JuniperX – The Open-Source Petabyte Data Migration and Management Solution

Overview

The financial services industry is awash with talk about a digital transformation, but how do you successfully deliver change? For many large banks, there’s serious appetite to shift core data and business processes to the cloud, but executing a ‘lift and shift’ is far more complex in reality. For banks dealing with petabytes of data per day, multi-cloud environments promise unprecedented visibility and control. Nevertheless, the challenges of migrating data from disparate on-premise systems to the cloud cannot be underestimated.

At Infosys, we’ve worked closely with leading banks to safely move data away from the type of mainframes that remain integral to 90% of the world’s banking infrastructure. How do we do this? We do this through JuniperX, an open-source data migration and management platform.

Data migrations are complex and daunting, but necessary for survival.

For many large banks, there’s serious appetite to shift core data and business processes to the cloud, but executing a ‘lift and shift’ is far more complex in reality. At Infosys, we’ve worked closely with leading banks, to safely move data away from the type of mainframes that remain integral to 90% of the world’s banking infrastructure.

How do we do this?

We do this through JuniperX, a multi-cloud platform that is uniquely open-source. No matter which cloud provider you’re using, JuniperX manages a quick, seamless, secure and reliable transfer of mission-critical data.

Data migration, management and governance on a single platform

JuniperX is a petabyte scale, multi-cloud data management platform that is uniquely open-source. No matter which cloud provider you’re using, JuniperX manages a quick, seamless, secure and reliable transfer of mission-critical data. JuniperX automates the collection and delivery of data from a variety of on-premise locations to the cloud.

In just a few months since launch, the solution has been quick to deliver benefits:

50% reduction in costs of ownership on data ingestions
The time taken to create and batch data pipelines to the cloud – less than 30 minutes
8x boost in performance from just one Oracle Cloud database
The time taken to deploy new data feeds reduced from six/eight weeks to two weeks
The time taken to process one terabyte reduced from six to eight hours to 40 minutes
15 minutes – the time it takes to produce a report on data security

Challenges & Solutions

Legacy systems are costly and can challenge data integrity and authenticity

With JuniperX, you can fast-track a solution that saves millions of dollars on legacy hardware, support and services. You’ll also benefit from optimized performance as databases run at up to eight times their previous speed^[2] — the driving force you need for DevOps ways of working that, in turn, improve time to value.

Scale of data migration at banks can slow the process

As an open-source platform, petabyte scale JuniperX automates migration from a variety of on-premise locations, dramatically reducing the time and cost required for batch processing, and subsequent access to the data you need. Now decision-making can happen in near real-time. And you can support agile programming methods that deliver faster time to market with the digital services customer demand.

Data security risks are rising — robust compliance and governance process are required

A single platform acquires and distributes all of your on-premises data to the cloud provider of your choice. Built-in utilities ease compliance and monitoring, and support intelligence hubs for advanced analytics.
