Case Study: Arab National Bank (ANB) achieves near-zero downtime and real-time disaster recovery with Vision Solutions' Double-Take Availability

Arab National Bank (ANB) - Customer Case Study

Arab National Bank (ANB), a major Riyadh-based bank with 190 branches, 1,000 ATMs and extensive retail and corporate services, required uninterrupted access to systems and data. Even short downtime or loss of same‑day transactions was unacceptable, and routine activities like hardware upgrades also risked service interruptions—so ANB needed a high-availability and disaster-recovery solution that delivered real‑time protection and supported seamless migrations.

Since 2007 ANB has used Double-Take Availability to replicate about 40 production servers (Oracle, SQL Server and file servers) to a DR site 40 km away, keeping systems continuously synchronized and allowing background migrations to new hardware. The deployment provides full, real‑time DR redundancy, easy failover (15–30 minutes in tested hardware-failure events), minimal administration and reduced migration downtime, with capacity to grow using 50 licenses.
