Deepak Hoshing AVP & Head, Finacle Architecture

A basic premise

Technologies change but Fundamentals dont.

These fundamentals are basic architecture principles

Interoperability (Modifiability) Availability

Flexibility (Modifiability) Scalability and Performance

Usability Security

All of these objectives are to be achieved keeping TCO in control

Overview of Finacle 10 architecture

Service Delivery Unix + J2EE

Service Orchestration & Integration Unix + J2EE (Finacle Integrator)

Core Transactional Business Services Unix + C/C++

Common Business services (CIF, SVS, SSO) Unix + J2EE

Database UNIX + ORACLE
