In areas where regulations are stringent — like finance and healthcare — there is a necessity for on-site data backup to meet compliance requirements. By keeping data within their own facilities, companies gain more control over the handling and storage of their data. This also reassures data security teams.
The in-house backup solution from Brightworks IT ensures the safety of your endpoint data stored within your premises for a heightened sense of data security. It supports automated backups and allows you to select from a variety of storage media, such as external hard drives, Network Attached Storage (NAS), backup devices, or object storage units.
Brightworks IT’s On-Premise Backup Features
Our self-hosted backup services integrate seamlessly with on-premise disk arrays, granting full authority over how your essential business data is stored and managed.
Unlimited file and folder backup
With Brightworks IT, you can back up any file or folder, without any restrictions on its type. The system efficiently duplicates your files to the designated storage option, regardless of their location on your device. You have the option to specifically choose folders for backup or exclusion. The system can also back up files that are currently in use, such as PST files, for the A-to-Z backup process.
Comprehensive enterprise audit trail
Our system methodically records, timestamps, and audits every critical interaction. Through Brightworks IT’s centralized web console, administrators get a comprehensive view via their dashboard. The console also provides detailed, schedulable reports that cover all activities in detail.
Policy-based management for IT administrators
IT administrators can control backup and restoration activities remotely. This is facilitated by a centralized console offering a range of customizable backup policies. This setup allows for detailed user management, scheduling of backups, and precise selection or exclusion of specific files and folders.
Network bandwidth optimization
Brightworks IT employs advanced features to optimize network usage during backup and restoration processes. This includes network throttling, which regulates data flow based on network availability. This means the bandwidth is used to its full capacity without compromising backup quality.
Administrator-approved deletion
This feature allows administrators to selectively delete user files and folders from backup storage, which is vital for maintaining GDPR compliance and honoring users’ privacy rights. All such deletions are logged for compliance and auditing purposes.
Data deduplication and compression
You also get an intelligent, variable-length block-level deduplication process at the source. This, combined with data compression, significantly reduces the required network bandwidth and storage space, making the backup process more efficient.
Protection against full disk encryption risks
Brightworks IT ensures comprehensive backups from endpoint devices to your choice of cloud storage. This approach mitigates the risk of data loss that can occur due to forgotten passwords or issues with full disk encryption software.
Effortless mass deployment
Our software can be easily deployed across endpoints using mass deployment tools like Microsoft InTune, Microsoft SCCM, and Active Directory Group Policies. It’s also compatible with many third-party tools to simplify the process for your IT team.
Delegated administration capabilities
The system allows for the creation of administrative roles with limited permissions. These roles can be assigned to individuals for conducting specific administrative tasks on a select group of servers. Administration can be delegated based on department, location, or subsidiary, offering flexible management options.
The Brightworks IT Advantage
Secure data transit and storage encryption
We secure your data with powerful encryption both while it’s being transferred and when it’s stored. This end-to-end encryption means your data is protected at every stage, giving you peace of mind about its safety.
Smart backup: full and incremental strategies
After an initial full backup, your dedicated managed IT services provider backs up only new or changed data. For larger files, like PSTs, our system uses a Partial File Incremental backup method, which only transmits the changed parts of these files.
Guaranteed privacy with zero-knowledge protocol
Built on the principle of Zero-Knowledge Privacy, our data recovery teams ensure that only you have access to your data. Not even the cloud provider, Brightworks IT, government bodies, or regulatory authorities can access it. Your data remains exclusively yours.
Proprietary technology for elevated data protection
Powered by our unique, patented privacy enhancement technology, we create an ironclad storage environment. Backup data undergoes shredding, encryption, and versioning, setting a high-security standard that’s tough for attackers to breach.
Defensive measures against insider data threats
Recognizing that data threats can sometimes originate internally, we offer solutions to defend against harmful actions by employees, whether intentional or accidental. Your data is securely backed up, mitigating the risk of malicious deletions.
Advanced data security and anonymization techniques
Leveraging our proprietary technology, we not only encrypt your data but also ensure strict separation of duties. To guarantee the highest level of data security and privacy, the system includes complete obfuscation of file and folder names and file shredding before storing backup data.
Global reach with scalable and compliant solutions
Brightworks IT caters to businesses with a global presence. It provides a scalable solution that works effortlessly across several locations, with unified policy management. We have designed our services for elasticity, redundancy, and failover for 100% reliability. It also accommodates data locality and sovereignty requirements as needed.
Effective ransomware defense with point-in-time recovery
Since you always have a secure copy of your data, in the event of an attack, you can use the “point-in-time” technology to revert to a pre-attack state and recover your data, freeing you from the attacker’s grip.
