IDBI Bank has operationalized its Near DR Centre in Mumbai on September 5, 2014, thereby joining a select list of banks who have established three-way DR.
As per laid out norms, the Primary Data Centre (DC) and Disaster Recovery (DR) Centre have to be housed in different seismic zones, for obvious reasons. While this provides the required redundancy, accepted Recovery Point Objective (RPO)/ Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of about 30 minutes entail a data loss in case of a ‘failover’. This necessitates location of a Near DR Centre, with synchronous replication, which will enable zero data loss and instant ‘switchover’.
IDBI Bank is new generation public sector universal bank that rides on a cutting edge Core Banking Information Technology platform. This enables the Bank to offer personalized banking and financial solutions to its clients through its 1,217 branches and 2,101 ATMs.
