Protecting Customer Information and Improving Data Consistency

Overview

A major national bank faced critical data accessibility challenges. Its existing IT architecture was not originally designed to handle the volume of data it was being tasked with storing, serving, and protecting. As a result, bank employees faced longer-than-usual data access times, and even then could not always verify that the information was up to date. This led to longer customer service calls, longer lines in branch offices, and customer frustration with the bank's Web site. After auditing the IT environment, Brocade recommended that the bank deploy a series of Brocade Virtual Tape Library (VTL) solutions in its six data centers.
