Multinational Commercial Bank Builds Orchestrated Supercloud Ecosystem with Prosimo
With Prosimo, they are building an indeed orchestrated Supercloud ecosystem that integrates multi-region app deployments, inter and hybrid-cloud connectivity, and firewall service insertion only for traffic streams that require it. The partnership has enabled the bank to improve its agility, scalability, flexibility, and disaster recovery capabilities while reducing IT infrastructure costs. Prosimo’s live L3-L7 observability has also helped them achieve quicker MTTR and fewer multi-team troubleshooting sessions.

Overcoming Technical Challenges
Challenge
1
Hybrid Connectivity: The team requires suitable connectivity options to support their cloud infrastructure which may include a combination of private and public cloud services and on-premises infrastructure.
Specific Examples
Attempting to fix overlapping IP / subnets via either creating VRFs or tunnels/overlays with 3rd party appliances
Manual operations required to create cross-region, cross-cloud, and cross-account connectivity on different cloud consoles.
Ability to scale their applications and infrastructure to meet their business needs without extensive planning for spoke VMs
Integration with their Colo provider (Equinix) which they primarily use for interconnection clouds that helps them keep their data on private medium with a fallback mechanism to Internet in case of any operational failures
Prosimo Full Stack Solution
Standardized global architecture across disparate environments.
Cost optimization (Compute, data transfer using their existing Equinix circuits vs. cloud backbone plus a failover capability)
Connectivity and peering orchestration across cloud & multi-cloud
Row the stack L4 and above to build Autonomous app transit using Network highways – attach at L3, L4, and L7 based on app needs.
Connect to PaaS & K8 (containerized apps and Server functions) at L7 using network constructs orchestrated by Prosimo.

Security and Compliance
Slow Firewall Service Insertion required XYA
Sending all data to oversubscribed firewalls instead of specifying flows for additional processing and inspection
Next to 0 visibility on workload traffic. Security has been an unresolved headache not solved with the introduction of virtual cloud firewalls.
Being a bank, they wanted to keep their datapath in their own cloud instead of a NaaS-based offering.
‘Auto Discovery’ feature that instantly ingests all cloud environment details [VPC, Service, and Apps] for new accounts with no infra required.
Automating connectivity from all clouds and on-prem from the same dashboard

Technical complexities of running Multi-Cloud/Hybrid Cloud and MTTR
Manually Identifying the root cause of issues in the cloud network pipeline related to cloud-native elements, third-party services, firewalls, load balancers, etc.
Traffic flow visibility is limited to tools or Netflow, flow log, log monitor, etc.

Unlocks Tomorrow
The company will benefit from platform capabilities to control spend and operate freely. Taking further recommendations from the ML features, NetDevOps capabilities to streamline workflows, and Security benefits of segmentation
Onboard cloud-native services to the same network
80% faster cloud network rollout for improved time to value
40% improvement in overall app performance
Continuous ZTNA for accessing private apps. No connectors required.
