Case Study: Bahrain Islamic Bank achieves rapid disaster recovery and continuous e-banking availability with Vision Solutions' Double-Take Availability

Bahrain Islamic Bank - Customer Case Study

Bahrain Islamic Bank (BISB), the Kingdom’s first Islamic commercial bank, operates 13 branches and extensive internet and e-banking channels to serve retail and corporate customers. To protect critical customer data and ensure round‑the‑clock availability of online services, BISB needed a cost‑effective business continuity and disaster recovery solution that would support both physical servers and virtualized infrastructure and work reliably over a low‑bandwidth WAN.

BISB implemented Vision Solutions’ Double‑Take Availability to replicate data in real time from 13 production servers to a Hyper‑V–based secondary site over an MPLS link, using virtualization to reduce DR hardware costs. The deployment cut recovery times, lets internet banking be restored in minutes to meet recovery time objectives, and delivered a scalable, cost‑effective DR platform that BISB plans to expand to more applications.
