Backup infrastructure
Universal Swiss bank
The basis of our collaboration was an unsuccessful attempt to implement NetBackup as an enterprise backup solution in 2013 ... with the open question of whether the project might have to be reversed. After a brief analysis and intervention by dignum Consulting, the project was “rescued” for the customer. Since then, the financial institution has relied on our cooperation and together we have already successfully implemented various lifecycle cycles.
- Expert opinion on NetBackup implementation
- Tuning of Veritas NetBackup
- Consulting & concept development
- Repeated renewal/refresh of the backup infrastructure
- Use of Veritas Flex Appliances
- Increase in backup & restore performance
- Development of disaster recovery capacities
- Relocation of data centers (and backup systems)
- Conversion of licensing
Backup Risk Assessment
International defense contractor
The objective is to increase resilience and seal off backup environments against possible ransomware attacks. UC-Advisory & dignum combine a high level of security expertise with in-depth IT infrastructure know-how. The fundamental challenge will remain: Backup is always the primary target of a ransomware attack and at the same time the “last line of defense”. It is only without a functioning backup that you are really forced to pay the blackmailer(s).
- Transparent presentation of the risks in data backup
- Conducting of joint workshops with the specialist departments
- Creation of a comprehensive report
- Including specific recommendations for proactive risk minimization
- Increasing the resilience of backup environments against ransomware attacks
- Strengthening the ability to act & react
- Final presentation to management
Backup for cloud workloads (M365 & Entra ID)
German insurance company
With the switch from operating its own systems to M365 as a cloud service (SaaS), our long-standing customer was faced with the question of how to implement reliable, independent data backup as BaaS (Backup as a Service). At the same time, it was realized that in addition to the pure data, securing the legal structure in the event of DR is also fundamentally important. Unique selling points in the market and at the same time decisive arguments for working with Keepit are:
- Based in Copenhagen ( therefore fully subject to European data protection law)
- Operation of own cloud infrastructure also in Germany (= truly independent backup)
- Very simple setup & administration
- Feature set, especially in the area of backup & restore of Entra ID (Azure AD)
- Extensive search & restore functionalities
- Certification (including ISO-27001)
- Transparent costs / user-based licensing
- Unlimited: Data volume & retention times
