Strategic Partnership delivers sophisticated high availability and disaster recovery solutions to banks in Malaysia.
AS Networks has recently partnered with Maxava in order to enhance their high availability and disaster recovery services portfolio across South East Asia. AS Networks is the leading player in Malaysia for traditional, on-premise disaster recovery services and specializes in offering a comprehensive suite of high availability and disaster recovery solutions for the IBM i platform.
Andrew Lim, CEO of AS Networks chose Maxava after reviewing several IBM i HA/DR solutions. Presenting to a group of banking customers at a recent launch event that was held at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Andrew says “Maxava is easy to install, it is fast, can be controlled by a mobile app and once live, it becomes the critical basis of a business’s recovery. Our aim is to help our customers exercise a greater control over their data retention policies, whilst supporting them to overcome complex replication and backup management challenges.”
“In case of a major data loss and/or downtime incident, our customers will get their data back faster, more securely and with greater control and visibility, using the most innovative technologies available in the market. Since 2014, we have been expanding our areas of expertise to stay ahead of the rapidly changing data management trends and expectation, and today we strive to be one of the leading business continuity services providers in Malaysia,” continues Lim.
AS Networks has already implemented Maxava at Maybank, the largest bank in Malaysia and also at CIMB, the world’s largest Islamic bank. The pipeline is continuing to expand with an additional four banks ready to swap to Maxava in the region. IBM i customers who previously relied on magnetic tape media or older solutions for their disaster recovery strategies have responded enthusiastically to the offering which delivers lightning-fast, real-time replication that allows for rapid operational resumption, with no data loss occurring in the event of a disaster.
Simon O’Sullivan, Senior VP at Maxava, who is responsible for the Asia Pacific region explains, “Our partnership with AS Networks has created numerous joint opportunities in Malaysia and we are very excited about the potential for growth – not just in banking but in all other industries.
