Italian term or phrase: piattaforma di sportello
Forte del fatto che Tercas aveva appena terminato un progetto di consolidamento e virtualizzazione con VMware su BladeCenter IBM e a seguito della migrazione alla nuova piattaforma di sportello che opera su web sono venuti meno alcuni presupposti che hanno spinto Tercas a sostituire i server tradizionali con soluzioni più flessibili come i dispositivi NAS.

online banking platform
Explanation:
Tercas, provides online banking services. So, 'sportello in this sense:

sportello s.m. (banca) gli sportelli di una banca, the counters (o windows) of a bank
[source La Biblioteca di Republica's l'Enciclopedia Dizionario di Italian-Inglese]

But, this literal translation seems incredibly unnatural and rare.

online banking platform seems better than just 'counter platform' to reduce ambiguity and still communicates what is intended.

If you want - the more literal 'counter platform' gets very few reliable search results.
