There has been a recent announcement from GT bank pleading customers should bare with them. It goes thus: Dear esteemed customers, we regret to inform you that our e-channels (ATMs, Internet banking and POS) are temporarily unavailable. This is due to a fire incident at our processing centre. The situation is however under control and we expect to restore access to these channels shortly. We regret every inconvenience and reassure you of our commitment towards serving you better. http://www.gidilinks.com/2011/12/fire-shuts-down-gt-bank-services-in.html |

Whoever is in charge of PR in GTBank is doing a very poor job and I hope this gaffe does not cost them in the Long Run. How can you tell the public that fire gutted your Main Processing Datacentre? Do they know what this can do to customer confidence? |
Re: Fire Incident Halts GTBank's ATM & E-Services by Nobody: 6:32pm On Dec 24, 2011 |
Loot the funds and burn the whole systems down , so they can't even trace anything. If you get account for Gtbank shine your eyes well. |

Nigerian company and bad business continuity and disaster recovery plan, this is not even supposed to be announced, just activate the alternative hot site immediately if there is a good BC/DRP and customers will not even aware. |
Re: Fire Incident Halts GTBank's ATM & E-Services by Afam4eva(m): 6:40pm On Dec 24, 2011 |
abhosts: You're probably right. Which company goes about telling the public that fire gutted their main processing daacenter. |

GTB Bank, I have rated you guys beyond not having a continuity procedure / back-up location to ensure operations continues even if it's at much less capacity than your customers are used to. Total shut down, whole operations grinding to a halt is not acceptable, moreso not at such a crucial period of the year. GTB Bank, step up your game o! |

@Yinkay Well said |

This is too much for an Xmas gift. I became a liar in the presence of my three & half yr old son for not been able to fulfill my promise to him today. I tried over 10 GTB ATM's today but all to no avail. I hope my son would take this excuse in good faith. |

I hope the fire was not ignited by fraud. |

It probably wasn't a fire that razed their whole processing center but developed within their data center environment and if the followed data center standards in the design of the center, the automated fire system would have activated flooding said location with gas(FM-200 or the newer inergen) and per protocol activate emergency power off which would also have been built in and PROPERLY integrated shutting down everything servers switches routers radios cooling systems everything.No problem if this is what happened you can go ahead ahead and fix the cause of the fire and(depending on the intencity of the fire whatever damage it caused) which could take 24hrs to a week given that this is Nigeria. You only really have a problem if you do not have a disaster recovery center(DRC) a sort of a shadow or mirror data center at another location am guessing GTB didn't have one or if they do "have one" the two centers werent properly synched /configured. That's my take as a data center design/operations engineer. |

EMANY 01: you have said it all. no proper back up plan |

Re: Fire Incident Halts GTBank's ATM & E-Services by EMANY01(m): 7:47pm On Dec 24, 2011 |
In the cause of my job, iv been in and around the core IT infrastructure of a lot of banks and i can say GTs packs a punch but giving that they were yet to follow the CBNs directive that all banks build or begin/complete (iv never been able to interprete it correctly) their DRC s by 2009 i/we knew that single point of failure was going to bite them sooner or later. If they had done that as they claimed the systems outage would not have been noticable. |
