Seylan Bank last week recently unveiled its modern data centre located at Seylan Towers, No. 90, Galle Road, Colombo 03.
The consolidated data centre was designed by TIA-942 Certified Data Centre Design Consultant and Auditor, Tharindu Meepegama and built by V S Information Systems in collaboration with leading IT infrastructure providers such as Panduit, Vertiv, and Starline. The new data centre hosts the core application servers, storage, network and security, and connectivity infrastructure for the bank. This will help Seylan lower its operational cost, improve security and above all ensure high availability of applications for its customers, the bank said in a media release.
“There was a need to centralize our data centre infrastructure operations for effective management, high availability, safety and cost reduction,” said Harsha Wanigatunga, Chief Information Officer, Seylan Bank. “Our move to invest in a state-of-the-art data centre, is a continuation of another first by Seylan bank in Sri Lanka, as we will now move towards serving our customers better by ensuring high accessibility to our advanced digital infrastructure to provide even more customized and innovative solutions.”
The IT Team from the bank, along with the specialist consultant, carried out a comprehensive assessment and evaluation of solutions available in the market. After an intense evaluation, Seylan selected the solution offered by V S Information Systems featuring Panduit Data Centre infrastructure for its data centre.
The new Rated (tier) 3 aligned data centre, the first one in Sri Lanka of this nature, will improve operating efficiency and provide better physical security, power, cooling, network connectivity, and overall management. It will also enable a greater assurance of systems availability and service level assurance. Moreover, the data centre meets statutory audit and regulatory compliance requirements and provides scalability for future enhancements, the release said.
“Our continuous strategic focus on technology advancement and digitisation is enabling us to overcome the many challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The foundation of our data centre is based on making digital banking for our customers seamless, by offering reliable, secure and energy-efficient solutions, combined with best-in-class customer support,” Mr. Wanigatunga said.
