The Forbis Company has transferred the internal resources to cloud technologies
With the development of the sphere of information technologies the reliability and security of cloud computing, serving as the environment for ensuring of the banking business, is steadily growing. On the one hand, each year higher throughput of communication channels may be noticed and on the other hand, the amplification of powers, creation of multi-core processors and increase of capacity of the information storage contribute to the availability of cloud solutions. Simultaneously, there are developed means of data confidentiality protection with regard to the legal restrictions applied in different countries as well as methods of maximum ensuring of information security.
Among the main advantages of cloud computing the following may be distinguished:
- software availability at any time in case of the internet connection,
- non-restrictedness of computing resources due to the use of the virtualization systems,
- reliability ensured by the powers and procedures applied in professional cloud computing centres.
Another not less important aspect of spreading of the cloud technologies is an increase of the output at the tangible reduction of the operational hardware costs.
From 2014 the Forbis Company has started using a hybrid cloud, joining together the infrastructure of the public and private clouds. The interest of the banks operating the FORPOST system to cloud computing and application of these technologies in practice, has also significantly grown, in particular, one of the partners is going to make use of the cloud service and is actively cooperating with the specialists of the Forbis Company in terms of choosing optimal configuration.
As Alexandr Serebriakov, the Head of the Forbis Company’s System Administration Department has noted: “Operation of the hybrid clouding solutions, both in the cloud as well as in the co-location variant, in the company is successful and smooth, and the management of the infrastructure has now become much easier owing to the introduction of the AGILE principle, being for us the developers extremely important. We recommend our banks clients to apply only the proven technologies, in order to protect their investments and save the resources.”
