Corporate corner: virtual infrastructure UBL, Microsoft join hands
The transition will result in a number of operational savings and technological benefits for UBL
KARACHI:
United Bank Limited (UBL) has recently joined hands with Microsoft in order to complete a highly successful transition to a fully virtualised server scenario. Utilising Microsoft’s Hyper-V system for the project, the primary conversion will be fully implemented by December 2015 with hot sites being completed by April 2016. The transition will result in a number of operational savings and technological benefits for UBL. “The bank is essentially paying no more for the Hyper-V and Monitoring and Management facilities than what was coming out of our existing license,” said UBL Information Technology Head Yousuf Nasir.
