Banking & Financial services

Problem / Solution Overview

The client, one of the oldest commercial banks in India, needed to upgrade its data center (DC) and disaster recovery (DR) locations with modern infrastructure. Their existing systems lacked resilience and were difficult to maintain due to outdated configurations and multiple vendors, resulting in delays and fragmented support.

SM Networks was chosen to deliver a comprehensive infrastructure solution, taking full ownership of design and implementation to ensure high availability, simplified support, and improved operational efficiency. By taking complete ownership of the deployment, we ensured the bank received a seamless rollout with a single point of accountability.

Key Deliverables

  • Deployment of 9 high-performance, redundant servers for critical applications
  • Installation of reliable SAN storage infrastructure for secure, scalable data management.
  • Provision of a tape library to strengthen data backup and archiving capabilities.

Client Impact

  • Streamlined Support: The bank now has a single point of contact for all IT
    support-related queries, reducing delays and complexity.
  • Faster Rollout: With SM Networks acting as the sole vendor, the project was
    implemented quickly and with complete accountability.
  • Improved Reliability: The new infrastructure has enhanced system
    availability, minimized downtime, and ensured robust data protection.

Technologies Used

  • Enterprise-grade servers configured with high-availability and failover capabilities.

  • SAN storage systems for secure and scalable data handling

  • Tape library infrastructure for backup and long-term data retention
