CASE STUDY
“ The automation saved us 80 % of the time to manage the entire process . This combined with the fact that we can increase the scope of our backups as well .”
The previous multiple backup solutions also made it difficult for the IT team to gain visibility into the status and consistency of backups . Thanks to Commvault , Dakurah and his team approach each day with a sense of confidence .
“ Commvault has given us a 360 view of our data protection readiness . Now I get a daily report in my mail with the insight about all the backups and recovery status without waiting for that to be reported to me . This is something that we couldn ’ t do before ,” he said .
In addition , using the powerful deduplication capability of Commvault , has enabled Republic Bank to achieve 85 % compression rates for their DB2 database , saving storage capacity and costs . The Commvault Command Centre has also empowered Republic Bank to effectively control user access to certain systems and avoid data breach by simply clicking a button to allot less-privileged access .
Ensuring data security and meeting industry compliance needs
Banking is a heavily regulated industry , so it is critical for Republic Bank to meet the strict regulations and compliance for data protection and data retention . For instance , the bank is required to retain data for up to seven years based on regulatory requirements
while keeping the information for mortgage finance for up to 25 years . With Commvault , we can confidently show our reports to the regulators that our backups are happening daily and timely . Regulators are very excited about this because they don ’ t have to inspect two or three systems but just one .”
Commvault partner Tenece Professional Services assisted Republic Bank Ghana with the PoC and project management . The Commvault team provided design documents and worked with the bank ’ s IT team to install the software .
“ Tenece Professional Services was instrumental in managing the project and the relationship between the bank and Commvault . The entire implementation was very smooth and we went live with the Commvault solution in just two weeks ,” Dakurah said . p
