How GetCard used Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 and SR650 servers, powered by Intel^® Xeon^® Scalable processors, and Lenovo ThinkSystem DE6000H storage to scale its data center, improve performance, and increase availability to provide even better customer service.

Founded in 2010, GetCard provides payment gateway services, acting as an intermediary between businesses that take card payments from their customers and the financial institutions that receive these payments.

To meet rapidly growing demand for secure, efficient, and intelligent payment services, GetCard decided to build its own data center at its headquarters in Maringá in the southern Brazilian state of Paraná. When the data center achieved PCI-DSS certification, GetCard was able to become the first payment gateway in Brazil to integrate directly with Banco Itaú, one of the country's largest banks.

Next, GetCard created two subsidiaries: GetTI Services, which manages the group's technology platforms and markets cloud, infrastructure, security, and software services to other businesses; and SonicHost, which offers web hosting services. Today, GetTI's infrastructure not only processes 12 billion GetCard payment transactions per day, but also supports the core systems of 8,000 other businesses and around 5,000 SonicHost websites.
