Selected cases of Zhiwang | Guanglian Cloud Network integrates intelligent drive to reshape the new pattern of financial digital transformation
May.30.2025
Against the backdrop of the booming digital economy, the financial industry is accelerating towards intelligence and globalization. The upgrading of network infrastructure has become the key to restructuring the competitive advantage of financial enterprises. As a leading comprehensive financial group in Asia, a global enterprise has business coverage of over 200 million individual customers and 50 million corporate customers, with an average daily transaction volume of over 100 million. Such a large business volume and complex operational requirements place almost stringent requirements on the stability, efficiency, and security of its network infrastructure, and also expose many pain points that urgently need to be addressed .....
Multiple challenges coexist: Traditional architecture hinders business development The group has established a vast branch network worldwide, covering various business scenarios such as bank branches, insurance branches, and asset management subsidiaries. However, traditional network architectures are increasingly revealing the following prominent issues:
Weak network collaboration and heavy operation and maintenance burden: Most branches lack professional IT personnel, slow fault response, and can easily affect key businesses such as transactions and clearing. Meanwhile, the headquarters is unable to conduct real-time monitoring and unified scheduling of branch networks, resulting in resource waste and security blind spots.
The cost of dedicated line mode is high: Although the original dedicated line of the group is stable, with the expansion of the group's business and the sharp increase in quantity, the network cost continues to rise.
Increased security and compliance risks: Under the premise of dispersed network architecture and insufficient visibility, there are blind spots in the network security protection of some branches; With stricter regulations and increasing data protection requirements, the group needs to establish a high-level, controllable and traceable security compliance system to prevent potential system risks and data breaches.
Zhiqi New Article: Analysis of Financial Grade Intelligent Cloud Network Architecture Faced with complex challenges, Optical Network has tailored a set of intelligent cloud network solutions for the group, integrating edge computing, SD-WAN and zero trust security architecture, and comprehensively upgrading the intelligence level of the financial network.
Edge cloud network integrated architecture
Build edge cloud backbone POP nodes in six important branch cities of the group, including Shenzhen and Shanghai, to create a nationwide interconnected dual plane cloud network architecture. Branch offices can connect to the nearest location according to their geographical location, improving network response speed and alleviating the problem of IT manpower shortage. The headquarters centrally controls CPE equipment through a unified control platform to achieve remote configuration, fault diagnosis, and strategic scheduling.
● Multi link fusion access
At the bottom of the network, multiple links such as CN2, MPLS, and the Internet are used for concurrent access. Based on intelligent routing algorithms, critical business traffic is dynamically allocated as needed to ensure data transmission quality while reducing reliance on traditional dedicated lines. By utilizing flexible network resource orchestration mechanisms, bandwidth utilization can be effectively improved.
Financial grade security defense line Targeting the high-level security and compliance requirements of the financial industry, the solution has built-in multiple encryption, micro isolation, and AI intelligent protection capabilities; Through business isolation strategies and intelligent threat perception mechanisms, effectively resist external attacks and horizontal penetration risks, and comprehensively enhance branch security resilience; The platform has passed the Level Protection 2.0 Level 3 certification, meeting the requirements of financial regulatory compliance.
Remarkable achievements: driving the intelligent transformation of financial networks
The implementation of the intelligent cloud network architecture has brought significant economic benefits and management improvements to the group. The application value increases bandwidth utilization by 70%, reduces line costs by 60%, and improves WAN operation and maintenance management efficiency by 55%. As the Chief Information Officer of the group stated, "Guanglian Century's solution not only solves our current network pain points, but also builds digital connectivity capabilities for the group for the next 5-10 years, which is an important support for the 'Technology Empowered Finance' strategy
Joining Hands with the Future: Deepening Cooperation and Drawing a Blueprint for Financial Technology Together At a new starting point, both parties will continue to deepen cooperation. In the wave of digitalization, Guanglian will continue to use intelligent cloud networks as a bridge to create a more stable, secure, and efficient digital base for financial institutions, empowering every business innovation and value leap.
