Case Study: Red Link achieves uninterrupted digital payments during a 50% transaction surge with HPE Aruba Networking

Red Link enables millions to continue making financial transactions despite disruption

Red Link S.A., Argentina’s leading financial-transaction processor used by about 26 million people, faced a sudden surge in digital payments during the COVID-19 lockdowns—volumes jumped nearly 50% year over year, reaching roughly 47 million transactions a day. The company needed to keep its BASE24 processing platform and underlying infrastructure highly available to ensure uninterrupted payments and services for banks, businesses and consumers.

Red Link scaled its mission‑critical stack with HPE NonStop X NS7 servers, HPE NonStop Dynamic Capacity and HPE Virtualized NonStop, supported by HPE ProLiant, Aruba hardware and professional/financial services. The team doubled compute capacity within minutes, raised throughput from ~1,050 to ~1,200 transactions per second, deployed new servers in under a month via HPE Financial Services leasing, and maintained continuous operation—handling the ~50% volume increase, sustaining profitability and enabling ongoing digital-payment growth.
