Protos Technologies has experienced massive growth since partnering with Redstor, a global data management and protection SaaS business, more than tripling the customer data it protects to 460TB in just 18 months. Protos started out by providing DR services to organisations predominantly from a banking background, but now services a range of sectors. The company has decades of experience with a 100% success rate for all disasters declared. Ensuring the security and availability of client data is their number one objective.

Ryan Thompson, sales and marketing director at Protos, explained: "The initial Redstor migration was 123TB of on-prem protected data, which grew rapidly with the acquisition of key larger customers. We subsequently added Microsoft 365 protection for our customers and are actively promoting and deploying Redstor's artificial intelligence for the detection of malware in backups."

Thompson puts this huge increase in business down to Redstor's smart, scalable way to manage and protect customer data, which spans modern and legacy infrastructure, whether on prem or in the cloud, including cloud-native, containerised workloads and an ever-widening array of SaaS applications - all through a single app for faster, easier protection.

He said: "Before Redstor we had a level of incumbent data protection that did not really increase. With Redstor's portfolio we protect more sources of data which has led to significant growth."

Promising streamlined operations, full visibility and a shorter sales cycle, Redstor helps MSPs better serve customers, identify new revenue possibilities and turbo charge their business. Purpose-built for MSPs with software that automatically highlights upsell and cross-sell opportunities, Redstor can be deployed and managed easily, without assistance and without the need to purchase and install hardware.

Thompson went on: "We are able to provision additional capacity for our customers at the click of a button as their data needs increase. It is technically seamless. This gives us the power to deliver a pay-as-you-grow model. Adding endpoints to any customer's tenant is just a matter of installing and configuring the necessary agent."

Ensuring customers are always free to focus on running their core production systems is key so Protos was keen to avoid any disruption during the switch to Redstor.

Rapid to deploy with zero upfront costs, Redstor also offers a uniquely efficient method of recovery with a proprietary technology - InstantData. In the event of a disaster recovery scenario or changing business demands that require the migration of a machine, users can stream restores on demand, eliminating the need to wait for a full recovery which occurs seamlessly in the background. This reduces Recovery Time Objectives from hours to seconds for near-zero downtime.

Bruce McKnight, IT consultant at Protos added: "A lot of people have not yet gone to the cloud. As they do that, we say 'In the same way that we protect your Exchange servers, we can seamlessly transition to 365 and on the same pane of glass' and they really like that. For any business onboarding customers in their thousands, there has to be automation. What Redstor is doing is a game-changer. It has been transformational in helping us to fully digitise our business operations and scale more quickly than ever."
