Case Study: TheBANK of Edwardsville achieves faster recovery and reduced downtime with Vision Solutions' iTera HA

TheBANK of Edwardsville - Customer Case Study

TheBANK of Edwardsville, a $1B+ community bank serving 30 branches, 100+ ATMs and web banking across Illinois and Missouri, needed to guarantee 24/7 access to customer accounts. Their core Silverlake processing ran on an IBM System i, and existing hot-site arrangements left a gap between availability needs and recovery capabilities—management estimated it could take 16–24 hours to restore service after a disaster, risking significant transaction losses.

The bank implemented Vision Solutions’ iTera HA with remote journaling and added an IBM i model 520 backup system, supported by hands-on vendor training and onsite configuration. The result: dramatically improved RPOs and RTOs, elimination of costly hot-site services, simpler daytime backups, far less downtime for upgrades and maintenance, and a streamlined daily maintenance routine that provides reliable, fast recovery and peace of mind.
