IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - February 5, 2008) - Vision Solutions, the leading high availability
(HA) solution provider in the IBM System i and System p markets, today
announced United Overseas Bank Malaysia Berhad (UOB Malaysia) implemented
ORION HA for i5/OS to deliver business continuity and IT
resiliency throughout their advanced global network.
UOB-Malaysia is a subsidiary of Singapore's United Overseas Bank -- one of
the largest foreign financial institutions in Asia with a network of 500
offices in 18 countries. UOB provides commercial lending, investment
banking, treasury services, trade services, home loans, credit cards,
wealth management, and insurance to thousands of clients.

the demands of today's wired world wherein customers expect information
instantly. In order to maintain flexibility and meet customers'
requirements, UOB selected the most effective, secure and scalable high
availability solution within today's marketplace.
"One of the reasons we chose ORION is because of the strength of vendor
support. Banks cannot afford downtime, especially in case of a crisis,"
says Ms. Lee Yee Lih, vice president of UOB-Malaysia's IT Division. "Having
systems that offer high availability is crucial because we must respond
quickly to ensure business continuity for our wide range of consumer and
commercial clients."
The bank evaluated and tested various solutions beforehand. In the end, UOB
selected Vision Solutions' ORION because it virtually eliminates
downtime while ensuring data recovery and activation is error free. With
the ability to scale across multiple environments, ORION™ HA ensures
continuous, efficient and speedy services for the bank's entire commercial
and consumer clientele.
"Not only did ORION meet our requirements, implementation was smooth," adds
Ms. Lih. "The powerful software is easy to configure and allowed us to
complete the mirroring process for our mission critical applications
without any difficulty."
