Objectives

The bank faced the strategic challenge of aligning with India's indigenous manufacturing initiative by transitioning from foreign-made switches to Make in India alternatives. This task was compounded by the absence of prior deployment of such switches. The primary goal was to ensure seamless business continuity during this transition while maintaining compliance standards. Additionally, integrating the new switches with their existing NAC posed another challenge. Bank officials were particularly concerned about whether Make in India OEM could fulfill the large switch order swiftly, given the known chipset crisis.

Solution

We established a robust and reliable network infrastructure throughout the bank network by deploying advanced switch solutions.

Outcomes

The integration of Make in India switches within the bank’s network marked a seamless transition, ensuring uninterrupted business operations without any downtime. This implementation strengthened the network's resilience, guaranteeing continuous connectivity and highly secure authorized access. The switches played a pivotal role in strengthening the bank's security protocols, ensuring the secure transmission of data and providing robust defense mechanisms against potential cyber threats. Moreover, the incorporation of a local security feature proved instrumental, enabling uninterrupted operations at the branch level, even in scenarios involving disconnects from the central system. This local security capability significantly contributed to maintaining operational integrity and safeguarding against unforeseen circumstances, ensuring the continued safety and reliability of the bank's operations.
