Krasnoyarsk Energosbyt switched to Cyber Backap

2022: Cyber Backup Implementation

On March 24, 2022, the Cyber Project company announced that PJSC Krasnoyarsk Energosbyt was switching to Cyber Backup.

According to the company, PJSC Krasnoyarsk Energy Company is a supplier of electricity in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The company is part of ESK RusHydro JSC and serves more than 1.1 million individuals and 32 thousand legal entities. As of March 2022, PJSC Krasnoyarsk Energosbyt includes 5 territorial departments and 47 district branches and sections that cover the entire territory of the region. The company employs more than 1,100 people.

PJSC Krasnoyarsk Energosbyt manages a developed information infrastructure, which consists of several dozen virtual servers, more than 1000 workstations and several dozen information systems. The most important business process of PJSC Krasnoyarsk Energy Company is the organization and execution of settlements with customers, individuals and legal entities for consumed electricity. This largely determines the nature of the data that is generated in the company's activities. A significant part of them belong to the category of personal and require compliance with strict standards related to their collection and storage.

Of course, we pay considerable attention to data security. This is due not only to the obligations to ensure the safety of these customers. Losing or compromising data will result in significant financial losses and will threaten the entire business of the company. Therefore, one of the key elements of our infrastructure is a data backup and recovery system, which was previously based on the solution of one of the foreign developers. The course on import substitution, adopted at PJSC Krasnoyarsk Energgosbyt, required the transfer of the backup system to a domestic solution. We sought not only to replace one solution with another, but also to gain additional opportunities through migration. Therefore, when choosing imported non-volatile software, they considered those options that are not just not inferior in their working qualities to foreign counterparts, but also have additional capabilities. said Alexey Federyagin, head of the information technology department of PJSC Krasnoyarsk Energosbyt

To create an updated backup and recovery system, the specialists of PJSC Krasnoyarsk Energosbyt chose the Cyber Backup solution of Cyber Project. Previously, the company's specialists studied the feedback on the work of various products, their capabilities and technical features. The choice in favor of the Cyberproject solution was due to technical characteristics: support for many platforms, speed and reliability of operation, ease of configuration and management.

The implementation of Cyber Backup was carried out by specialists of PJSC Krasnoyarsk Energy Byt on their own. The entire migration process for this decision took about six months.

We were in no hurry to launch the system, as we were waiting for the release of an updated version of the solution. We sought to take full advantage of it. said Alexey Federyagin

First of all, the specialists of PJSC Krasnoyarsk Energosbyt sought to organize correct interaction with LTO tape repositories, support of which was implemented in the updated version of Cyber Backup. The technical support service of Cyber Project helped to solve this problem of the company.

To manage the backup process, the company uses a single central administration with a web interface. A special storage facility has been allocated for storing backups in the infrastructure of PJSC Krasnoyarsk Energosbyt. The amount of data to be backed up is more than 50 TB.

Among the capabilities of Cyber Backup, PJSC Krasnoyarsk Energy Byt highlights the speed of the solution, its simplicity and friendliness, support for backup policies, and the ability to manage from a single console. Experts also note the availability of comprehensive documentation in Russian and the effective work of the technical support service of Cyber Project.

The updated backup system has already demonstrated its effectiveness. The specialists of PJSC Krasnoyarsk Energosbyt had to resort to its "services" due to the human factor: several times users mistakenly deleted important data that were quickly restored using the solution.

Cyber Project not only constantly develops Cyber Backup, but also provides appropriate support. The solution itself allows you to completely close the task of ensuring the security of data, which is key to the business of our company. supplemented by Alexey Federyagin
