Files streamed immediately and on demand
Unlike with other disaster recovery solutions, there will never be a need for Rooks Rider to wait for all their files or even an entire database to be restored before being able to start operating again.
With Redstor’s InstantData™ technology the most critical files, the ones the firm needs to access first, are streamed immediately and on demand.
Darren added: “I was working at night to get everything up and running. When I needed it to work, it did straight away. I restored about 3GB immediately. With our old backup and recovery solution, it would have been far more awkward getting the data back. “It was just so straightforward with Redstor.”
With Redstor’s unique solution that is built for the cloud, Rooks Rider is able to discover, manage, control and protect data with ease.
Running on servers, laptops and workstations, with backup selections profiled from a centralised control centre, Redstor provides rapid and granular restore for Office 365 and SaaS applications.
Redstor unifies backup, instant-data recovery and access, archiving, search and data migration, enabling borderless visibility of Rooks Rider’s entire data estate at any time, on any device.
This enables the firm to fully comply with any ‘Right to be Forgotten’ requests received from individuals under the General Data Protection Regulation.
Organisations are obliged to remove all information on individuals from their databases within a month of the request being submitted.
Darren said: “We might have to remove stuff very quickly under GDPR – and I know I can do that with Redstor. “That will be of real benefit because as part of GDPR if we are asked to delete everything we have on someone, we have to get rid of it. “We can quickly remove data – not just from the system – but also anything that’s been backed up or archived. There can be cases that stretch across several departments – so to have the visibility and ability to do that quickly is great.”
Redstor has made data management tasks smaller and simpler for Rooks Rider.
Darren said: “I had a trial and that ended up being the onboarding. I liked it straight away because it’s easy and quick to navigate around. The previous solution was quite a rigmarole, it is all a lot more simplified with Redstor.” Redstor delivers simple-to-manage, highly scalable, long-term cloud archiving-as-a-service to extend the life of expensive hardware assets and delay the purchase of more primary storage to cope with data growth.
Darren said: “Ahead of moving into a new office, we made a renewed effort to go paperless.
"As a result a lot more files are online and the amount of data on our document management system has grown a lot quicker – even more so in the last couple of months. With that in mind, we will be archiving more files than ever.”
