  15. Resiliency principles “To minimise the impact of a technical failure on your business, you should be prepared for any disaster that might arise.” • Prioritise for High probability - High impact risks • Fast recovery. Availability. Reliability. • Remove Single Points Of Failure for hardware, software, network, site, procedures, people • SWIFTNet infrastructure at customer premises: VPN

  16. Best Practice resilient setupSmall FIN configuration – Single host Prime/Backup site Contingency site • Alliance Entry/Access • Alliance Gateway • Alliance Entry/Access • Alliance Gateway • Alliance Entry/Access • Alliance Gateway Messages flow connected to secondary Gateway with automatic* failover mechanism. *Except on Entry for InterAct/FileAct. DR host PRIMARY host BACKUP host or or Support for Alliance Access and Gateway Configuration Replication between systems VPN VPN VPN VPN -Bronze (ISP, ISP) -Silver (LL, ISP) -Bronze -Silver Database Recovery feature supporting recovery on the standby Access from replicated database 16

  18. Resiliency Best Practices • Failover procedures • HSM Resilience • PKI resilience • Certificate renewal • SO access to secondary SNL • Failover routes • Application data to restore

  21. Alliance Gateway license simplification • Starter Set license became Gateway license on 01/01/2011 • 3 production /test/contingency systems allowed instead of 1 • All Gateway license options can be added • Only a re-license on Gateway is required • Remote API Host Adapter RAHA offers remote access to applications that link to SWIFTNet Link • Automatic failover to backup Gateway • DMZ setup possible

  22. Legend: Primary route(s) Backup route Connectivity ResilienceWith RAHA – Single host Prime Contingency Back office application • FIN: Automatic failover of LT to backup Gateway. • No loss of in-flight messages. • Alliance Entry/Access • Alliance Gateway • Alliance Entry/Access • Alliance Gateway PRIMARY host DR host RAHA VPN VPN VPN VPN • SnFInterAct and FileAct: Automatic failover to backup Gateway. • On Access only

  23. Very easy to implement • No change in hardware, no software installation • Purchase RAHA license • Relicense Alliance Gateway • Online passwords • R7 easy Relicensing GUI • Configure Entry/Access with • Backup connection • Assign secondary connection to LT (Entry/Access), SnF Emission/Reception profile (Access only) • No need to install RA on R7! • Implement when migrated to R7

  27. What is Database Recovery? Soft ware REDO logs DB Recovery Recoverfromanydatabasefailure without message loss. Easy and fast. Backup Disk Mirror Disk Database Recovery option

  28. Database Recovery and synch disk replication Primary Contingency Soft ware Soft ware Synchronous Disk Replication REDO logs REDO logs DB DB Recovery only required if DB corrupt, full recovery Backup Disk Backup Disk Mirror Disk Mirror Disk Database Recovery option Database Recovery option

  29. Database Recovery and asynch disk replication Primary Contingency Soft ware Soft ware Asynchronous Disk Replication Production Site Loss REDO logs REDO logs DB DB Recovery always required, up to last valid transaction Backup Disk Backup Disk Mirror Disk Mirror Disk Database Recovery option Database Recovery option

  30. Database Recovery Benefits • Full content recovery up to the last committed state • Native feature • Based on Industry proven technology • Single command to recover • Complement to Mirroring or Cluster options • Supported and qualified by SWIFT • Further enhanced with release 7.0 to support asynchronous data replication Backup Disk Mirror Disk Database Recovery option
