Case Study: SBI Sumishin Net Bank achieves fast, secure cloud connectivity and instant provisioning with Equinix (Platform Equinix & Equinix Fabric)

Equinix Cloud Exchange Fabrictm Provides Fast, Reliable Cloud Connectivity With Advanced Security for Leading Japanese Internet Bank

SBI Sumishin Net Bank, a Japanese online-only bank founded in 2007, needed to move from a legacy on‑premises environment to a multi‑cloud architecture to reduce costs and support its digital banking innovations. As a regulated financial institution, the bank required encrypted, highly secure connectivity to cloud providers and a seamless switchover with a short lead time and no downtime.

By deploying Platform Equinix and Equinix Fabric, SBI Sumishin established direct, secure cross‑connects to AWS, Azure and Office 365 from Equinix IBX data centers in Tokyo and Osaka, enabling one‑click provisioning and instant bandwidth scale‑up. The solution delivered reliable, consistent cloud connectivity, met stringent security and data‑center requirements, improved business continuity across sites, shortened setup times from months to seconds and reduced operating costs.
