Bank Deposits Faith In Scalar Solution

韩国银行投资标量磁带库以保护财务数据

When Busan Bank moved to a next-generation UNIX system for primary storage in 2012, the technology team knew it was time to find the best backup solution for archive, disaster recovery, and data retention. Busan turned to Quantum’s Scalar i6000 enterprise tape library.结果：每日备份时间切成两半，备份性能提高了130％。

关键挑战：可靠保留

自1967年以来，釜山银行一直在韩国为客户服务于客户。在过去的四十年中，该银行在多种方面扩大了：更多客户，更多的服务和更多领域。今天，它提供全方位的公司和零售银行服务，通过韩国的近250个分支机构，中国海外分公司及其在线在线。

2012年，釜山银行认识到，其1997年的老化大型机建于它 - 不再适用于其需求，限制了对客户提供的服务。该银行为其主要存储需求实施了下一代UNIX系统，但银行的系统运营团队更加了解数据保护和存储。

“系统可靠性，可恢复性，可扩展性和技术支持是我们的首要任务，因为我们开始寻找更好的备份解决方案，”釜山银行系统运营团队的副主任Sang-Mu Shim说。“解决方案需要满足客户对金融服务的需求，积极应对金融市场波动，并解决监管变革。”

系统操作团队对磁带备份系统特别感兴趣，以实现其长期存储能力和稳定运行。

After examining a number of options, Busan Bank’s Systems Operation team decided on the Quantum Scalar i6000 automated tape library. Scalable up to 12,006 slots, the library offered the bank a solution that could keep pace with its growth.

In addition, the Extended Data Life Management (EDLM) capability built into the Scalar i6000 automatically checks tape media cartridges for data integrity issues, which helps prevent data errors before they happen. The Systems Operation team also appreciated the library’s iLayer™ software, which automates administrative tasks, including monitoring and reporting media, drive,
and security status.

Benefits: 130% Improvement

Today, Busan Bank is meeting the challenge of data protection with its Scalar i6000 tape library. Backing up 40TB/day and 300TB/week, the Scalar i6000 has improved backup performance by up to 130 percent, meaning that the backup window has been reduced by more than half.

In addition, the system draws much less electricity than previously used for backup and, with its storage capacity, allows retention of more data without taking up more space in the data center.

“Quantum Scalar i6000 provides high performance, reliability, scalability, and ease of management,” says Sang-mu Shim. “Most of all, by building a state-of-the-art backup system, we finally have completed a flexible and reliable IT infrastructure that allows us to provide financial services continuously, even in the case of a disaster or emergency. We are very satisfied with the Scalar i6000!”
