Recent Projects
SaaS Backup & Desaster Recovery Solution (M365, Entra ID, Azure DevOps, Power Platform, Power BI, Dynamics 365 & GitHub)
International technology company
As a specialist in the research, development, manufacture and use of inspection equipment for pipelines and other complex technical installations the use of cloud-based SaaS products is an essential component of the internal and external working world. Tamper-proof and long-term data storage, as well as protection against potential ransomware attacks, is of paramount importance. To ensure uninterrupted operational capability, the client opted for a partnership with the manufacturer Keepit.
- Broad support for existing cloud workloads
- Clear focus of the partner on further development and support for potential future software deployments
- Maximum protection against data manipulation or deletion
- Secure, long-term storage of very large data volumes
- Good price-performance ratio with the elimination of risks (cost increases due to data growth)
- Option to select the location/region where the data storage is located
- Simple administration to avoid overloading the existing (small) backup team.
Enterprise backup solution
Global retailer
We have been working closely with the central backup department since 2014 and support them in their planning and activities in the area of backup infrastructure. One of the largest and dynamically growing data backup environments in the world, where we have been able to fulfill very different requirements and wishes in many joint projects over the years.
- On-site operational support (temporary)
- Delivery, pre-configuration, setup & implementation of backup appliances from multiple manufacturers (worldwide)
- Standardization of international backup environments
- Conception & design
- Training & education (worldwide)
- Global DR data center
- Various migration & conversion projects
- Data center relocations
- Special projects (e.g. DB with 160TB with SLA specifications: backup<4h / recovery<6h) NetBackup catalog manipulation
- License & contract management
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 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 for data centers and cloud workloads (M365, Entra ID, Jira & Confluence)
German insurance company
Long-standing customer with several data centers (physical, virtual systems inclusive backup for SAP HANA, Backup-2-Disk-2-Tape) and top security requirements. Cohesity DataProtect, NetBackup with Flex Appliances and Quantum Tape Libraries in use. For the switch from operating its own systems to several cloud services (SaaS) the company was faced with the question of how to implement reliable, independent Data Backup as a Service. Unique selling points to work with Keepit had been:
- 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
