Juniper's Mist™ AI-native network platform delivers greater agility and reliability to Ouribank's network infrastructure at scale. The investment in innovation comes at a critical moment for the Brazilian financial institution, which began its operations with foreign exchange operations 45 years ago and has since successfully expanded into other financial services sectors.
NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701), a leading global provider of IT services and network transformation, today announced an agreement to deploy advanced AI-based network solutions in the Ouribank, one of Brazil's leading financial institutions. The implementation, which leverages market-leading AI and network automation solutions from HPE Juniper Networking and NEC Enterprise Network Service, will transform Ouribank's data center and campus infrastructure into an agile, robust, and secure network, with greater operational visibility and automated troubleshooting capabilities.
The implementation is a strategic element of Ouribank's business expansion plans, driven by customer demand for a wider range of online financial services. The bank also sought to accelerate, simplify, and optimize daily network operations across its data centers, campuses, and branches, supporting an agile IT team capable of focusing on strategic projects and launching new financial services to market quickly and at scale. Another strategic initiative supported by the new network is the development of a Disaster Recovery website, providing greater security for its customers.
The selected solutions—the Apstra® Data Center Director and Juniper Networks® QFX5120 for the data center, and the HPE Juniper Networking EX4400-24X and EX4100 with Juniper Wired Assurance for the campus—are designed to increase the agility and reliability of Ouribank's communications infrastructure. The Apstra Data Center Director solution enables simplified automation and management of the data center network, increasing infrastructure reliability by eliminating outages caused by manual interventions and generating predictive insights. In addition, the Marvis® AI engine, which underpins the Mist AI-native networking platform, delivers market-leading AIOps to optimize the user experience and simplify IT operations.
Furthermore, by leveraging NEC's robust and secure engineering services, Ouribank can implement an automated and secure network tailored to its specific workflows and requirements. Together, NEC and HPE Juniper Networking will continue to drive AI-native digital transformation at Ouribank, enabling the exploration of new use cases enabled by network innovation.
