Leading consulting and IT solutions provider
expands its distributed cloud strategy to run its popular financial
SaaS applications
AUSTIN,
Texas and TOKYO,
June 21,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle today
announced that Nomura Research Institute (NRI) has
implemented a second OCI Dedicated Region at its Osaka data center, following the successful
adoption at its Tokyo data center.
Running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), NRI built a service
platform and disaster recovery environment at the Tokyo and Osaka sites for the company's T-STAR asset
management solution. Recognized as an industry-standard asset
management infrastructure service and used by over 100 of the
largest mutual funds and investment firms in Japan, T-STAR supports back-office processes
and front office operations. NRI is now running two of their most
critical applications on OCI Dedicated Regions: BESTWAY and
T-STAR.
With this implementation, NRI is now one of the first companies
in the world to automate its build process with OCI Dedicated
Region, a fully managed cloud region that brings Oracle's complete
portfolio of public cloud services into a customer's data center.
OCI helps NRI to meet stringent regulatory, data sovereignty and
application latency requirements, including providing SOC2 reports
based on Japanese security standards in the financial services
industry. NRI benefits from OCI's high-performance, security and
scalability, in addition to a wide-band, low-latency, high-speed
private network connection between NRI's two dedicated regions,
which enables a disaster recovery capability that will keep
regulated data within national borders.
"After our first successful implementation in our Tokyo data center, we expanded the use of OCI
Dedicated Region in Osaka data
center to run our SaaS solutions for the financial industry," said
Tomoshiro Takemoto, senior executive managing director, NRI. "OCI
has helped us build a distributed cloud environment within our
Tokyo and Osaka data centers, allowing us to leverage
the high-performance and flexible resources of OCI and maintain a
high level of financial governance and availability that we
require."
"With OCI Dedicated Region, we built the T-STAR service platform
and a disaster recovery environment, which has allowed us to
smoothly migrate to a cloud architecture and improve performance,
while maintaining a high level of financial governance," says
Kazuya Kobayashi, senior managing
director and division manager, Asset Management Solutions, NRI. "By
further leveraging a wide range of cloud services and tools
provided by Oracle, we will keep improving business value for our
financial services customers."
With the expanded deployment of OCI Dedicated Region, NRI can
now shift its resources used for private cloud operations and
maintenance to strategic areas such as digital transformation. In
addition, NRI plans to modernize its core financial SaaS
applications by conducting research on application development
methods using Oracle Application Express and improving application
development lifecycles using Oracle Container Engine for
Kubernetes.
"We're continuing to see a need for more distributed cloud
infrastructure, which is why we're bringing the benefits of the
cloud closer to the customer," said Clay
Magouyrk, executive vice president, Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure. "Our partnership with NRI has enabled them to
achieve their strategy of running multiple critical customer-facing
applications while incrementally modernizing them using on-premises
cloud services. We are committed to supporting NRI's IT
transformation as they serve their clients as a trusted advisor in
the financial industry."
