Case Study: FatPipe Unit Failover
A Regional Bank Integrates FatPipe WARP into its WAN to Ensure Reliability and Redundancy of its Online Customer Services
This bank ranks as one of the largest independent bank in Texas and is a significant contributor to business and industry development in major parts on the U.S./Mexico border and South Texas. The Bank provides superior financial services to its worldwide clientele with an array of custom-made financial products and solutions.
One of its premium services is its online banking services. The bank cannot afford to have disruptions to online services. While outsourcing its IT system, the bank experienced Internet downtime. Frustrated by the instability of the outsource management group's network, which caused delays in the bank's services and lowered productivity its levels, the bank decided to bring its web servers in-house and integrate FatPipe WARP into its network as a solution.
The bank uses FatPipe WARP to achieve the highest level of fault tolerance of its mission critical Internet-based applications and services, which are used by the bank's staff and customers. FatPipe WARP combines a T1, a 3 Mbps connection, and a DSL through the FatPipe to provide Internet reliability and redundancy.
The ability to aggregate the different lines from separate providers to obtain the Internet redundancy it needed was an
important element to the institution. "We were looking at making sure we could have continuous (Internet) uptime regardless of what pipes we were using," stated the Sr.Network Security Administrator of this prestigious bank.
Once the bank brought the servers in house, it faced new challenges, including multiple power outages and at one time a sewer pipe explosion. The Network Security Administrator and his team prepared for the power outages by setting up a power generator, yet some lines still failed. Having the FatPipe in place allowed for the bank's WAN to remain up and running by
automatically rerouting IP traffic to available lines. When the sewer pipe burst, it knocked off the bank's T1 for
days, yet online services were still running and accessible to all users, using FatPipe to provide the automatic failure.
"From a user perspective, it was all transparent," said the Administrator.
The bank's mission-critical Internet-based applications -- including online banking, email, and other applications -- are
solely dependent on WARP to provide redundancy, reliability, and speed. "I would have a lot of upset customers if our online services were cut off from them. FatPipe's SmartDNS functionality is a key component to our business continuity," he said.
BENEFITS
The bank integrated FatPipe WARP into its network to achieve WAN redundancy, reliability
and speed. WARP dynamically balances load over the disparate connections when all lines are up. WARP also has automatic
failover capabilities, which will reroute traffic from failed lines to available lines when necessary. It setup a second
WARP in a unit failover configuration to create the best redundancy solution on all levels. The bank now has
uninterrupted connectivity, the key to business continuity and customer satisfaction.
