| 1 | Janata Sahakari Bank is a Pune-based cooperative bank with operations in western Maharashtra, Marathwada and the Konkan region. Established in 1949, Janata Sahakari Bank is ranked fifth among cooperative banks in India. The bank has many firsts to its name: a cooperative bank to have achieved the scheduled status, a cooperative bank to have become an authorized banker for the Pune stock exchange, a cooperative bank to be awarded with ISO 27001 certification, and a bank in India to have shared its datacenter with other banks. The bank took the technology leap in 2005 and based its core banking solution on Linux-IBM DB2 technology. It was the first time that DB2 technology was being used in the Indian banking sector. Janata Sahakari Bank had got fully computerized in 1999. The bank was using an offline server for data backup. It would mean pulling the database down for half an hour every time data was being updated. By end-2004, when the bank was introducing core banking, it started looking for a solution that would provide zero disruption of services. The management wanted to build a disaster recovery site. It was looking for a high availability solution for banking production database and real-time synchronous data replication from production database to the MIS system. The bank moved to Linux-based DB2 technology from IBM in mid-2005. In 2009, the management decided to migrate to the latest version – IBM DB2 Version 9.5. Analysis the case and give your opinion to the organisation. |
