Boosting Datacenter Availability for Largest Private Bank in India with the Help of Symantec
ICICI Bank Limited (ICICI Bank) is a trendsetter in the use of banking technology in India. Since 1999, ICICI Bank leverages comprehensive datacenter availability and data protection solutions from Symantec. Using Veritas Storage Foundation and Veritas Cluster Server, the bank is achieving 99.9 percent application availability and 99.99 percent uptime for its server infrastructure. The bank relies on Veritas NetBackup and a full range of agents and options for data protection. The solution is delivering tangible results, including a 50 percent reduction in the time to rebuild corrupted servers and 25 percent annual growth in data volume without any increase in staffing resources. Seeking greater adaptability, the bank recently turned to Symantec for an enterprise licensing agreement that lowered software infrastructure costs by as much as 20 percent.
