Japanese payments company selects HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud
platform to underpin mission-critical settlement services and
process increased credit card transaction volume
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced that
CARDNET, Japan’s leading credit card payment network, has selected
the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform to deliver a robust, agile
cloud service and support the growing demand for digital payment
and settlement services in Japan. The new HPE cloud service will
deliver increased performance, capacity and availability to address
the unpredictable market movements and the accelerated uptake of
online payments.
Established in 1995, CARDNET is Japan’s leading credit card
settlement agency, and serves as an intermediary between merchants,
credit card companies and financial institutions across Japan. It
provides a payment and settlement platform which ensures smooth
purchasing experiences for credit card and other cashless
transactions. CARDNET has seen a rapid increase in demand, as
consumers and businesses increasingly favor online and digital
transactions, with the total number of transactions in 2020
reaching 118% higher than the prior year. Furthermore, the
country’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has set a goal of
40% cashless payments by 2027 in Japan.
CARDNET needed to modernize its settlement platform to meet the
rapid growth in transaction volumes. HPE GreenLake delivers the
simplicity, ease and agility of the cloud experience through a
pay-per-use model while also ensuring data security and compliance.
The platform can scale up and down as business demand fluctuates,
thus delivering more flexibility and agility for CARDNET to manage
the unpredictable demand.
“We were seeking a solution that gives us the reliability and
security that we need for a mission-critical payment service, as
well as a solution that is flexible and agile to handle
unpredictable market conditions,” said Yuji Nakamoto, executive
vice president of Host System Development, CARDNET. “HPE’s track
record in delivering fault-tolerant, reliable systems in the
financial service industry gives us full confidence in the HPE
GreenLake platform to support the new payments platform and process
the massive increase in credit card transactions.”
HPE is working in close collaboration with Tokyo-based system
integrator and service provider, TIS Inc to deliver the payment
system. The solution, delivered as a cloud service through the HPE
GreenLake platform, uses the HPE Superdome Flex server for
in-memory processing and mission-critical capabilities to ensure
always-on performance. It also leverages HPE XP8 Storage for
high-performance storage to deliver 24-hour access, high
availability, and twice as much batch processing performance of the
former system. The solution synchronizes data to remote sites in
real-time, enabling quick service switchover in the event of a
large-scale disaster.
“With the recent surge in cashless payments in the country, it’s
never been more important to produce a resilient platform that can
connect merchants of all types, across various industries, with
credit card companies and financial institutions,” added Hirokazu
Mochizuki, managing director, HPE Japan. “With the HPE GreenLake
edge-to-cloud platform, we can remodel CARDNET’s core systems to be
manageable and flexible in such an unpredictable business climate,
allowing them to be comfortable handling growing digital
transaction demands.”
The HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform provides customers with
a powerful foundation to drive digital transformation. The HPE
GreenLake platform can run on-premises, at the edge, or in a
colocation facility, and combines the simplicity and agility of the
cloud with the governance, compliance, and visibility that comes
with hybrid IT. HPE GreenLake offers a range of cloud services that
accelerate innovation, including cloud services for analytics, bare
metal, compute, container management, core payment systems, data
protection, electronic medical records, 5G, HCI, high performance
compute, machine learning operations, networking, risk management,
SAP HANA, storage, VDI, and VMs. The HPE GreenLake business is
rapidly growing with over $5.2 billion USD in total contract value
and 900 partners selling HPE GreenLake. Today, HPE GreenLake has
about 1200 enterprise customers across 50 countries in all industry
sectors and sizes including Fortune 500 companies, government and
public sector organizations, and small and midmarket enterprises.
