Banks, NBFCs, insurers and brokerages don't get to treat data localisation as a checkbox. Silicon Cloud runs your core banking, payments and policy systems entirely within Indian data centres — with the audit trail, DR posture, and local engineering support your compliance team will actually sign off on.
Most cloud outages don't show up as downtime — they show up as an audit finding. These are the six issues that keep coming up when banks, NBFCs and insurers evaluate a move off a global hyperscaler.
Hyperscaler regions get renamed, replicated, and shifted globally for load balancing. When an RBI auditor asks exactly where a customer record sits at 2am on a given date, "somewhere in our Indian region" isn't an answer.
End-of-day settlement, end-of-month statements, and regulatory reporting all move large data volumes at once. On usage-based pricing, that's exactly when the bill jumps — and finance finds out after the invoice, not before.
A primary region in Mumbai with failover routed through a hub outside the country still leaves customer data crossing borders during an incident — the exact moment your compliance posture is under the most scrutiny.
A core banking incident at 11pm shouldn't start with a support ticket queue. BFSI workloads need someone who understands settlement windows on the phone, not a generic first-response script.
When compliance teams need infrastructure attestations for an RBI IS audit or an IRDAI review, pulling evidence from a global provider's shared documentation set can take longer than the audit itself.
Core banking and lending platforms that get architected around one hyperscaler's proprietary services are expensive to move later — even if pricing or compliance requirements change.
Every VM, disk, snapshot and backup runs inside Indian data centres under Nutanix HCI — with no cross-region replication outside India, ever. Your compliance team gets a data map that matches reality.
Isolated availability zones give core banking, UPI switches, and policy administration systems a real DR posture — failover that never leaves the country, tested and documented.
UPI, NEFT and RTGS integrations are latency-sensitive. Regional infrastructure and direct network paths keep transaction processing fast without routing through distant hyperscaler backbones.
Flat, predictable pricing with zero egress charges — even during heavy batch processing windows. Finance teams stop budgeting around surprise line items.
Silicon Cloud is built entirely on Nutanix's hyperconverged infrastructure — the same HCI platform trusted by regulated enterprises globally, delivered with Indian data centre guarantees and local engineering ownership.
Silicon Cloud is architected around the frameworks BFSI compliance teams already report against — not a generic global certification list.
Information security management, audited annually.
IT service management for uptime and change control.
Cloud-specific security and personal data protection controls.
Architected to support Digital Personal Data Protection Act obligations for customer financial data.
Data residency, DR location, and audit evidence are structured to align with RBI's storage of payment system data requirements and IT outsourcing guidelines for regulated entities.
| For BFSI workloads | Silicon Cloud | Global Hyperscaler |
|---|---|---|
| Data residency guarantee | 100% India, contractual | Region-based, not guaranteed |
| DR failover location | In-country multi-AZ | Varies by region pairing |
| Egress charges on batch data | ₹0 | Metered |
| RBI audit evidence turnaround | Direct, local | Via global support queue |
| Dedicated regional engineers | Yes | Tiered ticketing |
| Hardware lock-in | None — open HCI | Proprietary services common |
Yes. All primary and DR workloads run exclusively out of Indian data centres, with data, backups and logs kept within Indian borders and governed by Indian law — supporting the storage-of-payment-system-data expectations regulated entities are held to.
Migrations run in phases with a parallel-run window, so core banking, lending, or policy administration systems keep serving transactions while workloads move across. Cutover is scheduled around your settlement cycles.
Yes. Isolated availability zones inside India let DR and BCP plans for core banking, UPI switches and policy systems be met without routing failover outside the country.
Flat, quote-matched pricing with no egress charges — the cost that typically spikes for banks during end-of-day and end-of-month batch processing on usage-based platforms.
ISO 27001 and ISO 20000-1 certified today, with ISO 27017/27018 in progress and architecture designed to support DPDP Act obligations for institutions handling customer financial data.
