Neweb Technologies Partners with Chief Telecom to Build a Highly Secure Digital Financial Environment
Seamless Integration of Chief’s CCX, IDC, and AWS Cloud for Enhanced Convenience, Security, and Reliability
Hsing-Po Chung, CEO of Neweb Technologies
With the rapid adoption of digital finance in everyday life, Neweb Technologies, a Fintech pioneer with over 20 years of experience, provides a comprehensive range of digital financial solutions, both online and offline, with a continuous focus on enhancing convenience, security, and reliability. To meet the growing demand for seamless cross-border transactions and leverage the diverse advantages of public clouds, Neweb Technologies has transformed its infrastructure by fully deploying on AWS. Additionally, it leveraged Chief’s CCX and IDC services to comprehensively strengthen the network.
Hsing-Po Chung, CEO of Neweb Technologies, commented, “Neweb provides a wide range of payment collection and disbursement services, requiring connections with numerous financial institutions and partners. To ensure stable cloud connectivity and high-performance transmission, we have adopted Chief Telecom’s CCX and IDC services. By directly connecting to AWS, we have significantly enhanced our infrastructure, resulting in increased traffic capacity, lower latency, higher availability, and enhanced protection against DDoS attacks, ultimately delivering a seamless and secure transaction experience for our users.”
The dynamic infrastructure underpinning the evolution of financial technology
Founded in 2000, Neweb Technologies has been at the forefront of the Fintech industry. As a third-party payment processor, the company integrates various payment methods to provide seamless transactions. Adhering to the highest security standards, such as PCI DSS and ISO 27001, Neweb serves over 300,000 merchants across diverse industries, including e-commerce, online courses, beauty, and hospitality.
Neweb Technologies has undergone a significant evolution in its data center infrastructure. From a self-built data center to a colocation facility in 2010, the company fully embraced AWS public cloud in 2023 to drive fintech innovation. Due to the uncontrollable data transmission quality of Site-to-Site VPN, Neweb utilized Chief Telecom’s IDC colocation and CCX services. This direct connection enhances stability and resilience, mitigating business risks caused by network disruptions. Additionally, Neweb deployed a hybrid cloud infrastructure with on-premises and cloud-based systems for redundancy.
Mr. Hsing-Po Chung shared, “Our services cater to a diverse range of industries. As globalization trends and business expansion continue, an increasing number of merchants are hosting their systems overseas. To meet the surging cross-border demands, we are dynamically adjusting our infrastructure.”
Selected based on global presence and professional competence
Before adopting CCX, Neweb Technologies carefully evaluated Chief Telecom’s position as a pivotal hub for international submarine cables that offer high levels of redundancy. The direct connection via CCX eliminates the potential risks associated with intermediate nodes. Moreover, the distinct disaster recovery architecture across different buildings, as opposed to the traditional single-building model, fully meets the demands of international connectivity and business continuity.
Similarly, IDC selection is a critical decision. Having experienced both self-built and colocation data centers, Neweb Technologies has realized the significant challenges associated with self-built data centers. The high maintenance costs, strict regulatory compliance, and the need for a robust infrastructures, such as stable power supply, cooling systems, and advanced monitoring and alerting systems, make it a complex and costly endeavor, especially when considering the limitations of a typical office building.
Compared to self-built data center, Chief’s IDC colocation service offers highly professional infrastructure support, eliminating the need for clients to manage complex technical operations and regulatory compliance. This also enhances stability, security, and resource utilization. Neweb Technologies, therefore, has been able to significantly reduce its total cost of ownership (TCO).
Another significant benefit is the substantial enhancement of security. Digital finance faces numerous risks, including increasing traffic volumes and malicious attacks such as DDoS. These can negatively impact user experience or even compromise user rights. However, the direct connection provided by CCX enables Neweb Technologies to maintain stable network connections with financial institutions and partners, ensuring uninterrupted transactions even under high traffic conditions.
Prioritizing high availability and security
Neweb Technologies achieved a remarkable milestone in 2023, processing NT$90 billion in transactions through its diverse digital financial solutions, including the NewebPay, ezAIO, and ezPay. Looking ahead to 2024, the company is aiming to facilitate over NT$100 billion in collections and payments.
As the business continues to expand, Neweb Technologies remains committed to enhancing the stability and security of the digital financial services. Neweb’s subsidiary companies are undergoing continuous optimization. High availability and security will be the cornerstone of Neweb’s future endeavors so as to consistently provide consumers with a secure and convenient payment experience.
