As ransomware attacks continue to evolve, companies are facing not only threats to their production data but also to their backup systems. Recognizing this growing risk, Freightliner want to enhance the protection of their backup infrastructure, realizing that backups—often the last line of defense—require additional security measures.
This is when they turned to us – Intratel, their trusted IT security advisor, with whom they had successfully collaborated on multiple projects in the past. Together, we set out to identify a solution that could address Freightliner’s concerns and meet their requirements for a more secure and efficient backup environment.
The Solution: Veeam Hardened Repository
After a thorough analysis of Freightliner’s needs, we chose Veeam Backup & Replication with Hardened Repository—a solution specifically designed to provide enhanced security for backup data. This implementation delivered several key benefits:
-
Immutability lock: By utilizing the hardened repository feature, Freightliner now has immutable backups that cannot be modified or deleted by unauthorized parties, even in the event of a ransomware attack. This feature serves as an essential safeguard, ensuring the backups remain the company’s last line of defense.
-
Increased performance: Freightliner also experienced a significant boost in the performance of their backup processes. The efficiency gains not only reduced the time required for backups but also improved the overall reliability of their system.
-
Improved storage efficiency: With the introduction of the XFS file system and data cloning capabilities, the company has optimized their backup storage utilization, making better use of their available resources.
Freightliner’s decision to partner with Intratel once again proved successful. The combination of Intratel’s expertise and Veeam’s advanced technology not only met but exceeded their expectations. With the Veeam Hardened Repository in place, Freightliner can now operate with confidence, knowing their backup data is safe, immutable, and efficiently managed.
