To realise efficient data management,
continuous data availability, seamless
mobility and accelerate data centre
modernisation, Gulf Bank is leveraging
Dell Technologies VPLEX and
RecoverPoint solutions.
These solutions are purpose-built to
ensure operational agility and flexibility
to match IT infrastructure to the speed
of changing business needs. In addition,
VPLEX and RecoverPoint will help Gulf
Bank expand its operations across three
data centres in the future.
To comply with offshore data regulations
set by the Central Bank of Kuwait (CBK)
and manage operational overhead costs
for storing long term retention data on
tapes, Gulf Bank has opted to deploy Data
Domain and Deduplication Technology to
speed backups and reduce costs.
These solutions by Dell Technologies
are helping the bank save valuable floor
space, simplify operations, improve
disaster recovery, reduce backup and
recovery risks and importantly, enable a
tapeless environment.
An agreement drawn up between Gulf
Bank alongside Dell Technologies aims
to empower Gulf Bank’s business and
propel its transformation journey to offer
maximum value to customers.
Dr Waleed Al-Hasawi, General Manager of
Information Technology at Gulf Bank, said:
“To win today’s market and ensure business
sustainability, it is critical that financial
institutions change their direction and
elevate their pace of business innovation.
“Keeping this in mind, we at Gulf Bank
wanted to set our foundation for the new
digital era. To do this, our first step was to
choose a trusted partner who could not
only help us imagine our IT environment,
but also help us as an organisation to
ensure effective outcomes. And, we hope
our partnership with Dell Technologies
enables us to achieve this vision.”
