Overview
India's largest private bank approached CitiusCloud to set up Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform on Nutanix HCI virtualization infrastructure for onboarding its Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) microservices application, harnessing cloud-technology efficiency and modernizing systems with a container strategy.
The challenge

- Assessment & design — strategic decomposition of the application landscape and container strategy development.
- Architecture decisions — platform architecture for OpenShift running on Nutanix HCI, integrating networking, storage, and security.
- Platform implementation — end-to-end deployment of the frameworks required to run wholesale and retail CBDC microservices securely and efficiently.
The results
- A national-significance digital currency workload running on a modern container platform.
- A repeatable container strategy the bank can extend to further modernization.
- Proof that OpenShift-on-Nutanix delivers at the largest banking scale in India.
