Challenges
The company had a large network of companies, working with them with
their individual projects. This required them to be up and running round
the clock. Their business model could not afford any downtime or data
loss whatsoever.
With so many cases of ransomware recently they wanted to be fully
protected against ransomware and other cyber-threats as they dealt with
very sensitive mission-critical data from companies, all over the world,
sometimes even military documents, so they could not afford it going to
the wrong hands.
Other than this, they could not afford any amount of data loss as they had
important data from many clients from all over the world that relied
greatly on them. They needed a solution which would prevent any type
of data loss and made sure that their data remained ‘backed up’ in an
off-site location, ready to be recovered whenever needed.
In other words, they needed a single unified backup & Disaster Recovery
(DR) solution which offered data protection, ransomware protection and
offered high availability for their data so that they would not suffer any
downtime. They also needed the solution to solve all their data
management and data security concerns in a very efficient and reliable
way.
“Ransomware has become so common these days that one
cannot be more careful, we needed an all-in-one solution
which would offer protection against ransomware, disaster
recovery and guaranteed no data loss, as we could not afford
any data loss or downtime for that matter,” said Jeff, the Senior IT
manager of the company.
