“We’re highly available within a single data center”
- CIO of a bank that I was working with
For storage in particular this gets dicey. Is there an off site backup? What data loss is acceptable for that recovery? What availability requirements do you have?
Tales of faulty drives destroying companies are everywhere.
- dylan604 3y agoAfter the '96 OKC bombing, banks came to a whole new appreciation of redundancy. I was only a few years out of high school working freelance gigs, but one of them was following the progress of a specific bank implementing primary/secondary/tertiary sites and how long the secondary becomes the primary and the tertiary is promoted to secondary. Obviously, this was pre-cloud, so it was even more of a herculean task. It was also the first time I saw a large tape library with robot changer, so it sticks out in the memory banks.
