Fast & reliable System Recovery for multiple systems with minimal manual intervention.
Complete infrastructure recovery with demonstrable proof to meet regulatory compliance.
New regulatory policies issued by the PRA & FCA require UK financial institutions to guarantee the timely recovery of important business services within the impact tolerance guidelines of directives covering Operational Resilience. Financial organizations must implement systems and processes to meet these new directives during the transition period ahead of regulations coming into full force in March 2025.
System Recovery is a core component of Operational Resilience and the organization found that current recovery methods based on traditional backup & recovery tools were unable to deliver acceptable recovery times and lacked the scalability to provide automated recovery for multiple systems supporting important business services which could number into the thousands. To meet both internal and regulatory objectives there was an urgent need to improve recovery times with a solution that could integrate with existing backup software, work seamlessly with Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) tools, and eliminate the need for manual entry of system credentials.
Using Cristie Recovery (RBMR) software in conjunction with the existing Rubrik backup environment the protection of entire backup server estates could be unified into a single recovery workflow. Leveraging the Cristie Virtual Appliance recovery jobs were created to fully automate the recovery of physical systems based on business unit and application groups. This included integration with hardware management layers to facilitate the boot initiation process in line with the existing policies and procedures.
Business unit application groups scaled from tens of systems to thousands of systems in a single group that could be recovered simultaneously allowing entire data centers to be recovered in a few hours. Due to the requirements of 30 day passwords changes, Cristie provided additional enhancements to integrate with the key management systems avoiding the need to amend the automated recovery workflow every 30 days. Cristie Recovery software also integrated with existing boot management processes (IPMI) to further facilitate recovery automation and server provisioning.
As a major universal bank providing services such as retail banking operations, consumer credit card business, wealth management, and corporate banking for small, medium and large-sized businesses, the organization holds Systemically Important Financial Institution (SIFI) classification. For any financial organization designated with SIFI classification, the implementation of systems to support the latest UK financial sector regulations regarding Operational Resilience which require applicable firms to be able to restore important business services following any ‘severe but plausible’ outage scenarios is a top priority. Important business services are defined as those which, if disrupted, would impact the PRA & FCA objectives and thereby the public interest. A significant outage of an important service to any SIFI could also have an impact on the UK economy.
The bank was unable to guarantee the timely recovery of important business services within the impact tolerance guidelines of the new Operational Resilience directives using existing system recovery methods. In addition, traditional recovery processes were unable to scale to meet the demands of PRA & FCA Operational Resilience directives. System recovery at scale also presented network and user credential input demands that were in urgent need of automation.
