You might be right. Anytime there is a reported fire in any bank, it is because a MAJOR theft of customers' money is in progress.

Zenith bank still using on-premise data center? What happened to using cloud solutions?
God bless You. A asked that question earlier. I can't believe the bulk of Zenith Bank's operation relies on premise data. When we have content cloud solution Providers.

Today is my child's birthday and zenith bank helped to frustrate my beautiful ideas for the baby. Their app couldn't open and I couldn't access the money that I hoped to use and make my baby feel special. Only God knows how many times I tried logging into that app today.
I wished zenith was not my main account.

More reasons why they should go Cloud.

A high-level plan may be in progress to loot ALL Zenith Bank customer's savings in that bank under the pretext of a fire. I will be very surprised if this matter is resolved within a week.

That's some critical asset...

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


Zenith are notorious for still running on Onprem infrastructure which is very very bad at this age and time where cloud is the way to go.

As this network is down like this, can I go to the bank and make an in-person withdrawal?
Re: Fire At Zenith Bank’s Data Centre Causes Network Downtime by Sltp: 7:47am On May 04, 2023
A big company like Zenith is not supposed to suffer such a downtime because one data center was breached. They should have database backups and their high availability properly set up with proper load balancing. There's always an effective way for a company like this to ensure high availability and prevent single point of failure

What is cloud? Cloud is also physical computers. If you have a good engineering term, you don't need cloud as you can follow the best practices of all the big cloud providers and prevent single point of failure. And which cloud providers have data centers close to Nigeria? 90% or more of Zenith services are to people in Nigeria, and it's a good practice to have close proximity to your servers

Your cloud solution is a physical infrastructure somewhere. The difference is you are only not responsible for it maintenance and management.

Don't mind all these people here. They obviously don't understand how these solutions and infrastructure work. Zenith is even big enough to be a cloud provider. And there's no engineering team that can't Bleep up so I won't blame them for this one time.
They must already have a high availability and load balancer set up that's why they could even recover from this physical disaster

The average person including IT guys at the software and coding level only make use of "cloud" they don't even understand it.

It must be a secondary data center or a mirror. No serious bank will keep their primary data centre in a hot country like 9ja
