About Client

The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) is the central bank of Ukraine, a special central government body, whose legal status, tasks, functions, powers and organisation principles are determined by the Constitution of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine “On the National Bank of Ukraine” and other Ukrainian laws. The bank is an issuing centre that conducts a unified state policy on currency circulation, crediting, and strengthening of the national currency of Ukraine—the hryvnia. It also regulates and oversees the activities of all Ukrainian commercial banks.

Tasks

The solution was based on IBM System Storage DS8100 high-end storage systems.

At the first stage, an on-site data storage network was arranged in one location. The solution included a data storage network created with two 16-port switches and an IBM DS8100 2 TB data storage with synchronous data mirroring.

At the second stage, the data storage network in both locations was upgraded and a new 8 Gbit/s data transmission technology deployed. The solution included IBM SAN768B (Brocade DCX) directories and the modernisation of IBM DS8100 systems through expanding storage capacity and adding I/O ports.
