FAQ
A public cloud is owned and maintained by a third party (e.g., Microsoft Azure). It comes with reduced, easily managed costs, as well as practically unlimited scalability and high reliability. However, sharing the hardware and storage with other organizations may cause security concerns and compliance issues.
A private cloud means the computing resources are dedicated to your organization only. The physical infrastructure can be installed at your location or managed by a third party. A private cloud gives you more control over the technical aspects of the cloud, allowing you to tailor it to your business needs. However, it is more expensive to run.
A hybrid cloud combines on-premise infrastructure or a private cloud with a public one. In cloud banking, it allows for getting the best of both worlds: the flexibility of the public cloud with the security and control of the private one or on-premise infrastructure.
In banking, using more than one vendor for cloud-based banking allows financial institutions to achieve several goals simultaneously:
- Comply with regulations regarding the use of the cloud for processing sensitive data
- Ensure data security by storing it in a private cloud
- Maximize cost-efficiency, flexibility and scalability
- Extend into cloud-based banking without restricting themselves to a single vendor or solution
For example, Bank of America diversified its cloud banking operations and added a secure third-party cloud to its existing private one.
To bring cloud costs under control and get the most value out of the technology, consider adopting the FinOps (“financial operations”) approach. According to McKinsey, it can reduce cloud management costs by as much as 20 to 30 percent.
Think of FinOps as a methodology based on the best practices in cloud financial management. Its five pillars are:
- Establishing accountability by standardizing cloud spending management
- Tracking business value by setting and measuring KPIs that demonstrate return on investment
- Optimizing costs by efficiently managing resources, adjusting pricing, and adapting architecture
- Planning and forecasting by identifying cost drivers, allocating spending, and benchmarking efficiency
- Automating FinOps by introducing tools to analyze real-time spending and business value data and create budget alerts
There are three main types of cloud service models in banking. They vary in what aspects of cloud management you’re responsible for in-house:
- Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). The SaaS model implies you get the whole application stack from your vendor. SaaS products include both software and hardware ready to use. The vendor updates and upgrades the software; your scope of responsibility involves only data and system configurations.
- Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). In this case, a cloud banking company provides all the hardware and software resources required for cloud-native application development, deployment, and maintenance. You’re responsible for coding and rolling out apps and updates, as well as managing your data.
- Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). Under this model, the cloud vendor is responsible for the data center hardware and virtualization only. Your team will have to take care of the operating system, middleware, data management, and application development.
