Summary
When a serious cyberattack hit an Ireland-based logistics company, the organization was left scrambling to recover its data and prevent future attacks. Its trusted managed service provider, Landmark Technologies, stepped in to recommend and deploy StorageCraft’s OneXafe object-based scale-out immutable NAS appliance.
The result was a reliable and impenetrable solution that gave the company peace of mind in the face of potential cyber threats.
Background Information
The logistics company, operating in Ireland, had a revenue of €15.2 million and a team size of 45. After falling victim to a cyberattack in late 2020, the company became increasingly concerned about the risk of future attacks.
Challenge
The cyberattack not only infected the company’s live data sites, but also hit its backups and disaster recovery site, putting data across the entire organization at critical risk. The IT team was able to recover the data and rebuild the on-premise service systems over the course of 10 days, but spent much longer than anticipated doing so.
Decision Process
The company identified several key critical factors for a new solution: exceptionally high-grade data protection, a disconnect between backup and live data, and a fast deployment that guaranteed business continuity.
Solution
The company and its MSP partner, Landmark Technologies, decided on StorageCraft’s OneXafe 4412. The solution protects data with continuous immutable snapshots, which are taken every 90 seconds and cannot be overwritten or deleted by ransomware or users.
The data is also replicated offsite to Landmark Technologies’ data center, and the company can easily scale the solution as needed.
End Results
The company now stores 30 terabytes of data on its OneXafe appliance, with the ability to easily scale as needed. The data is also replicated offsite to Landmark Technologies’ data center, which also uses a OneXafe 4412 appliance. The company now has a reliable and impenetrable solution in place, giving them peace of mind against potential cyber threats.
Reflecting on the decision, Ken Kelleher, Managing Director of Landmark Technologies, says: “When we first spoke to the CLIENT about finding a new solution, the house was effectively on fire and the IT MANAGER was under a huge amount of pressure following the cyberattack. It was clear he needed fast deployment of a reliable, high-quality solution that could protect the organization’s data against any future attacks. Having used StorageCraft solutions ourselves, and also for a number of other customers, it was a no-brainer to recommend StorageCraft’s OneXafe. It’s a solution we’d stake our lives and reputation on.”
By choosing StorageCraft’s OneXafe, the logistics company was able to overcome the challenges they faced after a cyber attack and ensure that their data is secure and protected against future threats. With a reliable and fast solution in place, they can focus on growing their business without worrying about the security of their data.
