Perhaps no other industry suffers the impact of network, application, and system downtime — even for brief periods of time — as drastically as the financial services industry.

Trades cannot be executed. Customer accounts are rendered inaccessible. Visibility of the market is lost. A global financial services firm could lose millions of dollars from minutes of downtime, not to mention the resulting damage to the organization’s reputation.

For commercial banks, investment banks, insurance companies, and securities firms, the IT infrastructure is the lifeblood of the business. You require consistent flow and uninterrupted availability of information and applications.
