Major bank chooses SafeKit for 24*7 transfer gateways
Natixis (formerly Natexis Banques Populaires) is a major player in the banking world.
High availability is important to Natixis to ensure round-the-clock availability not only of its large banking databases, but also of the associated applications, and in particular the file transfer gateways.
Natixis opted for the SafeKit 100% software clustering solution for the file transfer gateways, while using hardware-based clustering for the banking databases.
Three criteria led Natixis to choose the SafeKit high-availability solution for the file transfer gateways:
- Ease of implementation and use
- The solution’s support for multiple platforms, allowing them to build both AIX and Linux clusters, on standard hardware, using the same tool
- SafeKit was certified by the publisher of the file transfer gateways
