Application delivery for financial services & fintech

Keep financial applications, payment services and APIs available, secure and resilient across cloud, on-premises and hybrid infrastructure.  From digital banking and payment platforms to customer portals and partner APIs, Total Uptime helps financial organizations build application delivery infrastructure designed to stay available when individual systems, locations or providers fail.

Key application delivery use cases for financial services

Consolidate DNS, reduce incident risk, and create sticky recurring revenue with a premium managed DNS product.

Keep APIs and payment services available

APIs connect financial applications to customers, payment processors, partners, mobile applications and third-party services. Distribute API traffic across healthy infrastructure and reduce dependence on individual application endpoints or locations.

Relevant capabilities: Load balancing, health monitoring, failover, WAAP.

Build high availability into financial applications

Avoid relying on a single server, data centre or application endpoint. Health checks and intelligent traffic management can direct requests toward available infrastructure when individual components become unavailable.

Relevant capabilities: Cloud Load Balancing, EdgeADC, GSLB.

Create an independent DNS failover layer

DNS can become a critical dependency during an infrastructure outage. Use resilient authoritative DNS and DNS-based traffic management to redirect users when an application, region, data centre or provider becomes unavailable.

Relevant capabilities: Cloud DNS, GSLB DNS Add-on, Self-Hosted GSLB.

Reduce cloud concentration risk

Applications hosted entirely within one provider can remain exposed to provider-wide incidents. Build multi-cloud and hybrid architectures that give applications alternative infrastructure and traffic paths.

 

Relevant capabilities: Multi-Cloud Networking, GSLB, BGP over GRE VPN.

Protect internet-facing applications and APIs

Financial applications and APIs are attractive targets for automated attacks and application-layer threats. Add Web Application and API Protection in front of internet-facing services without sacrificing application availability.

 

Relevant capability: Managed WAAP.

Support operational resilience and DORA strategies

Financial organisations subject to DORA need to consider ICT resilience, third-party dependencies and concentration risk. Total Uptime provides application delivery capabilities that can form part of a broader operational resilience architecture by enabling redundant infrastructure, traffic failover and greater deployment flexibility.

 

Relevant capabilities: DNS resilience, GSLB, load balancing, multi-cloud networking and hybrid application delivery.

Deployment flexibility for complex financial infrastructure

Financial organizations don’t all operate the same infrastructure model, and many cannot simply move every workload into the public cloud.

Managed Cloud

Use Total Uptime’s managed infrastructure for services such as Cloud Load Balancing, DNS, GSLB, WAAP and multi-cloud connectivity.

Self Hosted

Deploy application delivery capabilities within your own data centre, private cloud or controlled infrastructure using EdgeADC and Self-Hosted GSLB.

Hybrid

Combine managed and self-hosted capabilities to support applications that span cloud platforms, private infrastructure and multiple locations.

Application delivery technology for financial workloads

The right architecture depends on where your applications run and what needs to remain available. These are the Total Uptime capabilities most relevant to financial services and fintech environments.

Cloud Load Balancing

Distribute traffic across healthy application infrastructure and maintain service during endpoint failure.

Cloud DNS

Reduce DNS dependency and maintain reliable name resolution for customer-facing services.

WAAP

Protect banking applications, portals, payment services and APIs against application-layer threats.

GSLB DNS Add-on

Redirect users between regions, data centres or providers during outages.

Multi-Cloud Networking

Connect distributed application environments and support multi-cloud resilience.

BGP over GRE VPN

Extend secure connectivity between customer infrastructure and Total Uptime services.

edgeADC

Load balancing and application delivery within data centres, private cloud and controlled environments.

edgeGSLB

Manage application availability and traffic distribution across multiple sites.

Why Total Uptime

Resilience starts with eliminating unnecessary dependencies

Total Uptime is focused on a simple outcome: keeping applications available.

Application availability by design

Health monitoring, load balancing, DNS and traffic management help remove individual application endpoints, locations and infrastructure providers as single points of failure.

Cloud and self-hosted technology

Choose managed services, self-hosted infrastructure or a combination of both instead of forcing every application into one deployment model.

100% uptime commitment

Our managed platform is built around availability, backed by our 100% uptime SLA for applicable services.

Built for distributed infrastructure

Manage application traffic across data centres, cloud providers, regions and hybrid environments.

Engineers when you need them

Work with experienced Application Delivery engineers who understand traffic management, DNS, load balancing, failover and complex application infrastructure.
