Italy’s Largest Bank Modernizes Sovereign Banking Infrastructure with EDB and CloudNativePG

Across Europe, banks are modernizing infrastructure to support cloud-native applications while maintaining strict governance over critical systems. Intesa Sanpaolo runs one of the most extensive technology estates in European banking, including one of Italy’s largest Oracle Exadata environments supporting mission-critical services. As their digital banking services expanded, provisioning timelines lengthened, replication processes strained infrastructure resources, and failover required coordinated manual intervention. These constraints limited the bank’s ability to efficiently scale Kubernetes platforms, microservices, and sovereign operational models.
