Case Study: a multinational banking and financial services corporation achieves real-time digital banking scalability with GridGain

a multinational banking corporation accelerates digital transformation with GridGain, processing 10x faster and handling 7x more digital interactions

GridGain helped a multinational banking corporation overcome the limitations of its legacy mainframe infrastructure, which was buckling under a seven-fold increase in digital interactions, new open banking regulations, and surging transaction volumes. The challenges included unacceptable latency from middleware, the loss of hardware-level high availability, and strict new processing deadlines for payments.

The solution involved deploying the GridGain in-memory computing platform as a multi-workload strategic layer. This included mainframe shielding, processing for SEPA Direct Debits and real-time payments, and an internal developer service. GridGain delivered a 10x acceleration in direct debit processing, eliminated a 300ms latency bottleneck, absorbed the 7x higher digital load without mainframe scaling, and enabled software-level high availability on commodity Linux infrastructure.
