Reliable, secure and efficient backups on 10 servers minimizes Pozitif Varlık Yönetim Inc.’s environmental impact and saves capacity
Background
Pozitif Varlık Yönetim A.Ş. is an expert in the banking, finance and law sectors that delivers services to individuals and companies facing challenges in regaining financial freedom. These services include asset management activities such as financial structure consulting, purchasing and selling of nonperforming receivables (NPL) portfolios and other assets, in accordance with industry regulations. Based in Istanbul, Türkiye, the company serves customers contributing to the Turkish economy.
Pozitif Varlık Yönetim A.Ş. relies on their MSP, RPM Teknoloji vs Danismanlik, for secure backup services. Having previously worked with leading backup solution players, Pozitif Varlık Yönetim A.Ş. noticed a poor return on investment (ROI) from their backup and recovery solution, VEEAM. The investment cost with VEEAM’s tool wasn’t worth the level of security and inefficiency Pozitif Varlık Yönetim A.Ş. experienced as they backed up assets to the cloud. Recognizing secure backups and restores played a crucial role in seamless, swift data recovery, Pozitif Varlık Yönetim A.Ş. knew this was imperative to the company’s ability to return to normal operations quickly.
Challenges
In need of an advanced backup solution, Pozitif Varlık Yönetim A.Ș. experienced high resource consumption and a lack of efficient backups, which led the company to reconsider their current backup and cyber protection tool. While using VEEAM, Pozitif Varlık Yönetim A.Ș. dealt with setbacks in terms of both cost and technique when backing up critical assets. Not only concerned with exhausting organizational resources, Pozitif Varlık Yönetim A.Ș. needed to secure 10 virtual servers and wanted peace of mind their organization and employees’ data remained secure. Additionally, the company could not afford a prolonged transition period as their MSP adopted a new tool. This meant the required backup, recovery and cyber protection capabilities would have to provide advanced security, be easy to use and seamlessly integrate with the existing security stack.
