The starting point.
A Portuguese family business in wholesale trade since 1954, with two operations — Cash & Carry (Marabuto) and Super Plus.
The previous storage solution, based on six NAS units, had become a concern for the IT setup — cybercriminals can now reset a NAS and wipe data.
A need to ensure business continuity against threats such as ransomware.
How we approached it.
Filipe Cruz consulted INFOS, Marabuto's software house and a StorageCraft Premier partner, and chose the OneXafe solution.
Immutable-snapshot technology — any data written to OneXafe resides in read-only format.
If anyone accesses the appliance and tries to encrypt files, the original data can be restored from the snapshots in seconds.
Geographically distant replication to a NAS, ensuring a copy in a safe location.
What changed.
Server restoration in the event of a cyberattack, protecting the data.
Immutable snapshots that thwart malicious attempts to delete data.
Centralisation of information in one place with geographically distant replication.
A simple solution to work with, without heavy configuration.
Fast implementation (under a week).
A lower associated cost compared with the previous NAS units.
OneXafe is the solution to guarantee business continuity. I know that if I'm attacked I'll have a problem on my servers and will have to restore them, but I lose only a morning instead of losing a year's work.
