutanix has also partnered:

- State-owned financial services institution Pegadaian in Indonesia moved more than 100 of its consumer-facing applications to the Nutanix Cloud Platform, reducing time-to-market for new products and services. 

- Indonesian electronic payments provider Artajasa moved hundreds of applications to the Nutanix Cloud Platform from VMware, doubling application performance.

- In Hong Kong, the Bank of East Asia fortified its compliance measures through an AI-powered fintech application on the Nutanix Cloud Platform.
