Company A is a large multinational bank that uses CA Directory as an authentication repository.

Their directory contains hundreds of millions of user entries and uses eight Solaris computers. Each computer has four data DSAs and several layers of router DSAs on it. Company A runs a 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week operation with strict SLAs relating to availability, and a small weekly maintenance window.

At Company A, the directory is managed by a Directory team. The IT infrastructure is handled by a different team.

The IT team automatically backs up the file system once a day at 4 a.m.
