Instaroute for banking and financial services
Moving bank branches and ATMs from MPLS to SD-Branch: high-bandwidth, secure connectivity at lower cost, with central visibility and control.
The challenge
Banks that rely on MPLS struggle to connect branches, especially remote ones, and to keep customer-facing applications, voice and video working well. Different regions have very different network reach, and new digital services add pressure on every branch.
At the same time, online transactions make branches a target: sensitive customer and payment data has to be protected on every link, and downtime at a branch or ATM directly affects customers. Working with several vendors for links, routers and support slows every fix.
How Nexapp solved it
Branches live on day one
Cloud-managed branch routers with built-in LTE and 5G as the primary link, so a new branch or ATM opens without waiting for a wired line; the wired link joins later as primary or load-balanced.
Streamlined branch stack
Instaroute WAN edge gateways combine LTE/5G, multi-WAN, simple VPN set-up, Wi-Fi, routing and a firewall, with remote monitoring and central control.
Data protected and segmented
Encryption, central management, real-time monitoring and traffic segmentation isolate each type of traffic and prevent lateral movement.
One vendor, 24×7
From site feasibility to Nexapp's own Instaroute routers and managed services, with a 24×7 NOC working to agreed turnaround times.
What changed
- Branches and ATMs in tier 3+ and rural locations get consistent connectivity.
- New ATMs and branches are deployed with zero-touch provisioning.
- One partner owns the network end to end, from the router to the NOC.
