KeyBank Modernizes Applications with Google Cloud and Cisco HyperFlex

[MUSIC PLAYING]

KEITH SILVESTRI: We have 1,100 branches and around 1,100 ATMs,

25,000 employees, $140 billion in assets.

It's almost a 200-year-old company.

I think in the banking industry, you either transform digitally

or you will not survive.

We are a Cisco shop.

We run a lot of Cisco product, including ACI and our 9Ks.

And when it came to running Google product, Anthos,

it was a natural selection for us to partner with you.

I think Anthos is a true differentiator for us.

And I think about it in terms of releases that we can do,

where we can have actually releases

that if we chose to, using our Agile methodology,

we could have releases on a daily basis.

We're excited for HyperFlex, the hyperconverge

that we will run Anthos on.

And I think it's really going to be something that's

going to take off for both companies,

because I spoke to my engineers that did the work

to set Anthos and HyperFlex up.

The setup was seamless.

KAUSTABH DAS: So when we were looking at this cloud space,

we found that Google had a unique, refreshing philosophy

towards cloud that really attracted us

towards working with them.

They had this approach of a open cloud

based on open platforms, based on open source,

recognizing that there will be multiple clouds out there,

which was very similar to our philosophy.

KEITH SILVESTRI: Google was the natural choice for us

just in terms of the security and the enterprise commitments

that they've made.
