BT has been selected to supply international network services to Standard Chartered Bank in 16 countries, including UK, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, and Malaysia.
A highly resilient MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) network, in addition to existing infrastructure, was put in place to eliminate single points of failure and minimise risk globally. This strategy guarantees availability of critical services that are used for access to centralised banking applications and systems in Standard Chartered’s Global Data Centres and Shared Service Centres.
“We are committed to a partnership with Standard Chartered to transform their IT and network infrastructure,” says Andy Nicholson, managing director UK finance industry sector. “By providing robust, transformative world-class managed services, we aim to help Standard Chartered achieve success in their business vision.”
