EMC, an information infrastructure solutions company, announced on Tuesday that it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with MCB Bank Limited to provide technology solutions to the bank.
The MoU will allow EMC to make technology proposals that will help the bank make necessary changes in its technology infrastructure in order to support ongoing data growth.
One aim of the IT infrastructure is to increase data availability with an integrated EMC solution that includes a three-site EMCÆ SymmetrixÆ VMAXÆ storage array with EMC’s SRDFÆ/Star (Symmetrix Remote Data Facility) business continuance software. EMC Symmetrix VMAX systems will be deployed at MCB’s primary site to run a number of mission-critical applications.
These core banking systems will also be replicated to VMAX arrays at two other sites using SRDF/Star. The closest site is designed to provide rapid recovery after a disaster. Data will also be replicated to a third site to protect against local geographical disaster. This solution was selected by the bank for its anticipated zero data loss over distance, high levels of data availability, high performance, accuracy and reliability, while enhancing the IT infrastructure efficiency level, reducing costs and enabling operational flexibility.
Sajid Awan, Chief Information Officer of MCB, said MCB was investing in modern technologies and fault tolerant architectures for improved service quality and sustained business growth.
Mohammed Amin, Vice President and Regional Director of EMC, Turkey, Emerging Africa and Middle East, said their technology would further improve and support information infrastructure of the bank
