IT behind the scenes

As consultants and clients struggle to reconcile profitability, security and liquidity, the data centers of banks and insurance companies are eager to square the circle to meet the expectations of security, reliability, availability and cost. If e.g. a trading system of a bank or insurance fails to function, at first only a piece of control is lost. Seconds later, however, this could already result in damage for the customer and compensation could be considered. From now at the latest, the data center is in the limelight: emergency plan (and) or fault analysis, workaround, troubleshooting - everything must now be done very quickly and if possible, the question of guilt still needs to be clarified.
