IXcellerate has created a backup site for "Zyfra Bank"

2024: Standard Rack Rentals

IXcellerate and Zyfra bank, one of the private investment banks, signed a cooperation agreement. As part of the contract, Zyfra bank rented standard racks at the MOS1 data center (North Campus) to accommodate server equipment, and also reserved space for development. IXcellerate announced this on April 18, 2024.

The strategic focus on the reliability of the IT infrastructure and the maximum availability of services for customers in the context of an unfavorable information security landscape required Zyfra bank to create another site for placing equipment.

The conclusion of the agreement was preceded by a thorough inspection of IXcellerate: specialists from the legal service, IT and information security departments, as well as the bank's security services studied all the regulations and emergency data center cards, features of software and physical data protection, the level of certification and operator obligations to customers. The key argument in favor of IXcellerate was the company's impeccable reputation and full compliance with the Tier III reliability level, as well as the availability of a valid PCI DSS certificate.

" racks is housed inside a machine room with five physical security loops, including a biometric access control system and anti-intrusion protection. The presence area is equipped with an access control and control system (ACS), equipped with early smoke detection sensors and sprinklers of the local fire extinguishing system. According to SLA, IXcellerate ensures service availability at 99.982% and maintains cooling and climate parameters in full compliance with the global ASHRAE standard. The racks are serviced by several carriers.

The name of our bank reflects the focus on technological development. For us, digitalization is not a tribute to fashion, but a way to provide customers with qualitatively new opportunities for life planning, doing business and wealth management. One of the factors that determines attention and interest in our products is fast and trouble-free access. Having decided to expand the capacity to another site, we were looking for a partner who, with full responsibility, is ready to take over this task. IXcellerate has established itself as a data center service provider that is always responsible for its promises and ensures uninterrupted operation for its customers. And now we're excited to be able to make sure of that, said Sergey Stepkin, director of IT infrastructure at Zyfra bank.

We know the role technology plays in today's world, how much its quality affects competitiveness, retention and customer engagement. Therefore, for most of our customers, we become not only a data center service provider, but also a full-fledged partner who takes on the tasks that determine the company's success in the market. For representatives of financial institutions, reliability and security parameters are critical factors. We understand this and appreciate the trust placed in us by Zyfra bank, noted Andrey Aksenov, CEO of IXcellerate.
