Data availability and simplicity: Keepit backs up Griesser’s critical data

Griesser is a leading provider of high quality and market-responsive solar shading solutions for windows and patios in Europe. With European regulations dictating data retention periods, and the company seeking an independent backup and recovery provider to cover its 1,750 users, Griesser deployed Keepit to secure its Microsoft 356 data, including Entra ID.   

Data availability and retention at the forefront  

“Business continuity is a very important factor in production. If production were to come to a standstill, it would have far-reaching negative consequences,” explains Nico Guglielmo, Head of ICT Platform Services at Griesser. The company began its search for an independent backup solution to secure its data — and comply with data retention requirements — when the decision to replace its on-premises solution with a SaaS solution was made. The Keepit platform provides unlimited data storage and retention for its customers, allowing companies to not only fulfill regulatory requirements, but ensure data availability far into the future

Simple and easy to use platform  

Choosing Keepit’s platform boiled down to the simplicity of the platform. “Handling the backups in the platform is very simple and self-explanatory. We don't have to worry about updates, availability, maintenance or storage space,” continues Nico Guglielmo. With IT resources and budgets continuing to be a challenge for most companies, Keepit’s solution reduces manual hours spent by automating backups, simplifying maintenance and ensuring security — all in one simple to use platform.

Independent data centers in Europe  

Keepit owns and runs its own, independent cloud and stores customer data in seven regions across the globe. For Griesser, it was paramount to store data in Europe. Cloud-native and European born, Keepit is completely independent from large hyperscalers. “We are convinced that we have chosen the right provider,” adds Nico Guglielmo.
