Within the financial landscape, Isabel is a key player with great ambitions. Isabel recently insourced its core IT infrastructure and we are currently running two state of the art datacenters in which we have deployed both a traditional IT infrastructure as well as our own private cloud.
The key challenge for the infrastructure team is to have an infrastructure robust enough to handle 30 billion € a day worth of transactions while at the same time have the agility and speed to market of a FinTech.
To achieve this, we want to offer to our internal customers a combination of on-premise resources and (public) cloud resources. From a technology perspective we run on VMware platform for our on-premise solution, an OpenStack for our private cloud and AWS as a public cloud.
