Critical Issue
With the expansion of 24/7 credit and debit card use, RBA needed to harden the systems involved in clearing these transactions. Existing recovery capabilities were limited in terms of the number of users and transactions they could accommodate. Furthermore, these transactions could not be cleared in real-time, which represented a liability for the bank.
Results
• Downtime caused by hardware or software failures is now measured in minutes and not hours
• Off line intervals resulting from planned maintenance is virtually eliminated
• Third party backup services are no longer needed
• No exposure to possible losses resulting from transactions that cannot be cleared in real-time
