A leading Gulf-based commercial bank with operations across 30+ countries and three continents manages large-scale banking services supporting critical financial ecosystems. With decades of operational legacy and significant global footprint, ensuring uninterrupted service delivery is business-critical.
Operating on legacy infrastructure, the bank lacked a robust disaster recovery and backup strategy to support its cross-continental operations. Multi-country environments were not backed by a unified continuity framework, resulting in gaps in resilience, compliance visibility, and data protection. Latency between core systems and backup environments created operational inefficiencies and silos, impacting performance and agility, and additionally, the absence of continuous compliance mechanisms and audit-ready visibility posed risks in a highly regulated banking environment.
Cloud4C designed and implemented a cloud-led disaster recovery strategy. The engagement began with a comprehensive assessment of the bank’s existing IT landscape, after which Azure was chosen as the optimal DR platform. A secure landing zone was provisioned with 17+ integrated security controls and ultra-low latency connectivity was established between core infrastructure and DR environments. Cloud4C deployed enterprise-grade replication solutions to protect hundreds of critical applications, workloads, and databases operating across regions. To ensure continuous resilience, periodic DR drills were implemented alongside 24×7 managed operations.
