Securing and Archiving Data
Data is a valuable business asset. Business performance is increasingly dependent on protecting data, mitigating risks and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Securing and archiving data
Protecting data while ensuring regulatory compliance and meeting RPO/RTO requirements are keys to ensuring business continuity.
Throughout the data lifecycle, you need to carry out relevant processes that are supported with various technology solutions. When planning a solution, you must select the components that best support these processes. These may include dedicated PBBAs (Purpose Built Backup Appliance) or VTLs (Virtual Tape Library), PTLs (Physical Tape Library) or data archive systems (traditional and object-based). These solutions include mechanisms for mitigating disaster risks (e.g., data center loss) and risks from cyber-attacks, as well as relevant software. When selecting new equipment, you need to keep in mind that migrating data from existing equipment to new products is the most challenging part of your transformation.
Why solutions for protecting and archiving data are crucial for business environments?
Regulatory compliance
We make sure that our solutions are compliant with the regulations, such as the Protection of Documents and Archives and Archival Institutions Act (ZVDAGA) and the GDPR.
Mitigating operational risks
Defend yourself against cyber-attacks and other disasters that could compromise your stored data.
Public cloud integration
By copying archival content into a public cloud, you can ensure a high level of capacity flexibility.
Scalability
Data protection and archiving systems can be easily scaled to meet the demands of growing volumes of data.
DATA CENTER - ready for what's coming
We know that data is an asset for any organization with varying needs to store, process, transfer and secure it. We have extensive experience and use a broad range of solutions from major equipment makers so we can build an optimal and vendor-agnostic data center that’s fully tailored to your needs.

Milestones of Data Center transformation
Analysis of the current state
We analyze the existing IT infrastructure, the technologies used, documentation and diagrams. We assess the complexities of the configuration and develop a general plan with improvement recommendations.
Proposal for an infrastructure solution based on best practices
We describe the key building blocks and concepts and prepare an architecture diagram of the proposed solution and integration with the existing IT environment. The proposal ensures improved utilization of hardware and other IT resources and compatibility with new technologies and providers of cloud computing services.
Detailed Specification
We prepare a list of products/software with the relevant licenses with corresponding vendors’ SKUs and descriptions of all components.
Detailed deployment plan
We design an IP/VLAN network plan for each segment, allocating resources to individual components, prepare infrastructure diagrams and blueprints for server racks, physical connections, and cabling. We identify critical points of failure and operational activities for managing the data center and the IT services we provide.
We create a detailed infrastructure architecture and configuration instructions for the building blocks and a communication matrix for the services that make up the infrastructure solution (service names, target/source, protocol/interfaces). We prepare the operating rulebook and set up and configure the IT security infrastructure elements.
