Managing a distributed network of bank branches, ATMs, and administrative offices can be incredibly complex. Typically, this involves dealing with multiple vendors, disparate hardware, intricate configurations, and several different management dashboards. This traditional multi-vendor approach leads to complexity, rigidity, high lifecycle costs, and a struggle with low latency requirements. For banks in Kolhapur aiming for operational efficiency and cost reduction while expanding their reach, a simpler, more flexible solution is needed. Cnergee offers exactlythis through our unified Network as a Service (NaaS) platform.
Cnergee’s NaaS platform collapses multiple traditional networking and security components into a single, integrated stack. This unified, yet modular solution includes SD-WAN, Security (NGFW, IPS/IDS, End-Point Security), Managed WiFi, and Network Management, all delivered from a single platform. This contrasts sharply with the “Traditional Multi-Vendor Networking” approach characterized by “Multiple Vendors, ” “Complex Rules, ” and “Complex Dashboards” . Our “unified Software defined Network stack” provides “Clarity” , making network management far simpler. A key functional advantage for banks is the simplification of deployment and ongoing management. Cnergee enables “True Zero Touch provisioning” . This means devices at branches or ATMs can be shipped and deployed quickly with minimal technical expertise required on-site. The concept of “FE LESS installation” or needing only a “basic L0 engineer at branch” drastically reduces deployment time and costs, enabling “Rapid branch rollouts”. The devices lack a local GUI/CLI, with all configuration and management handled remotely via our orchestrator using secure REST API based connectivity. This not only enhances security by preventing local tampering but also centralizes and simplifies management.
The integrated nature of the Cnergee stack allows for “single pane of glass reporting” across SDWAN, LAN, and Security. This means IT teams in Kolhapur’s banks can monitor the entire network posture, get real-time alerts, and access detailed historical reports from a single web-based interface, eliminating the need to juggle multiple management systems. This comprehensive, integrated visibility saves time and resources. Features like LAN monitoring provide visibility into elements like OS type, patches, applications, and even hardware details for connected devices. Centralized WLAN control and monitoring similarly offer a single pane of glass for the entire LAN posture.
From a cost perspective, Cnergee’s solution is highly attractive. Our pricing is “Subscription based” and “Opex Based” , providing predictable “Pay-as-you Go” transparency. This eliminates the need for large upfront capital expenditures (Capex) and allows banks to scale their network easily as their needs change. A major cost saving comes from eliminating the need for expensive dedicated lines like MPLS or ILL and static IPs. Our SD-WAN solution allows organizations to use less expensive connectivity options such as broadband and 4G/5G, resulting in “significant cost savings” . The sources specifically mention achieving ” 60% cost savings” and a “50%+ Opex reduction” for ATM infrastructure compared to traditional methods. Lower overall costs and enhanced margins in larger deals are also cited benefits. Flexibility is another critical functional advantage. The Cnergee architecture adapts to any design, supporting deployment in public or private clouds, on-prem (VMs or appliances), Hub-Spoke, or SASE architectures. This allows banks to integrate the Cnergee stack into their existing network infrastructure seamlessly, whether upgrading specific components or building out new locations. The modular approach means you can “seamlessly integrate any of our cutting-edge components with existing services” , allowing for “phased migration rather than a complex ‘lift and shift’ operation”.
Our Managed WiFi solution supports over 2000 brands and models of Access Points, offering flexibility and cost advantage by allowing reuse of existing infrastructure. The solution is described as “hardware agnostic” . This flexibility, combined with rapid deployment capabilities (Industry first “Ship-to-deploy” with eSIM enables faster POC & Seamless deployments), simplifies the sales cycle and accelerates revenue realization for partners, but translates to faster service deployment for the bank.
For banks operating in Kolhapur, including the many co-operative banks, a “Make in India” solution like Cnergee offers peace of mind and compliance with local norms. Our experience with over 100+ banks, including over 65 DCBs in Maharashtra, means we understand the specific operational and regulatory landscape you navigate. In essence, Cnergee’s unified NaaS stack is designed to provide a “Simple, Flexible, Economical, Intent Aware” networking solution. It cuts through the complexity of traditional networks, simplifies management through a single pane of glass, offers significant cost advantages via Opex pricing and efficient resource utilization, and provides the flexibility needed to adapt to your evolving requirements. This focus on simplicity and cost-effectiveness, without compromising security, makes it an ideal fit for streamlining and securing banking operations across Kolhapur.
