In the financial industry, data security and reliability are the cornerstones of banking operations. A joint-stock bank was confronted with ever-growing NAS data volumes, creating an urgent need for an efficient, secure, and regulatory-compliant backup solution.
This article delves into how the bank successfully optimized its NAS storage backup process by adopting Information2’s i2NAS NAS backup solution.
Challenges Faced by the Joint-Stock Bank
The bank grappled with four core pain points that traditional backup methods could not resolve:
-
Massive Data Volume: 400TB of NAS data placed heavy burdens on backup operations and timelines.
-
Small File Backup Dilemma: A large number of small files led to inefficient backup processes and prolonged task durations.
-
Bandwidth Resource Constraints: High bandwidth consumption during backups risked disrupting normal business service operations.
-
Real-time Data Synchronization Needs: Incremental files required real-time synchronization to ensure backup data was immediately available for recovery.
Recognizing traditional backup solutions could no longer meet its growing demands, the bank sought an innovative approach to ensure data security, reliability, and full compliance with financial regulatory requirements.
Information2 i2NAS Data Backup Solution
Information2’s i2NAS offers specialized data replication services from source NAS storage to target endpoints. It decouples data from NAS devices and enables cross-heterogeneous NAS device replication, delivering a tailored backup solution for the bank.
