3. Janata Sahakari Bank is a Pune‐based cooperative bank with operations in western 16 Ap CO1
Maharashtra, Marathwada and the Konkan region. Established in 1949, Janata
Sahakari Bank is ranked fifth among cooperative banks in India. The bank has many
firsts to its name: a cooperative bank to have achieved the scheduled status, a
cooperative bank to have become an authorized banker for the Pune stock exchange,
a cooperative bank to be awarded with ISO 27001 certification, and a bank in India
to have shared its data center with other banks. The bank took the technology leap in
2005 and based its core banking solution on Linux‐IBM DB2 technology. It was the
first time that DB2 technology was being used in the Indian banking sector.

Janata Sahakari Bank had got fully computerized in 1999. The bank was using an
offline server for data backup. It would mean pulling the database down for half an
hour every time data was being updated. By end‐2004, when the bank was
introducing core banking, it started looking for a solution that would provide zero
disruption of services. The management also wanted to build a disaster recovery
center. It was looking for a high availability solution for banking production database
and real‐time synchronous data replication from production database to the MIS
