The ability to provide business continuity in the case of a disaster is increasingly the standard by which financial services organizations are judged by their clients—especially in the Gulf South region. Hurricane season lasts from June through November, and residents know that no bank can absolutely guarantee that its data center will be spared.
Bank wire systems are complex and must be coordinated with the U.S. Federal Reserve. Until recently, providing full redundancy meant keeping racks of equipment at multiple data centers and paying for standby communication lines to the Fed. As a result, smaller banks’ business continuity plans usually consisted of vaulting tapes offsite and hoping they never had to recover.
