Superstores, the supermarket chain part of the SMN (Sadat Mansoor Naderi) Group in Kabul
has, in collaboration with Urolime
Technologies, has chosen Securstore‘s
Cloud Backup and Recovery service to protect its data.
Finest will be implementing Securstore’s solution across its entire Afghanistan
group with expansion planned for the future.
Due to the country’s volatility, ensuring DR and business
continuity protection was vital to Finest’s backup decision. Due to an
existing multi-disciplinary environment with Windows infrastructure currently
in place and Open Source ERP with front-end Java and MySQL/PostgreSQL databases
planned, a flexible solution was necessary. The company’s transfer to a leased network will also offer improvement to backup
and restore processes as data stores grow.
To meet security requirements, Finest needed a solution
that offered 256 AES Encryption with FIPS 140-2 certification. Securstore
ensured this was met, as well as other internationally recognised standards
such as SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley Act) and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act).
Abhilash Subhash, CEO of Urolime Technologies said: "Finest was particularly concerned about the
safety of its data. We found Securstore to be the only provider capable of
meeting these requirements. In these unique situations security, reliability
and restore processes far outweigh any other factors when setting up a backup
solution. After testing the technology first, we were more than happy to
recommend Securstore to Finest, as well as for our other customers."
Urolime Technologies, part of the Urogulf
Group, is an IT services organisation with offices in Asia, the Middle
East, Australia and the USA.
Securstore offers an enterprise cloud backup
platform that protects an organisation’s entire digital footprint (storage,
servers, desktops, and laptops on the enterprise LAN, as well as remote
devices). The collaboration between the two companies allows Urolime
Technologies to leverage Securstore’s expertise to provide a
secure Cloud Backup solution to its entire customer base.
Alexander Eriksson, COO of Securstore said: "We are delighted to have been recommended to
Finest Superstores through our partner Urolime Technologies. Finest’s decision
highlights the fact that Securstore’s solution can be deployed in any country
worldwide irrespective of users, offices or IT infrastructure. We’re pleased
Urolime Technologies values the benefits our technology brings to customers and
are excited to be working with them."
