With an international network of 37 branches in 21 countries, and correspondent banking services with nearly 1,000 top banks in 145 countries, Banco do Brasil is a significant player in world banking. It wanted to reduce the cost of managing Europe-wide banking systems, and implement a disaster recovery solution. To ensure swift, reliable restoration of the consolidated systems, Banco do Brasil needed to upgrade its disaster recovery (DR) capabilities, and has now implemented another i820 in a remote site to mirror its main production systems. IBM Global Financing provided this server on a lease, offering maximum cost-effectiveness for Banco do Brasil.
