Data Protection Services
Data protection is centred around the protection of valuable information from compromise, corruption, or loss. It’s a more important consideration than ever before. Analysts reckon that 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created every single day! Against this background of constant data collection, speed is very much of the essence for business owners — even the slightest delay or downtime can make it impossible to access important information.
As organisations generate data at unprecedented rates, data management solutions become essential for making sense of the collected information. The good news is that data management doesn’t have to be an expensive quagmire. By consolidating tools and reducing complexity, we provide a unified approach that helps you shore up your bottom line while maintaining an exceptional experience.
Not to be confused with backups, data archiving refers to the identification of ‘inactive’ data and its subsequent transfer out of production and into long-term storage. In doing so, it’s important to make sure that you comply with HIPAA, SOX or FIPS 140 requirements. You need to formulate clear policies. To prevent data loss and outages, all archiving systems should be designed so that there is no single point of failure.
Data is the lifeblood of modern organisations. Its loss can lead to catastrophic results for the business owner, including reputational damage, fines, and even imprisonment. Nextbit is your lifeline. We help you to copy data from a primary to a secondary location, ensuring the integrity of your intellectual property in the event of a disaster, accident or malicious action.
As part of this process, we formulate a system for data protection, security, storage and other activities on your behalf. Our data compliance service establishes policies, processes and protocols to ensure that your data is protected from malware and unauthorised access and manipulation. If you trust Nextbit with your electronic discovery, you get to benefit from improved cost predictability and control.
Our HA services are focused on minimising loss of service by dramatically reducing or managing failures — as well as reducing planned downtime. HA is critical in scenarios where life, health, and well-being are at risk. It can only be achieved through rigorous planning and consistent monitoring. We figure out the right setup for you in light of your budget, level of staff expertise, and tolerance for service outages.
This involves backups, archiving and the use of data snapshots. These snapshots are precisely what they sound like: a picture of your business data at a specific point in time. They are fast, frequent and less resource intensive. Use them to incrementally back up data from various disks as often as you like, without affecting production. Snapshots are becoming particularly popular in the healthcare sector.
Business continuity efforts might also involve practices like data replication, where data residing on a physical or virtual server is continuously captured and copied to a secondary server or cloud service.
