Lakshmi Vilas Bank Strengthens IT Infrastructure

Datacraft, has been awarded an IT security infrastructure and datacentre upgrading project by Lakshmi Vilas bank.

Lakshmi Vilas Bank (LVB) has invested heavily in strengthening its IT infrastructure and service delivery over the past few years. With further expansion in the plan, LVB has called upon Datacraft to upgrade its IT security infrastructure and datacentre. LVB realised that its existing infrastructure needed a complete overhaul in order to cope with rising traffic and meet high service level guarantees for a rapidly expanding customer base.

“We have recently doubled our presence in other states and it was very critical to keep our IT infrastructure, expansion ready. RBI (or Reserve Bank of India) guidelines also call for end-to-end data security for all financial transactions and we wanted to ensure that the IT network backbone had the capacity to cope with increased demand. We were looking for a fault-tolerant, resilient, and highly available infrastructure which involved switching and routing, and security for all our branches. In addition, it needed to accommodate future technology advancements with increasing customer base calling for the need to upgrade the datacentre,” said VS. Reddy, Managing Director, LVB.

The contract required Datacraft to design and implement the datacentre upgrade as well as to provide ongoing support to ensure a high level of operational performance. As reliability and scalability are a challenge, MPLS-based network was deployed for all core connectivity, and using ISDN as a fallback.

“The Datacraft team adopted a consultative approach to identify the gaps in the existing network and security infrastructure, and provide a modular solution to fix the gaps by re-architecting the existing infrastructure. This has resulted in significant financial savings for the client,” said Sunil Manglore, CEO, Datacraft India.
