SunGard has packaged its Ambit Payments system together with Sun Microsystems' software and hardware to deliver a pre-tested and pre-configured system for corporate payments.
The new package, Ambit Corporate Payments Express, will be offered as a white-labelled "off-the-shelf" solution that will help banks capture new corporate payments and cash management services business, says the vendor.
The SOX-compliant package is designed to provide secure payments processing, support multiple formats, payments and instruments, and help achieve ease of integration and connection with external networks such as Swift.
The solution will be deployed on selected Sun Sparc Enterprise CMT servers with CoolThreads energy-saving technology. It will also be deployed on Intel Xeon Sun Fire x64 server platforms running Solaris Cluster technology in combination with GlassFish (standards-based Java EE), Java CAPS Financial EAI and the MySQL database servers.
Ambreesh Khanna, global head of financial services at Sun Microsystems, comments: "The solution's underlying infrastructure software and hardware stack has been optimised for performance, allowing banks to host a maximum number of corporate clients on a single configuration, helping to improve total cost-of-ownership."
