Slovakia Bank Privatbanka Chooses Proact

Proact IT AB has been chosen by Slovakia bank Privatbanka, a.s. to create a server and storage infrastructure to further increase the uptime of their data and application streams.

Privatbanka has also been operating in the Czech Republic since 2009 thanks to a subsidiary located in Prague. It provides clients with specialised financial and investment services which reflect their exact requirements and meet their expectations with regard to increasing the value of their assets.

After an initial analysis, the most appropriate solution was a combination of a virtualized server environment in combination with a robust storage solution which together with a transparent DR solution ensures high uptime. The infrastructure is now split between two separate locations eight kilometers apart which are interconnected by means of an optic fibre solution. Data are replicated between the two locations so as to ensure continued service in the event of one of the data centres being destroyed or damaged. The new solution has ensured increased uptime and also faster data and application backups, as well as making the whole environment easier to manage and reducing operating costs.
