Abstract

This present work describes step by step the implementation of the project which consisted of the installation of UNIX servers and their applications in DelBank Bank. This project covered a wide range of factors that made it unique, not only as a complete change of platforms and applications, but also as the involvement of different providers who interacted with new and similar solutions on the market. The purchase made by DelBank Bank had as main objective to implement a high availability solution that protected and guaranteed the service of both, servers and software installed on them; afterwards, installing GPFS in order to permit to Oracle database accesses and manages a system of directories and files in parallel. With this new scheme of files, it was much easier the administration and management of Oracle database and its backup, in contrast to the raw data (raw) used previously. At the end of the project, servers were validated in order to verify that they would protect each other with recovery times shorter than those requested by the Client.
