As part of a modernization initiative, PKO is installing an integrated IT system and developing a bank technology platform that incorporates McData’s 10000 directors (i10Ks) and 4700 Fabric Switches.
McDATA and EMC impressed us with the i10K’s partitioning and security features, along with their rich experience in FICON, said Andrzej Krzesniak, director of computing centre at PKO BP. While we initially considered Brocade’s Silkworm 48000, after evaluating the McDATA solutions, we chose to replace our Brocade switches with an additional order for 10 FICON-enabled 4700 Fabric Switches.
