"Akronis Data Protection" ensures information integrity in Tatspirtprom

2021: Implementation of Acronis Data Protection

On June 9, 2021, it became known that the decision Acronis Data Protection"" was deployed in the infrastructure of the parent company of JSC JSC and in the Tatspirtprom virtual infrastructure of its three branches. The solution executes equally quickly backing up data on both physical servers Windows and Linux. virtual machines VMWare

As explained, the work of Tatspirtprom is provided by an extensive geographically distributed information infrastructure. It is based on both physical and virtual servers running on Windows Server and Linux.

The modern information infrastructure for June 2021 cannot but provide for data backup. Our production is based on them, data plays a decisive role for all areas of the company's work. I don't think it takes any reason to deploy a backup system - the main value must always be treated with the utmost attention. said Sergey Borisov, head of IT department of Tatspirtprom JSC

Earlier, Tatspirtprom JSC used several different solutions for organizing backup. However, none of them fully met the needs of the company, partly due to the complexity of configuration and use, partly due to insufficient performance. In some cases, different solutions had to be applied to individual information systems.

It is worth noting that due to the peculiarities of the company's information infrastructure, it becomes a critical requirement for it to choose a repository for backing up servers used by remote branches.

The customer decided to migrate to a single backup and recovery system. Asterit, which specializes in the design, development and implementation of information protection solutions, was engaged as a consultant. Its specialists conducted an audit of Tatspirtprom's information infrastructure and proposed the Akronis Data Protection solution as the basis for creating the system.

We have been working fruitfully with Asterit for many years. The company acts as a consultant and integrator in our projects related to information security, with the help of which we solved many tasks related to the protection of our systems. In the current project, our partners have once again proved their effectiveness. They organized a demonstration of the product, detailed its capabilities, application features, and we were able to make sure that Akronis Data Protection fully meets our requirements. supplemented by Sergey Borisov

Tatspirtprom JSC did not use a trial version of the product. The company emphasizes that the choice in his favor was made after the presentation. The Akronis Data Protection solution was deployed by the customer's specialists together with Asterit engineers. The consultation of Acronis Information Protection employees was required only when choosing the optimal product licensing scheme.

As of June 2021, the Akronis Data Protection solution works in the infrastructure of the holding's parent company and in the virtual infrastructure of its three branches. Each segment of Tatspirtprom information infrastructure has a separate backup storage. Each storage has an average capacity of approximately 6 TB, and total backups across all infrastructure segments reach 20 TB.

I can't help but note the confident operation of Acronis Data Protection in different environments. The solution backs up data equally quickly on both Windows and Linux physical servers and VMWare virtual machines. At the same time, the speed of the system allows us to avoid highlighting long "technological windows." Our services remain available in 24/7 mode, and each segment of the information infrastructure always has a backup that will allow you to quickly recover data in the event of a hardware failure or other threat. told Sergey Borisov

Sergey Borisov says that there have already been several cases when data recovery was required. The reason was the "human factor": several times users accidentally deleted critical information, which was quickly restored from current backups.

The company notes the simplicity of the solution. Its installation and configuration is not difficult, Acronis Data Protection is controlled from a single panel, and no special training of administrators and users is required.

I will not take to evaluate in numbers the cost and importance of the data. Probably, their value for June 2021 is obvious not only to IT specialists, but also to any manager: they become the main asset of the company and should be available around the clock. The loss of information can be compared with a disaster that can, if not destroy, seriously complicate the work of any company. concluded Sergey Borisov
