SOLUTIONS FOR THE
Banking Industry

For financial institutions, today's challenge is to give customers "on demand" access to their financial resources, from anywhere and at any time. Regulatory changes and technology make it possible but, as with any new business direction, it also brings intense new competition and fresh questions. In particular, the question of business continuity...the need to plan for loss of the use of valuable computer assets is vital.

Disasters have often been seen in very restricted views but now, the need to be able to cope with a range of scenarios is understood. Many smaller companies have made reciprocal agreements with other similar companies in the same market segments who have similar equipment and so lowered the substantial costs involved in disaster recovery planning.

Disasters can come in various forms, floods, fire, storm, terrorism, loss of access, loss of power, theft...

Examples of Avax's solutions are set out below.
