Hong Kong's Airstar Bank has successfully migrated its entire operations to the Cloud with Tencent Cloud. The migration enabled the bank to enhance its digital banking services and operations.
"Migrating to the cloud is the optimal solution for the digital transformation of the financial industry, and Airstar Bank's comprehensive cloud migration reflects its forward-looking approach to digitalisation," Liming Hu, vice president of Tencent Cloud, said.
Successful migration
After partnering with Tencent Cloud in December 2023, Airstar Bank successfully migrated its entire operations to the cloud. Operating steadily for over 100 days, the bank reported significant improvements in high-performance data processing capabilities and a comprehensive security protection system at key nodes, safeguarding bank data.
The migration has not only improved the bank's operations but also enhanced development efficiency. Self-built open-source product components have been replaced with enterprise-grade commercial products available in the cloud, leading to a more streamlined and effective development process.
Felix Tao, chief technology officer of Airstar Bank, said: "As a 'user-oriented' digital bank, we remain committed to providing our customers with more diverse products and services. In view of all this, we strive to build a more agile digital bank supported by cloud technology."
Security and disaster recovery
A layered architecture design helped strengthen security by utilising partition isolation based on its unique business characteristics. Tencent Cloud's security product capabilities enabled the bank to establish a comprehensive security protection system at key nodes, safeguarding bank data.
Tencent Cloud has designed a robust multi-layer business disaster recovery architecture system for Airstar Bank. This system provides seamless access to traffic, business applications, and data storage, thereby significantly enhancing the bank's disaster recovery capabilities and ensuring business continuity in the face of potential disruptions.
