Porsche Holding Salzburg migrates to the cloud, chooses Keepit for ransomware protection

Initially seeking SaaS data backup to protect their company from ransomware threats, Porsche Holding Salzburg became a customer with Keepit to ensure that their 30,000 user accounts were secure and protected from data loss. Andreas Fackler and Michael Bojko, both System Engineers at Porsche Informatik, share Porsche Holding’s story of migrating their data from on-prem to the cloud. Read the full story to learn how Keepit delivers SaaS cloud data protection on a global scale for Porsche Holding.

"More companies are affected by ransomware globally. By working with Keepit, we now have a solution if an event like this ever arose."

"We were searching for a SaaS solution, and we didn’t want to back up all the data on-prem. Keepit’s simple, easy-to-use cloud backup delivered what we were looking for."

Global scalability provides key benefits
With over 30,000 email accounts stored in their system, Porsche Holding needed a solution that was scalable. Keepit’s per user pricing model made it simple and cost-effective to manage accounts. The solution also allows their colleagues in other teams (SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive) to manage and restore their own data when necessary. This level of autonomy allows every team to manage their data, without needing support.

"We have been able to split the responsibilities for data protection among different teams. This setup allows teams to work efficiently and independently."

European data centers add extra level of security

Keepit’s European headquarters was also a key selling point. In fact, Porsche Holding’s security department recommended that the data be stored in the same location as the company. With data centers in Germany and Denmark, Porsche Holding could ensure that their data would be stored in Europe. Of course, Keepit always follows the 3-2-1 principle of backup, where 2 copies of data are stored at separate locations, and one copy is backed up in an off-site, private cloud. This principle ensures that their data can survive any calamity, making it impenetrable to ransomware and accidental deletion.

"Based on official guidance from our security department, it was important to have data centers in the same location as our company. Keepit’s European-based data centers were the answer."
