The Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC Bank), one of India’s banking and mortgage institutions, is using Storage Area Network (SAN) solutions from Brocade Communications Systems to fulfil its mission of becoming a global bank. Utilising 4 Gbit/sec Brocade director-class solutions as the foundation of its SAN, the Mumbai-based bank today is storing and retrieving three terabytes of mission-critical financial data each day 30 percent faster than with its previous storage infrastructure.
The new Brocade SAN infrastructure further helps HDFC Bank to comply in full with India’s banking mandates demanding the archiving of key financial data for seven years, even as the institution adds two new branch locations weekly to its 680 offices in 228 cities across India. By streamlining its storage operations in this manner, HDFC Bank’s Brocade infrastructure improves productivity and reduces operating costs such that the institution projects a return on investment in only one year.
“With tight regulatory mandates over financial data worldwide, we needed a reliable, storage infrastructure that only Brocade could deliver if we are to succeed at home and abroad,” said Harish Shetty, Vice President for HDFC Bank. “Brocade redesigned our infrastructure according to our business needs and objectives, giving us the storage throughput, scalability, and control we required to become a world-class financial institution.”
