Overview
One of India's leading private banks (over 15 million customers and a network of 558 branches) needed to meet RBI guidelines for protecting its AWS workloads. CitiusCloud proposed, designed, and implemented a third-party backup solution for the bank's cloud estate.
The challenge
- Complex setup — 7,900+ EC2 instances and 36 RDS instances across OS types and flavors, running critical applications.
- RBI compliance — regulatory guidelines for protecting cloud workloads had to be met.
- Risk mitigation — protection against potential data loss.
The solution
A third-party backup platform protecting EC2 and RDS to regulatory requirements:
- Comprehensive backup — backup and archival across the full EC2 and RDS estate.
- Fast, reliable recovery — a tested plan for failure scenarios and restorations.
- Centralized management — monitoring and management across multiple AWS accounts from one console.
The results
- RBI regulatory compliance achieved for cloud workloads.
- Recovery readiness across thousands of instances.
- Centralized, auditable protection operations at bank scale.
