Porsche Holding Salzburg migrates to the cloud, chooses Keepit for ransomware protection

Initially seeking SaaS data backup to protect their company from ransomware threats, Porsche Holding Salzburg became a customer with Keepit to ensure that their 30,000 user accounts were secure and protected from data loss. Andreas Fackler and Michael Bojko, both System Engineers at Porsche Informatik, share Porsche Holding’s story of migrating their data from on-prem to the cloud. Read the full story to learn how Keepit delivers SaaS cloud data protection on a global scale for Porsche Holding.

Making the switch: from on-prem to the cloud

After moving from a locally installed, on-prem mail system to Microsoft 365, Porsche Holding was on the lookout for a SaaS cloud backup solution. After researching the SaaS data backup solutions available, Keepit’s user-friendly, transparent backup and recovery process was the most appealing option for Porsche Informatik.

European data centers add extra level of security

Keepit’s European headquarters was also a key selling point. In fact, Porsche Holding’s security department recommended that the data be stored in the same location as the company. With data centers in Germany and Denmark, Porsche Holding could ensure that their data would be stored in Europe. Of course, Keepit always follows the 3-2-1 principle of backup, where 2 copies of data are stored at separate locations, and one copy is backed up in an off-site, private cloud. This principle ensures that their data can survive any calamity, making it impenetrable to ransomware and accidental deletion.  

Fast and simple onboarding leads to a smooth start

After a quick, one-week onboarding process, Porsche Holding shared their satisfaction with the simple setup and friendly customer service. They felt supported in the process, highlighting that the Keepit team checked in regularly to make sure that their onboarding was going smoothly.
