Client requirements

Cost-Effective and Scalable Backup Solution The client needed a secure backup system that eliminates the high maintenance and capital costs of on-premises storage, with the flexibility to scale as needed.
High Availability and Data Durability They required a reliable solution to ensure continuous data availability and resilience without depending on complex on-premise setups.
Enhanced Security and Regulatory Compliance A robust data security framework was essential to meet industry regulations and protect sensitive data.
Long-Term Data Retention Strategy The client needed a solution to store and access data over extended periods while optimizing storage costs.

Our approach & solution

To help Sterling Accuris move away from the limitations of on-premises storage, enreap proposed a strategic cloud backup solution using AWS. Our team conducted a detailed assessment of their data management needs and implemented a secure, scalable, and cost-effective architecture. By leveraging AWS services like Amazon S3 Glacier and CloudBerry Backup, we ensured smooth data migration and long-term storage capabilities. This approach not only addressed their storage challenges but also provided high availability, easy data retrieval, and future-ready scalability—enabling Sterling Accuris to manage their data more efficiently while optimizing costs.

Cloudberry Backup Deployment

enreap installed and configured Cloudberry Backup on Sterling Accuris' on-premises servers and workstations to automate data backup tasks. The software was integrated with their AWS environment to enable seamless, scheduled backups. Features such as encryption, backup scheduling, and incremental backups were configured to ensure secure and optimized data transfer.

AWS S3 Glacier Integration

AWS S3 Glacier was chosen for long-term, low-cost data storage with high durability and security. enreap set up vaults within S3 Glacier to organize archived data efficiently and support regulatory compliance.

Access & Security Configuration

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles and policies were configured to ensure granular access control and secure operations. S3 storage settings and bucket policies were optimized to balance accessibility and cost-effectiveness.

Backup Planning and Execution

Custom backup plans were created via Cloudberry, specifying data types, encryption, retention periods, and backup schedules. Incremental backups were enabled to reduce bandwidth usage and control cloud storage costs.

Monitoring and Management

Sterling Accuris monitors all backups using the Cloudberry Backup dashboard, receiving real-time alerts and completion statuses. enreap ensured proper configuration for ongoing monitoring and management of backup health and performance.

Data Retrieval and Restoration

In the event of data loss or recovery needs, Sterling Accuris can retrieve archived data from AWS S3 Glacier through Cloudberry's flexible retrieval options—including expedited, standard, and bulk retrievals—based on urgency and data volume.
