Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor introduced Cyber Backup

2023: Implementation of the Cyber Backup Backup System

The Cyberprotect company on October 4, 2023 announced the introduction of the Cyber ​ ​ Backup system at the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor.

According to the company, the pandemic has changed the requirements for IT infrastructure - at the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology Rospotrebnadzor significantly increased the number of studies and, accordingly, the volume of information processed increased. In this regard, tools were required to protect large amounts of critical data, including during peak loads and possible software and hardware failures.

As part of the digital transformation strategy, the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor is systematically switching to domestic software. Earlier, the Institute used a backup system from a foreign developer. The external challenges of recent years and the departure of Western companies from Russia dictated the need to choose a domestic IT solution for reliable data protection.

The main task that our team faced was to make the backup process completely transparent and managed, to ensure the storage of all critical data of the organization and to choose a proven solution from a domestic developer for this, protected from the risks associated with the use of foreign software. The latter requirement is particularly important within the framework of the Institute's strategy to ensure impermanence. told Maxim Glazov, head of the center for the development of information technologies and systems of the FBUN Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor

The domestic system was supposed to ensure uninterrupted backup and recovery of data of all IT systems of the Institute. IT specialists of the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor formulated a list of requirements for an updated backup system:

• Optimal backup speed
• reliable storage of all organization data;
• Centralized management and control of backups
• The ability to replicate backups
• Backing up information from various database management systems, workstations, physical server-virtual machines, etc.
• a completely Russian solution.

which Software is being implemented state in organizations of such a level as the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor, must meet strict reliability and security requirements and be in. register of Russian software Ministry of Digital Development The best solution that meets both state security standards and the requirements of the organization is the Cyber ​ ​ backup and recovery system developed by the Russian company Cyberprotect. This development can be used in small and large businesses, as well as in government organizations where critical systems and data need to be protected.

We chose Cyber ​ ​ Backup, since it met the entire list of our requirements - this is a Russian import-independent product that has proven itself in the market. One of the primary criteria for the choice of IBS was its versatility. It is very important for us that the system can back up information databases of various types, workstations, physical servers, virtual machines, etc. The modular structure of Cyber ​ ​ Backup makes it easy to implement, since it is possible to install the necessary security agents depending on the type used: DBMS for, , Microsoft SQL Server/and PostgreSQL MySQLMariaDB others. told Maxim Glazov

IT specialists of the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor introduced a backup system on their own, without involving third-party specialists. In the first step, the updated RMS was used in pilot mode to back up virtual machines. According to Maxim Glazov, Cyber ​ ​ Backup showed itself, after which the IBS was deployed to the entire infrastructure of the Institute, entrusting it with protecting physical servers, file storage, virtualization platforms and workstations.

The entire implementation process took about 5 months. It is worth noting the professional work of Cyberprotect technical support engineers - the vendor's specialists helped us in difficult moments, answering all the questions posed. The implementation and launch of Cyber ​ ​ Backup went smoothly. An intuitive interface allows you to work with it without additional training of employees. told the head of the IT division of the Institute

Cyber ​ ​ Backup protects about 100 TB of strategically important data from the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor. IBS has already managed to prove its Efficiency-After a database failure, you can quickly recover all information. The specialists of the Institute noted the effective operation of the system in force majeure situations and in case of errors related to the human factor. Another important feature of Cyber ​ ​ Backup is simple control and interface. The entire RMS infrastructure is monitored through a single management server. It optimizes system administration and configuration.

We have already appreciated the functionality, versatility of the system. After the introduction of Cyber ​ ​ Backup, the backup process became transparent and controlled. We have set up regular reports and alerts about the status of these transactions. So we always know what happens to backups at a particular moment. This eliminates situations when they are not created and specialists are not aware of the problem. We also set up a backup schedule to organize the creation of backups throughout the day. summed up Maxim Glazov, head of the center for the development of information technologies and systems of the FBUN Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor
