Cognizant deployed BASE24-eps on AWS and sustained more than double its target transaction load with no failed transactions OMAHA, Neb. Under simulated point-of-sale load, BASE24-eps sustained more than double its target transaction load for 30 minutes with no failed transactions. For banks, the case for the cloud comes down to scaling with growth, absorbing volume spikes without buying hardware for the peak, managing cost and keeping tight security and control over systems their customers rely on every second. This testing adds to the evidence that BASE24-eps, which already processes card payments for institutions worldwide, delivers the performance banks count on, now on AWS. The common assumption is that moving card processing to the cloud means adopting a newly built platform, a multi-year program that brings its own cost and risk.
