The world’s largest building society, Nationwide Building Society, has partnered with Hewlett Packard Enterprise to deliver its private cloud deployment on HPE GreenLake.
The move comes as part of Nationwide Building Society’s ongoing hybrid cloud journey, which started in 2018.
“In today’s world our customers expect us to deliver an always-on service whilst providing new, innovative features that help them better manage their finances,” said Nationwide Building Society Infrastructure and Service Delivery Director Paul Walsh.
“Nationwide’s hybrid cloud strategy is vital to our ability to compete and means we can continue to meet the needs and expectations of our customers. HPE GreenLake cloud is a core component of our hybrid cloud strategy.
“With them we’re building a cloud platform that will further improve our resilience and agility, enabling us to provide even better levels of service and deliver new capabilities to our developers faster than ever before.”
According to HPE, Nationwide’s IT team will be able to automate and orchestrate infrastructure management and deliver infrastructure as code through GreenLake Management Services.
“This enables them to focus on innovation, value-add activities and gain better control over application builds and security,” HPE said in a statement.
“Faster release cycles will accelerate the time to market, providing consistent customer experiences across all digital platforms.”
It added: “At the same time, Nationwide can ensure that sufficient controls are in place to manage risk, protect their customers and meet the demands of regulators, while unlocking the value of cloud technology.”
From a cost standpoint, the HPE GreenLake consumption-based model is expected to help Nationwide reduce its IT cost base by at least 30%, HPE stated.
The building society will also have clear overview of its energy consumption and emissions, HPE added.
“We are proud to support Nationwide with their cloud vision, providing them with enhanced control and security and the reliability and flexibility for growth,” said HPE UK, Ireland, Middle East and Africa SVP and MD Matt Harris.
“Nationwide’s modernisation journey showcases the effectiveness of HPE GreenLake cloud, with the storied institution transitioning from complex, legacy technology to a modern, future-proofed hybrid cloud operating model where a one-size-fits all public cloud could never be the only answer.”
