what is the hardwere reqirement for bank computer?

Question

i have a project to make a computer for a bank

Answer 1

They is no much difference for a bank computer but you may found that they would use mainframe as server and also backup storage

In fact, many banks would have their own development team for the design from OS to app program. (This include a modification on UNIX)

The starting point would be from system definition and security policy.

Since your project is limited to make a computer, you may look at Intel's LaGrandeTechnology. It can bring out some idea. In fact, they are using software to do the encryption. You may also check on RSA which is the most popular keys for encryption. For quick reference, you should look at FreeBSD, i.e. secured UNIX.

The application is more or less the same with normal PC or system except with mainframe. But the security is the most important, so check with anything about secured computing or secured information system.

Answer 2

Here are the basic requirements:
- display
- input (keyboard)
- computing unit

There are also other extra accessories, like:
- printer (to print statements, certificates, passbooks, etc)
- card reader (to allow operator access and/or to read client's card)
- card maker
- thumbprint recognizer (to allow operator access and/or to read client's thumb)

And so on.



What kind of computers they are though depend on the computer suppliers that the banks contracted.


It should be noted that most bank computer operators communicate to the bank computers and other bank computer using a simple text terminal interface, meaning that most bank computers are low speed computers.
