Introduction
PLI sought a solution that could alleviate challenges they faced in data protection and backup efficiency. They chose Object First’s Ootbi appliance owing to its immutability, which provides robust protection against ransomware, and its speedy performance, among other reasons.
Challenge
Before transitioning to Object First, PLI housed both their production data and their backups on the same Windows server, thereby creating an inherent security risk. Any breach or failure of that server could have led to the simultaneous loss of both production data and its backups. Additionally, this Windows-based system did not support immutability. Subsequently, they added a Veeam Hardened Repository on a separate server, but they still had concerns about possible destructive actions with elevated administrator privileges.
Solution
Petronas opted to collaborate with their trusted partner, Gruppo 3C, on their backup infrastructure renewal project. Recognizing that Ootbi (Out-of-the-Box-Immutability) would meet the requirements of the project and impressed by the appliance’s security features, Gruppo 3C made the introduction. Once chosen, the installation and configuration of Ootbi were smooth, efficient, and fast.
Result
- Rapid Implementation and Resource Efficiency: Petronas experienced a notably fast setup process, conserving both time and financial resources. This allowed them to focus more on core operations while minimizing downtime typically associated with deploying traditional data solutions that require longer setup times.
- Immutability as a Security Enhancement: Ootbi greatly improved Petronas' data security by ensuring innate immutability. This feature prevents unauthorized users from altering or deleting data, significantly reducing the risk of data loss or corruption.
- Assured Peace of Mind: With the implementation of Ootbi, Petronas now enjoys a heightened sense of security regarding its data protection. The company can trust that backups are safe from ransomware and other cybersecurity threats, allowing them to concentrate on achieving their business goals.
- Speed and Performance Efficiency: The advanced storage architecture and optimized data management capabilities of Ootbi enable rapid data retrieval and recovery.
