Sanovi Technologies has announced the implementation of the Sanovi
DR Suite at ING Vysya Bank. The bank’s treasury department is
using Kondor from Reuters for its treasury related applications. To
meet with regulatory compliance prescriptions of Reserve Bank of
India towards enabling Disaster Recovery, ING Vysya Bank has
implemented the DR solution from Sanovi.
Commenting on the project implementation, CVG Prasad, CIO of ING
Vysya Bank said, “The treasury application is DR ready thanks
to the automation and dashboard provided by Sanovi’s
software”.
“Given the nature of treasury applications, it is a complex
implementation with multiple databases, multiple application
processes on multiple servers and multiple start stop scrip, using
off the shelf host or storage based replications”, said
Subramanian Parameshwaran, CEO, Sanovi Technologies.
Sanovi identified the areas of application which needed to be DR
ready like identifying and removing hard coded IP address
references and documentation of all the steps for fail over and DR
drill so that they could be automated. The DRM solution has
completely automated the switch over and switchback test and
ensures zero data loss when services transition takes place from
the primary to DR and then back to the primary.
Sandeep Kaul, Unit Head, IT Service Delivery, ING Vysya Bank, who
was involved in the implementation of the DR software, commented,
“We were able to deploy the DR solution for our treasury
application and do DR drills, all within a week.”
