To ensure that the appropriate record is maintained and the institute continues to operate unhindered, the organization had to manage and control a large data pool; while ensuring that the data always available and secure from threats like data corruption, ransomware, accidental deletion, malicious deletion, etc. “We had documents and emails, and just so much data. And it was all important. We couldn’t risk data loss or corruption. We needed a solution that made sure our data was always accessible and secure” – said David, the IT administrator of the institute.
