SCENARIO
Create long-term customer-supplier relationships by designing ad-hoc solutions for business development. Allitude combines the experience and expertise of companies that have been committed for years to providing their customers with IT solutions that enable them to translate the choice of outsourcing into competitive advantage.
Customers outsource the management of their information system, or part of it, achieving an improvement in customer experience and relieving themselves of those activities with a low strategic level.
As an IT services company, in an industry as complex as banking, Allitude is always looking for new solutions and cutting-edge technologies that are able to support business development and guarantee its customers continuity of service, transparency and constant updates.

As an IT services company, in an industry as complex as banking, Allitude is always looking for new solutions and cutting-edge technologies that are able to support business development and guarantee its customers continuity of service, transparency and constant updates.
At the same time, it seeks to identify the best technology partners that are in line with its business philosophy.
The company thus reiterates the company’s mission even in its choice of partners: to create long-term relationships between customer and supplier by designing ad-hoc solutions for business development. For more than 10 years, Dedagroup, and particularly Deda Cloud, have been supporting Allitude in growing its competitiveness in the market by selecting and providing cutting-edge, market-leading technologies such as IBM.
This historic and enduring relationship testifies to the IBM partner’s expertise in providing hardware and software solutions in line with business needs, combined with the professionalism of the Deda Cloud staff and the quality of the services offered, capable of understanding clients’ needs, accompanying them in their choices and making them increasingly competitive in the market.
Proposal and solution
Complete provision of state-of-the-art storage and backup infrastructure.
Allitude’s core business was a key element in the choice of the solution deployed in the company; Core Banking’s mission critical applications, which require continuity of service, run today on the “IBM Power i” operating system and in the future, again using IBM technology, on the RedHat orchestration platform. The IBM Power platform has always assured customers of performance, reliability, availability and, thanks to virtualization with IBM Power VM, also maximum efficiency in terms of workload consolidation, thus minimizing costs. IBM DS8000F Storage systems ensure that they maximize service continuity even in the face of any planned or unplanned infrastructure or data center downtime.
Through IBM Metro/Global Mirror functionality, the DS8000F systems simultaneously align data in synchronous mode, for Business Continuity in the Trent Data Center, and asynchronous mode, with the Disaster Recovery Data Center located at geographic distance, while ensuring maximized performance for applications and exceptional Recovery Point Objective levels. At the same time, data protection is also critical for a company operating in a banking industry where data is the basis of every activity, which is why IBM has increased the availability of the infrastructure in charge of backup with an IBM TS4500 Tape Library with IBM 3592 Tape Drive, a technology that can maximize speeds in both data backup and data recovery.
In addition, the use of IBM Spectrum Control & IBM Spectrum Protect allows the customer on the one hand to optimize the time and costs associated with these activities, and on the other hand to consolidate and centralize the execution of backups for distributed environments. Thus, a complete supply of state-of-the-art Storage and backup infrastructure was chosen for the client, ensuring continuity and quality of service with data protection and reduced downtime/costs. Dedagroup has been key support in the selection and implementation of IBM technologies. The long-lasting relationship with Allitude has enabled us to fully understand the customer’s needs and accompany them to the solution that would make them more competitive in the market. Two were the winning elements:
- The presence of Deda Cloud as a historical supplier and guarantee of the proposed solutions;
- The quality and reliability of IBM technologies.
Our services require experience, professionalism and listening to business needs, and it is essential for us to find the same characteristics in our suppliers.
This has always been the case with Dedagroup and IBM, and the historic partnership that unites us is a testament to that.
