Case Study: Interbank Burundi achieves secure offsite backups and rapid disaster recovery with Oracle Database Backup Cloud Service

Interbank Burundi Minimizes Risk by Storing Backup Data Securely in the Cloud

Interbank Burundi s.a is a leading commercial bank in Burundi with about 20% market share, 40 branches, and a strong customer‑service focus in a market where only 2% of the population has a bank account. Facing frequent political and social unrest, the bank needed to move backup storage off‑premises and out of the country to protect customer data, enable rapid recovery after disasters (such as site failure or attack), and reduce staff exposure when handling sensitive backup media.

Interbank deployed Oracle Database Backup Cloud Service within three months to centralize, encrypt, compress, and three‑way mirror offsite backups, integrated with Oracle Database and Enterprise Manager for automated operations. The cloud solution eliminated upfront hardware costs, cut operational overhead, removed the need for staff to transport backup disks, and improved data availability—reducing report preparation from one week to 30 minutes—while boosting regulatory compliance, customer confidence, and overall data security.
