Modernizing Finnish pension management through the cloud

Arek Oy wanted to control and cut their mainframe costs and increase elasticity and flexibility at the same time.

25 October 2022

Arek Oy wanted to control and cut their mainframe costs and increase elasticity and flexibility at the same time. Furthermore, the solution had to be compatible with Google Cloud services and meet the FIN-FSA Financial Supervisory Authority (Fiva) requirements related to compliance, continuity, performance and information security.

With Anthos, Arek Oy introduced a hybrid cloud application platform with modern development tooling and automation. The platform provides the same developer experience as in public cloud, with on-premises data sovereignty and faster time-to-market.

Selected mainframe workloads were migrated to the scalable high-performing container platform, with an excellent return on investment. The mainframe MIPS consumption was reduced by about 50% and the project was delivered on time and within budget.

Google Cloud results

  • Addresses data protection regulations while unlocking cloud services
  • Reduces infrastructure maintenance and management costs
  • Improves parallel processing through enhanced containerization achieved with Anthos
  • Manages more than 160,000 events per week and scales out as needed post migration
  • Reduces mainframe use by 50 percent
