Designing a Data Center for a Financial Entity

Given the critical nature of the back end of a financial entity, the data center designed must take certain factors into consideration:

• There can be no down time, as every second lost are several transactions forfeited.
• The budget is not a primary issue, but a degree of reason must be used to avoid proposing ridiculous options.
• Users' financial data is extremely sensitive; as such, security is of the utmost importance to ensure a viable solution.
• The number of incoming connections is immense, and the data center must be prepared for the load.
