That's some critical asset...

Subscribing to Cloud solutions should reduce the number of physical infrastructure...


You want to show yourself. Do you know the calibre of IT team at Zenith? Do you know their business continuity and disaster recovery strategies?

I don't really get it. I stand to be corrected. Is 21st century banking system not supposed to be 100% cloud based. What is Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS for nah

And Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS don't have data centers? Is that what they told you ?

Most of these people are at entry level when it comes core IT solutions.

But they surely are better designed for fault tolerance and disaster recovery.

Your incident response plan should include third party company to ensures instant continuity of business and zero down time . Sensitive financial institution like zenith Bank should know better. What happened to cloud infrastructure? That is why fintech are taking over soon.

PSBs like Opay and Kuda are taking on increasing market share but cannot take over DMBs in the real sense. Their licenses are different. Their capital bases are incomparable. Liquidity requirements. Products and services port folio are less robust compared to DMBs. But for the payment services market, they’re increasingly enjoying market adoption.

And the terrible bank could not have the decency to send an email or text to its customers.

Banks run away from subscribing to cloud solutions. They like to see their physical infrastructure live.

I wish them quick business recovery, I can imagine the pressure the Network Infrastructure team would be under to bring up their services.

It they had installed an FM 200 fire suppression system it would have mitigated such occurrence. Contact me for your fire systems installations
