Financial Technology Reimagined in the Cloud
Banking is no longer somewhere you go, but something you do. Imagine going abroad, and the night before your flight, you paid off all your traveling expenses via a direct transfer on your mobile phone without ever leaving the comfort of your home.
This isn’t too farfetched anymore with digital money transfers and online services like Paypal which utilize cloud computing technology. Today, online networks have replaced transferring, exchange, payment, and physical banking all together. Kickstarter in raising funds, has taken what was once a one-channel-at-a-time task to a multi-channeled fundraising platform. Likewise, financial institutions are now investing and partnering with QCT when creating their next generation networks that contain the latest financial technology (FinTech).

| Editor’s Note: QCT’s first banking acquisition of E.Sun Bank in Taiwan has brought about discussions about how our tech can cut the financial sectors’ expenses while improving efficiency. Therefore, this month we highlight Financial Technology (FinTech), and our joint award with E. Sun Bank and Microsoft. We also discuss RDMA, an emerging technology we have implemented in our Microsoft-related solutions; and IX5, our first open-chassis switch, which has caught the interest of big industry players like Dropbox, Uber, Rackspace, etc. |

QCT, E. Sun Bank, and Microsoft Jointly Awarded |
Quanta Cloud Technology (QCT) won “The Most Innovative Cloud Based Project” award in the Cloud Computing Development Program category by The Asset Magazine for its 2016 Triple A Digital Awards on Mar., 15th, 2017. Over 30 financial institutions and financial companies participated in the award competition; and QCT, E.SUN Bank, and Microsoft were the only ones from Taiwan to jointly win this award.

Details of the “Most Innovative Cloud Based Project Award”
E.Sun Bank was looking for a solution that could lower their operation costs, reduce their project life cycle, effectively develop resource pools, integrate management interfaces, and implement auto provisioning.
Based on these requests, QCT planned and offered our QxStack Windows Server Cloud Ready Appliance converged solution. The solution was combined with Windows Server 2012 R2, System Center 2012 R2 and the Microsoft Azure Pack. Our converged- model solution successfully helped E.Sun Bank save 1/3 of its presumed TCO, and dramatically reduced the IT deployment time.

The First QCT Chassis-Based Open Switch |
In recent months, many people in our headquarters should have been no stranger to sometimes seeing a 6U height, probably one-meter long (actually 79cm) device sitting on a cart moving from the gallery to meeting room 317. The discussion for what that unit was usually went, “This is going to be the 2017 critical mission of our switch team.”
Yes, the QuantaMesh BMS T7128-IX5 is QCT’s first chassis-based, most powerful, state-of-the-art 128port 100G switch. |
But you may have also heard that Facebook introduced an 8U height chassis-based switch was 128x 100G to OCP dubbed Backpack in November of last year. So, what sets the IX5 apart from the competition if it is based on the same hardware architecture? Find out more |

RDMA Technology Accelerates Application Performance in Windows Server 2016 |
 |
Over the last few years, people have talked about the potential of remote direct memory access (RDMA) technology to boost the performance of applications by allowing direct access to memory. In the past, a CPU’s read/write process would not allow work to be performed until the previous operation was completed. |
But with RDMA, the CPU can process other tasks while another application is running. Therefore, RDMA is highly applicable and beneficial when one’s workload is heavy or if an environment has high latency. Overall, RDMA has effectively improved memory access performance between nodes. Learn more |
