Stockholm-based Swedbank is a leading Nordic-Baltic banking group with 8.8 million retail customers and 441,000 corporate customers in Sweden, Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia. The financial institution has relied on HP NonStop technology since the 1980s, primarily for processing critical point-of-sale (POS) transactions.
These days, the bank needs more capacity to handle its growing POS transaction volume and to lower planned downtime. To meet these requirements, Swedbank now authorizes and authenticates large volumes of banking transactions using ACI’s BASE24 application, which runs on two HP Integrity NonStop NS16008 servers. By using the GoldenGate Active/Active solution, both Integrity NonStop systems are leveraged and thereby facilitate continuous operations while at the same time lowering planned downtime.
The bank also employs an Integrity NonStop NS14002 server for test and development as well as HP ServerNet Cluster equipment and three HP Atalla A10150V network security processors. The solution enables 24x7 continuous availability of Swedbank’s mission-critical payment processing system, which supports more than one billion transactions per year, and allows the bank to maximize its IT investment.
