Case Study: Statistics Iceland secures offsite backup and fast recovery with Asigra Cloud Backup

Statistics Iceland secures over 70 SQL databases and hundreds of gigabytes with Asigra Cloud Backup

Statistics Iceland, the national statistical institute of Iceland, faced the challenge of securely backing up hundreds of gigabytes of sensitive official and civil data. Their previous tape-based system was straining under the increasing data load, and they required a more secure and reliable solution that included offsite storage. They selected the managed backup and recovery service from Securstore, which is powered by Asigra Cloud Backup™.

The solution implemented by Asigra involved backing up all critical data, including over 70 SQL databases and file systems, to a secure offsite location every night. The results included enhanced data security with encryption both in transit and at rest, a fast recovery capability with bare-metal restore, and a cost-effective pay-as-you-use model that avoided a substantial upfront investment. The vendor, Asigra, provided a platform that automated backups without requiring agents and ensured data was compacted and securely stored offsite.
