📅 August 30, 2005 - Sun Microsystems (sun.com) has helped Dutch financial conglomerate ING deploy a new Internet banking infrastructure for its largest retail bank Postbank, the companies announced on Tuesday. The full implementation of the front-end of the Internet banking infrastructure, comprised of computer infrastructure, network infrastructure and middleware, was implemented by Sun. The company says the robust and scalable infrastructure will give customers a more stable environment for their financial transactions.
 "ING selected Sun Microsystems because it showed a true partner approach right from the beginning," says Erik Dralans, worldwide head of OPS & IT Banking for ING Group. "In addition to this, Sun proved it was able to deliver a complex infrastructure in a challenging environment, fitting our ambitious growth strategy. The new environment substantially enhances the customer experience. It is also adaptable.
