Online banking entity ING Direct’s Australian arm has migrated its entire infrastructure to a private cloud, as part of its strategy to streamline operations.
ING Direct said that it had switched its entire production IT infrastructure onto a private cloud platform under a project known as Zero Touch, which lasted 12 months.

The transferring was a simplification of its production environment, providing new computing, network and storage infrastructure.
ING Direct COO, Simon Andrews, said: "We have completely re-platformed the bank applying our "Bank in a Box" innovation, which virtualised our Development and Test environments to Production."
"We believe this project is unique, making us the only bank to have moved its entire systems to a cloud environment.
"For customers, this translates into improved service standards and an increased capacity for the bank to deliver product and service enhancements," Andrews added.
