| KFH Gone Live with Alaric's 'Authentic' Payments Platform Alaric International announces that Kuwait Finance House (KFH), one of the world's leading Islamic financial institutions, has gone live with a deployment of Alaric's 'Authentic' payments platform. The project was implemented with the local support of 3SC Technologies, Alaric International's regional partner in the Middle East. In a key technology refresh, Kuwait Finance House selected Authentic as a replacement integration layer to manage the bank's entire channel banking payments traffic between its legacy switching system and the back office. The project marks the first step in KFH's wider initiative to streamline their payments infrastructure. The Authentic platform has been deployed in a virtualised environment with multiple replicated blade servers operating in a fail-safe 'active-active' configuration. "The introduction of Authentic has brought us safety and stability where we most needed it without incurring a significant platform cost", explains Dr. Waleed Al-Hasawi, KFH's Assistant General Manager of IT. He continues: "Peak performance constraints are no longer a cause for concern. The inherent scalability of the solution and the resilience of the deployment was proven to us during the course of this project." write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Computing News :: home page |
