NORCOSS, Ga. — Postilion, a division of S1 Corp. that provides software solutions for self-service banking and payments, has launched enhancements to its ATM-driving solution, which can now, according to Postilion, be deployed in an active/active environment, ensuring higher ATM network availability while maintaining financial-transaction integrity.
 
According to a news release, in an active/active Postilion environment, two production systems process transactions simultaneously across an ATM estate. Traffic from some ATMs is routed to one Postilion system, while other ATMs send transactions to the second Postilion system. The separateness allows financial institutions to intelligently spread transaction loads across two systems based on operational requirements.
 
The Postilion active/active approach has already proven to benefit multilane retailers. But FIs can benefit as well, the company says, by ultimately having a high-availability EFT solution for their ATM networks.
 
"Previously, Postilion ensured ATM-network availability with standard disaster recovery options. Enhanced with active/active capability, the Postilion ATM Driving solution now maximizes ATM uptime and minimizes back-office operational impact due to unplanned failures, thus providing improved operational efficiency, ROI, and a higher level of customer satisfaction," said Eben Esterhuyse, Postilion product manager.
 
An active/active Postilion ATM-driving system also can function as a disaster-recovery solution. During unplanned downtime due to failure at either site, whether the failure is a communications, network, server, or other data center disruption, both servers are capable of handling 100 percent of the transaction load, thus maintaining online-transaction-processing integrity. An active/active Postilion deployment also allows planned downtime, including scheduled server maintenance such as software and database upgrades, that can be performed at one site with no downtime at another site.
