Selects Amazon Web Services as strategic provider for cloud
services and data centers and expands existing strategic
relationship with Microsoft for cloud services
State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT) announced today that it has
engaged both Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft as strategic
providers of cloud and infrastructure solutions in connection with
its multi-year technology transformation journey. State Street is
consolidating its current network of segregated data center
facilities to a more optimized data center footprint with
fit-for-purpose designed and managed facilities.
Through this transformation, State Street will modernize and
standardize its technology infrastructure, leveraging automation
and a combination of private cloud and public cloud capabilities.
This hybrid and hyperconverged model combines all the elements of a
traditional data center (storage, compute, networking and
management) and will allow State Street to host workloads across
private or public environments to optimize agility, performance,
and scalability. This model will enable accelerated migration and
modernization of applications, with the flexibility to accommodate
strategic integrations.
As part of its ongoing technology transformation journey, State
Street’s focus on modernization through the facility,
infrastructure, and application stack will increase resiliency,
enable rapid business product innovation, and deliver enhanced
customer experiences. To advance its strategy and accelerate its
technology transformation, State Street has entered into strategic
engagements with leading cloud providers.
State Street selected AWS as one of its strategic cloud
providers and plans to transition its two core North American data
centers to AWS, while also maintaining operations in these data
centers for a period of time as its technology transformation
journey continues to evolve. The data center transition provides a
path for State Street to rapidly modernize the IT infrastructure
layers that a pure public cloud strategy does not address.
Building on the successful implementation and use of the
Microsoft® Azure cloud, previously announced in December 2020,
State Street will expand its use of Azure as a platform for
business applications. State Street will further leverage the
Microsoft Azure platform across the enterprise to augment its
technology infrastructure, standardize platforms and accelerate
technology development.
Architecting and implementing a highly resilient, flexible data
center and cloud architecture is central to State Street’s
strategy. The AWS and Azure cloud architectures will allow clients
to manage and access data in real-time across State Street tools
and third-party services so that they can streamline their
investment processes, while accelerating decision making.
“Our objective is to continually enhance our client experience
and technology solutions while driving efficiency and productivity
across our organization,” said Brian Franz, chief information
officer of State Street Corporation. “By standardizing and
simplifying our technology operating model, we will be able to more
quickly deploy client environments and launch new products and
services, while continuing to enhance the resiliency of our
technology environment and our business operations.”
