Assessment of Bank Asya’s Activities in 2009

IT Infrastructure Investments

Operations management solutions have been introduced in order to ensure the detailed and proactive “end-to-end” monitoring of the bank’s information technology (IT) infrastructure systems. These solutions make it possible to spot problems in infrastructure, network, software, and hardware systems ahead of time and to ensure that the IT environment is effectively controlled.

The Bank Asya Active Directory infrastructure was upgraded to the Windows Server 2008 platform, with is more advanced and more secure.

The bank’s virtualization infrastructure was doubled in size during 2009. In addition to its cost advantages, the virtualization platform which the bank has deployed allows hardware to be used more effectively, flexibly, and productively while also providing a high degree of accessibility to system infrastructure through faster and easier system management.

Data link capacities between headquarters and branches were increased, making it possible for branches to serve customers faster.

In the coming year we intend to change over to a faster infrastructure by upgrading the basic banking system data base system one level. Development and testing work for this project is now under way.

We have reached the final stage in a project to change over to a more advanced version of the bank’s call center infrastructure. The bank’s disaster recovery center systems will also be commissioned in the period ahead.
Work has begun on the bank’s Central Log Management system. This is also slated to become operational in the period ahead.
