In a major stride towards digital transformation, Bank of Baroda (BoB), India’s second-largest public sector bank, has successfully upgraded its banking infrastructure across 1,600+ branches. This upgrade, in alignment with the Government of India’s ‘Make in India’ initiative, marks a significant move towards technological self-reliance. The bank has adopted indigenously manufactured managed switches from HFCL Limited to enhance its operations, network infrastructure, and security measures.
Boosting Connectivity and Security with HFCL Switches
As part of this modernization effort, HFCL has supplied approximately 3,000 24-port switches to bolster LAN connectivity across Bank of Baroda’s branches. These switches are integrated with the bank’s existing Network Access Controller (NAC) system, offering enhanced network and data security. This integration ensures that only authorized users and devices can access the bank’s infrastructure, significantly boosting security for both employees and customers.
- Key features of the upgrade:
- High-speed, reliable connectivity across branches
- Continuous monitoring and management of network access
- Stricter access controls to ensure security and compliance
By implementing these switches, Bank of Baroda is not only enhancing its customer experience but also reinforcing the safety and reliability of its digital banking services.
A Collaboration to Ensure Seamless Transition
The deployment was executed in collaboration with Dynacons Systems & Solutions, ensuring a seamless transition without interrupting day-to-day operations. The smooth execution of this project underscores the growing competence of Indian technology providers in delivering cutting-edge solutions.
- Project partners:
- HFCL Limited: Provided the managed switches
- Dynacons Systems & Solutions: Managed the deployment process
This collaboration sets a precedent for other public sector entities in India, demonstrating how domestic technology can be leveraged to modernize infrastructure while supporting the country’s manufacturing sector.
