Central bank: boi | Type: statement | Date: 2021-10-27

The data center was built to the Tier 4 standard,
and is in the final stages of receiving official certification from the Uptime institute,
following meticulous examinations of operational continuity. The facility is defined
as fault tolerant, which enables continuous work even if one or more of the
components fails, features autonomous work capability for a defined period
under the FEMA earthquake resilience standard, and has the ability to undergo
maintenance without affecting the IT system, based on green technologies that
save energy.
Mr. Lior Georgi, Director of the Information
Technology Department, said, “I would like to commend all those who worked on
the establishment of the Bank’s new data center. The data center is expected to
serve the Bank in the coming years, and will enable the Bank to be at the
technological forefront compared with other central banks. Thousands of work
hours were put into the planning and execution of the project, and hundreds of
creative solutions were implemented in order to ensure that the Bank of
Israel’s functional continuity is maintained and that the project is
implemented without affecting the Bank’s ongoing activity. The completion of
the project is a significant milestone in strengthening the central bank and
the Israeli economy.”​
