Solution architecture
As the Internet and the digital economy grow, financial institutions must undergo digital transformation. They need to make their businesses more agile and create scenario-based services to respond to new business models. However, digital transformation presents common pain points. These include inflexible IT system architectures, long business delivery cycles, low Operations and Maintenance (O&M) efficiency, and poor reliability. Financial enterprises can solve these pain points using cloud-native technologies, such as container-based agile infrastructure and the microservices model. The finance industry is also highly regulated and complex. Because of reforms in financial regulation, authorities have strict requirements for building and operating financial IT systems. These systems need a financial-grade cloud-native solution that is secure, reliable, and high-performance.
Ant Group developed a financial-grade distributed architecture platform. This platform provides financial users with full-stack infrastructure capabilities. It ensures security against threats and supports agile business iterations. The platform also provides active geo-redundancy and low-cost, rapid scale-out. It overcomes the challenges of transitioning from traditional centralized architectures. It helps build large-scale, high availability (HA) distributed system architectures to support financial business innovation.
