Thanks to Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer, the bank will be able to combine the advantages of a cloud infrastructure while maintaining its on-premises databases. This solution integrates advanced encryption and real-time monitoring technologies, providing the highest levels of data integrity. Furthermore, the company will be able to leverage the full range of automation features offered by Oracle Database, such as process optimization, improved accessibility to databases across the Group, and automatic failover to enhance system reliability and resilience, thus ensuring optimal service continuity. This approach will also reduce latency between applications and data, improving operational efficiency and overall performance, while simplifying obsolescence management.

This alliance is part of BNP Paribas' ongoing cloud strategy. For several years, the bank has been investing in dedicated private cloud solutions to optimize its technology infrastructure while ensuring control over data hosted in Group-owned data centers. In line with its cloud strategy, and with the aim of guaranteeing the security of customer data, BNP Paribas has not placed any customer data or production environments containing sensitive data in the public cloud.

“Our integration of Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer is fully aligned with BNP Paribas’ cloud strategy of deploying the full potential of these technologies within a secure framework. Thanks to optimal data management, this partnership allows the bank to safeguard business continuity while innovating to ensure the highest quality of service for our customers,” said Bernard Gavgani, Chief Information Officer of BNP Paribas.

“Financial organizations are rapidly adopting cloud technologies to reduce costs and accelerate their ability to capitalize on new market opportunities,” said Juan Loaiza, Executive Vice President of Mission-Critical Database Technologies at Oracle. “By using Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer, BNP Paribas will migrate its database infrastructure to a modern, agile, and cost-effective cloud model that will enable them to innovate at a faster pace while meeting stringent data localization and privacy regulations.”
