Ferreira said. “Mobile banking is more popular
than ever and growing fast, making data
backup and recovery even more important.”
The Veeam solution
BankservAfrica deployed Veeam® Backup
& Replication™ in its new, modern data
centres. Veeam helps BankservAfrica process
payments continuously as Veeam delivers

our data and guaranteeing availability
24.7.365.” In addition, Veeam helps
BankservAfrica meet SLAs with customers
and saves 50% in backup costs. Meeting
SLAs has been simplified and accelerated
substantially with Veeam because backup
is 60% faster and recovery is 98% faster.
BankservAfrica can test the recoverability
of backups using a Veeam feature called
SureBackup®.
Veeam was 50% less expensive than
competing solutions. It furthermore provides
BankservAfrica scalability and is designed to
back up thousands of virtual machines and
petabytes of data.
“Veeam delivers a level of value that
competing solutions were unable to meet;
both monetarily and peace of mind,”
Ferreira commented.
“In December 2016, we processed 128
million transactions – unprecedented in
our history,” Ferreira said. “That number
will become the norm eventually. We have
complete confidence Veeam will continue to
deliver 24.7.365 availability of data.”
