ell EMC has announced that Kuwait
Finance House (KFH), a global
pioneer in Islamic Banking, has
selected Dell EMC’s Data Protection Solution
to create a highly scalable infrastructure to
support rapid data growth.
The project was managed by International
Turnkey Systems (ITS), a leading integrated
information technology provider for Islamic
financial solutions and a strategic Dell EMC
partner in the region.
KFH aims to leverage the unmatched
flexibility, agile performance, enterprise-
ready protection and recovery capabilities
offered by this solution to achieve an
increased level of data availability and

Serving customers across the GCC, Asia, and
Europe through over 480 branches, KFH is
driven by massive volumes of data, retained

on backup tapes. To keep pace with the
demands of the digital age, KFH optimises
the user-generated data to offer diversified
financial services and solutions.
To meet this end, IT forms the backbone
for KFH’s data-driven operations, ensuring
uninterrupted provision of services to its
customers across the globe.
With data expected to further grow at an
exponential rate, resilient cloud-enabled
protection storage with effective backup,
archive and disaster recovery features
is critical to power the ambitious vision
fostered by the leading financial institution.
To balance the needs between capacity,
capability and advanced protection, KFH
selected the Dell EMC solution to start
its journey toward tapeless solutions by
expanding the existing Dell EMC backup to
disk solution.
By deploying this solution at its major data
centres, KFH aims to migrate its traditional
data protection system and switch over
from a tapeless backup system, gradually
reducing its exposure to the risk of data loss.
This tapeless solution will provide simplicity,
cost optimisation and will address risks,
WITH THIS NEW
IMPLEMENTATION,
KFH WILL . . .
UNLOCK NEW
ENTERPRISE
CAPABILITIES.
