Stop brownouts from cascading into outages
Deploy an Active Resilience Layer that shields your systems of record from digital volatility—achieving sub-millisecond latency, DORA compliance, and continuous uptime without a rip-and-replace migration.
The Problem
Are outages & brownouts impacting your business?
Legacy cores can't absorb modern digital volatility—but full rewrites are too risky and too slow for DORA mandates.
âš
Cascading failures
When the core slows, retry storms amplify into system-wide outages that take hours to resolve.
âš
Data inconsistency
Stale entitlements and limits across channels create windows for double-spending and fraud bypass.
âš
Brand & trust erosion
High-profile incidents erode confidence across segments. Customers expect a bank that's always on.
âš
Regulatory exposure
DORA/NIS2 mandates increase oversight, reporting, and penalties for operational resilience failures.
The Solution
Three pillars of active resilience
Legacy cores can't absorb modern digital volatility—but full rewrites are too risky and too slow for DORA mandates.
01
Stabilize the core
Hazelcast acts as an architectural buffer for the core database, shielding it from digital volatility and retry storms. Reduces DB read amplification by up to 80%.
Fewer cascades, lower contention, predictable performance
02
Preserve decision integrity
Tiered consistency: strong consistency for entitlements, limits, and fraud signals. Bounded staleness for Customer 360 and history views where ultra-low latency is prioritized.
Trustworthy decisions under stress — zero double-spending
03
Keep critical services up
Automated graceful degradation: critical journeys (login, payments, card auth) stay active while non-essential features are temporarily shed during peak stress.

Capabilities
Speed. Scale. Simplicity.
Key platform capabilities that power real-time resilience at enterprise scale.
WAN replication
Active-Active, DR, and Blue-Green deployment across multi-site clusters for continuous availability.
Flexible consistency (CP/AP)
Choose CP for strong consistency on entitlements and limits, or AP for high-availability reads — per data structure.
SQL support
Query distributed data with familiar SQL syntax. No new query language to learn.
Stream processing
Unified real-time event processing and in-memory data store in a single platform.
Rolling upgrades
Apply software upgrades seamlessly while your business continues at full pace — zero downtime.
Encryption & auth
In-transit encryption with strong authentication options to meet the strictest compliance requirements.

The architectural buffer
Hazelcast sits between your volatile digital channels and the stable core—absorbing retry storms, maintaining "Last Known Good" state, and ensuring the system of record is reserved for critical writes and settlement.
Instead of a database bottleneck causing a site-wide crash, the buffer layer keeps the UI responsive during DB contention while protecting transaction correctness.

Graceful Degradation
Prioritize what matters in a crisis.
Architecture designed for the strictest regulatory frameworks in financial services.
Tier 1 — Always active
Critical services
These journeys never go down. They are protected by the full resilience stack at all times.
Tier 2 — Gracefully degraded
Secondary services
Reduced fidelity under stress — slower response, cached data, limited search depth.
Tier 3 — Shed during peak stress
Value-add services
Temporarily offline during disruption. First to shed, first to restore when load normalizes.
Regulatory alignment
Built to withstand DORA requirements
Architecture designed for the strictest regulatory frameworks in financial services.
Multi-site continuity
Strong consistency
For correctness-critical controls — entitlements, limits, and coordination primitives.
Encryption in transit
TLS with strong authentication options meeting enterprise security baselines.
Fewer fragile point tools
Unified platform means fewer failure modes to document, test, and explain to regulators.
Business Impact
Reclaim thousands of engineering hours by containing blast radiuses and reducing "Critical" tier incidents.
