In the financial industry, data security and reliability form the foundation of every bank’s operations. Facing an ever-growing volume of NAS storage data, a joint-stock commercial bank needed a high-efficiency, secure, and regulatory-compliant backup solution. This article explores how the bank successfully optimized its NAS storage backup process with Info2soft’s i2NAS solution.
Challenges
The bank encountered several major challenges in its existing NAS backup strategy:
Massive Data Volume: With over 400TB of data, backup operations faced extreme performance pressure.
Small File Backup Inefficiency: The presence of numerous small files made backup processes slow and resource-intensive.
Limited Bandwidth Resources: High bandwidth consumption during backups risked disrupting other core business operations.
Real-Time Synchronization Requirements: The bank needed near real-time synchronization for incremental files to ensure data availability.
Realizing that traditional backup methods could no longer meet these demands, the bank sought an innovative solution that could ensure data security, operational efficiency, and compliance with financial regulations.
Solution: Information2 i2NAS Backup Solution
Information2’s i2NAS provided a comprehensive backup architecture designed specifically for large-scale NAS environments.
It enables data replication from NAS storage to target systems while decoupling the data from the physical NAS devices, achieving seamless data replication across heterogeneous NAS platforms.
Key features of the solution include:
High-Performance Data Replication: Efficiently handles large-scale, unstructured data replication tasks.
Secure Data Transmission: Advanced data transfer algorithms ensure security and integrity during the backup process.
Cross-Platform Compatibility: Supports heterogeneous NAS environments without requiring major changes to the existing network.
Intelligent Bandwidth Management: Optimizes bandwidth usage to minimize the impact of backups on other business systems.
Near Real-Time Backup: Supports incremental file replication in near real time, ensuring up-to-date data availability.
Customer Benefits
Through the deployment of the i2NAS solution, the bank achieved measurable improvements in backup performance and operational stability:
Significant Backup Efficiency Gains: Successfully completed large-scale backup tasks within required timeframes.
Optimized Bandwidth Utilization: Controlled bandwidth consumption during backup operations without affecting other critical systems.
Real-Time Data Synchronization: Enabled near real-time replication of incremental files, shortening recovery time objectives (RTO).
High Data Availability: Ensured that backup data was immediately accessible, enhancing business continuity and operational resilience.
Conclusion
In the financial sector, adopting innovative technologies is key to addressing the increasingly complex challenges of data backup and protection. The successful application of Information2’s i2NAS solution not only enhanced data security and backup efficiency for this joint-stock bank but also provided valuable insights and best practices for the broader financial industry.
By leveraging i2NAS, banks and enterprises alike can ensure that their growing data assets remain protected, synchronized, and available—supporting business continuity and digital transformation with confidence.
