The main task of the new data storage implementation was to provide suitable and efficient backup. However, there were other objectives ahead as well, such as:
- High performance
- Low latency
- Advanced data protection
- Good price-performance ratio
- Geo-redundancy

Challenges
In order to adapt to increasing demands, old and aging storage architecture had to be replaced with a new, sufficient for growing infrastructure needs. After analyzing various products on the market, Vidsys reached out to Nfina, a long-standing partner of Open-E, and presented us with a challenge.
Solution
Replacing the old storage with an advanced HA cluster, with 52 TB of storage, running 124 Virtual Machines, working together with 100+ VMs on 106 TB of storage allowed to apply Nfina’s Hybrid Cloud service - an Open-E JovianDSS-based product. The software can manage an immense amount of data, and synchronize the whole infrastructure while providing public cloud benefits at a reasonable price at the same time.
"We provide software solutions that ensure homeland security and business continuity against an entire range of risks that jeopardize people and business assets, revenue,and operations. Nfina’s products and managed solutions, and Open-E software, play a crucial role in insuring that our security solutions are continuously up and running and maximizing the availability of our IT Ecosystem and ultimately, the protection for our clients"
Ben Eazzetta, CEO at Ares Security
Achieved Result
High Availability cluster supported by Open-E JovianDSS' On- and Off-Site Data Protection, geo-redundancy, and rapid disaster recovery prevent data from being lost or corrupted. Adaptable backup plan customized by the user with consistent snapshots and their asynchronous replication guarantees the best backup possible that reduces the downtime to an absolute minimum, no matter if it’s a case of software or hardware issue (including natural disasters). A high scalability level allows for the constant expansion of the infrastructure while the company grows - Vidsys’ monthly savings reach $12,643.
