NetApp has announced that SVC Bank has selected NetApp India as the preferred storage partner to build and manage the bank’s IT infrastructure.
The bank deployed NetApp V3220 Open Storage Controllers to enable continuous data availability and integrated storage support for its virtualization initiatives.
“It has been quite a journey so far, and NetApp has been supportive of our IT activities. We have received phenomenal support during our DR-DC shift and during our controller upgrade. It has been a pleasure working with NetApp, without their support, there might have been many sleepless nights,” said Ravikiran Mankikar, chief general manager, IT Head, SVC Bank.
With NetApp, SVC Bank has been able to protect critical data and create a reliable disaster recovery (DR) solution at reduced cost and complexity. One of the significant benefits NetApp provides is improved storage utilization due to deduplication and thin provisioning. Using NetApp deduplication, SVC Bank has successfully removed multiple copies of files so that the same data is not copied in multiple locations when it is copied to the DR site.
President, NetApp India & SAARC ,Anil Valluri said.“Data is more valuable when it is in the right place. Our solution allows SVC Bank to move data securely between cloud service providers and back to their own data centers as demands change,” “We, NetApp and Pentagon, are actively engaged in developing differentiated solutions for our customers in the BFSI sector. Storing data has always been a big challenge and especially so with the quantum of data being generated today. However, with NetApp, we have been able to deploy industry leading solutions that have helped address critical challenges that SVC Bank was faced with successfully.” said Nelson Fernandes, Head of Business Development at Pentagon System & Services Pvt. Ltd.
