Standard Chartered and Broadcom are joining forces to accelerate the bank’s global infrastructure modernization by establishing a secure, resilient private cloud foundation to seamlessly support critical banking services across 54 global markets.
As an international bank, Standard Chartered requires infrastructure that delivers operational consistency at global scale while staying ahead of evolving regulatory and security requirements.
Standard Chartered has realigned its infrastructure delivery to a fully integrated software-defined private cloud environment using VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). VCF embeds intrinsic zero-trust security directly into the infrastructure layer, providing uninterrupted availability and compressing infrastructure deployment from weeks to a day.
With 70% of its global infrastructure footprint already running on the new architecture, Standard Chartered has demonstrated that a consistent private cloud is successful at a global scale—laying the foundation for the next frontier in secure, resilient and compliant banking innovation.
John Sharratt, global head of technology and infrastructure at Standard Chartered, said that standardizing a fully virtualized software-defined infrastructure across our global operations enables Standard Chartered to meet the evolving demands of our clients while strengthening our technological core with the responsiveness, resilience and regulatory compliance that global banking demands.
“Our client-centric, long-term investments with global service providers, such as Broadcom, strengthen our ability to deliver always-on banking services in an ever changing and dynamic landscape, while accelerating innovation with a secure private cloud foundation,” said Sharratt.
Krish Prasad, SVP and general manager of the VMware Cloud Foundation Division at Broadcom, said global financial institutions require infrastructure that combines resilience, security and operational simplicity at scale.
By modernizing the infrastructure that underpins its core banking, payments and digital services, Standard Chartered has enhanced its future-ready technology platform for sustainable growth and client-centric innovation—one that is anchored on a secure and resilient private cloud foundation.
