Colonial First State (CFS) | Banking and Financial Services | 1600 | $850M | Australia | Zuri Technologies | zCloud | Application Hosting and Computing Services | 2024 | Kyndryl |
In 2024, Colonial First State implemented zCloud, an Application Hosting and Computing Services platform, to host its Fund Management System and related workloads with Kyndryl as the implementation partner. The initiative was executed to separate CFS core business systems from its parent entity and to centralize fund management operations into a managed mainframe as a service delivery model.
The technical implementation moved approximately 35TiB of data into zCloud following proof of concept work, dress rehearsals and the production cutover, with three successful rehearsals and a go live reported with zero incidents. Kyndryl supplemented CFS technical capability through targeted activities in networking, certificate management, Resource Access Control Facility governance and desktop configuration, delivered via Project Change Requests to prepare systems for cutover and a hyper care phase with minimal incidents.
Deployment architecture included Kyndryl’s managed data centre environment and Kyndryl Cloud eXchange as the managed network layer, enabling high performance connectivity and rapid provisioning. The KCX delivery provided scalable, secure network connectivity including links to AWS and Microsoft Azure, and the engagement used consumption based zCloud and KCX offerings to allow CFS to scale services up or down as needed.
Operational workstreams encompassed data sanitization and storage catalog cleanup, removing approximately 900,000 orphaned entries and identifying and eliminating unused software components during the copy and cutover. The program also initiated Kyndryl Bridge as an AI enabled operational platform for continuous improvement, and documented risk mitigation activities including handling a CrowdStrike outage during migration. Colonial First State zCloud Application Hosting and Computing Services now underpins Fund Management System operations, with governance changes, rehearsal driven cutover procedures and a framework for ongoing optimization.

RSA | Insurance | 5989 | $4.9B | United Kingdom | Zuri Technologies | zCloud | Application Hosting and Computing Services | 2022 | Ibm |
In 2022, RSA implemented zCloud as an Application Hosting and Computing Services solution to host IBM Z managed extended cloud infrastructure for core insurance operations supporting roughly 4.5 million policies. The deployment named zCloud was delivered with IBM as the platform provider and Kyndryl working with RSA on the implementation, while Zuri Technologies is recorded as the vendor.
Three mainframe environments were migrated into zCloud, which was configured as a multi-tenant, high-capacity, high-availability mainframe hosting environment spanning primary and backup data centers. The zCloud implementation consolidated mainframe operating system and enterprise software workloads and supported complex automated data processing workloads as a hosted mainframe service.
Operational coverage included extensive knowledge transfer and validation activities, with more than 120 classroom-based virtual sessions and targeted one to one sessions between Kyndryl and RSA teams. Business testing executed more than 5,500 test cases to validate functional readiness, and the project completed in six months, reflecting an accelerated rollout cadence compared with typical timelines for projects of this scale.
Governance emphasis focused on operational resiliency and regulatory compliance, the zCloud configuration was designed to help RSA meet evolving GDPR requirements and to centralize mainframe capacity and backup management. The implementation produced stated efficiency gains including 30 percent faster complex automated data processing, enabling RSA to operate with a more agile hosted mainframe foundation under the Application Hosting and Computing Services model.
