I Managed Service Provider (MSP) are companies specialized in the management and provision of IT services to external customers, such as businesses and public administrations. These services can include network management, cybersecurity, technical support, systems monitoring, data management and much more. MSPs offer customized solutions and services to meet customers’ specific needs, allowing them to focus on their core businesses. MSPs take care of each customer’s IT needs. With Cubbit DS3infrastructure management is completely swept away.
We have often told, in the pages of how2do.org, how Cubbit has long been playing the role of a hotbed of innovation, at a national and European level. The company, entirely Europen (it was founded in Bologna in 2016), is enjoying great success thanks to its platform storage cloud geodistribuita.
Unlike what centralized cloud providers do, Cubbit DS3 relies on one net peer-to-peer (P2P) in which each node is connected to many others, with a central hub that optimizes the network and makes it increasingly faster and more efficient. Cubbit relies heavily on the concept of data sovereignty: this means that users never lose control over information and always know where their data is stored, who can access it and how it can be used.
For the European legislator, the digital sovereignty is a fundamental concept that aims to protect the privacy and security of citizens’ data, ensuring that it is subject to rigorous standards and that it is treated securely and in compliance with applicable laws, such as the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
The partnership between Cubbit and CloudReso: reduced storage costs and improved data security
In recent months, Cubbit has launched a special program aimed at MSPs, system integrators and resellers, who can thus take advantage of the benefits deriving from the use of a highly interoperable for data storage which provides concrete guarantees from the point of view of information protection, in compliance with current regulatory devices.
CloudResoa distributor of security solutions for MSPs based in France, was able to reduce the cloud storage costs by 30% thanks to the Cubbit DS3 platform. A solution like DS3, in fact, is a fully-managed cloud object storage.
This means the cloud storage service Cubbit DS3 it is completely managed by the company itself. It is Cubbit that takes care of all management and maintenance tasks for the service, including initial setup, data security, performance monitoring, software updates and more. Thanks to the P2P approach, the structure of the cloud storage service is highly resilient: in the event of failures on one or more nodes, the data always remains reachable and available.
Il cloud object storageIt also organizes data into discrete units called “objects”. Everything is fine object contains the data itself, along with a unique identifier and descriptive metadata. A different approach from the traditional storage-based model file systemwhere data is organized into a hierarchical structure of folders and files.
The benefits for MSPs
As the CloudReso experience with the Cubbit DS3 platform demonstrates, every MSP can now offer its customers a cloud storage solution with unmatched data sovereignty specifications, geographic resilience and double ransomware protection (server side and client side).
Through the implementation of DS3, CloudReso has avoided incurring hidden costs traditionally linked to the use of S3, including exit, deletion and replication costs bucket.
Acronym for Simple Storage Service, S3 is a cloud storage service provided by AWS. Cubbit has set up a platform that is completely compatible (even at the level of API) and interoperable, allowing an agile migration to its DS3 solution.
Operating in all French-speaking countries, CloudReso manages beyond 790 TB of data and carry out the backup Of 1.590 endpoint. The transalpine company covers a wide range of vertical markets, including the public sector, ensuring extensive technical knowledge and support on S3-based solutions.
CloudReso has considered and evaluated various public cloud services over the years, including centralized S3 cloud storage solutions. These options entailed high costs, multiplied by the number of sites needed for the bucket replication.
Passando a Cubbit DS3, i Storage costs are fixed and include all major S3 APIs, along with geodistribution capability, allowing CloudReso to save 30% on storage costs while still providing a cloud storage solution that has a durability record: up to 99.9999999999999% (15 digit “9s” in a row). Cubbit’s fixed cost also allowed CloudReso to gain higher margins.
A 360-degree guarantee against ransomware
Cyber threats such as ransomware they are constantly evolving: they target both server and client systems. Using Cubbit technology, CloudReso now effectively protects its data and that of its customers client (Object Lock, versioning, IAM policy) which side server (geodistribution and encryption).
DS3 users can rest easy because Cubbit’s platform fights ransomware effectively, using the following “weapons”:
- Cryptography. First, the data is encrypted with the AES-256 algorithm, before being fragmented and distributed geographically. The data packets thus become unreadable, even if intercepted by attackers.
- Fragmentation and redundancy. The encrypted data is split into N pieces, each of which is indistinguishable from the others. These N pieces are replicated into K fragments using error-correcting codes Reed-Solomon. This ensures that even if some fragments are lost or damaged, the original data can always be reconstructed.
- Object Locking e versioning. With the system Object Locking, you can choose which data to make immutable for a specified period of time. During this time nothing and no one can modify or delete the information, including ransomware and human errors. With versioning, you can access your complete backup history at any time and speed up data recovery.
- IAM policy. This is a set of rules to control data access permissions and prevent unauthorized changes. An additional measure that makes it even more difficult for ransomware to encrypt or delete backups.
Cubbit conquers Europe
“Coupled with the explosive growth of unstructured data, European organizations are now faced with an increasing number of challenges: cyber threats, data sovereignty and unpredictable costs, to name a few. CloudReso has identified our DS3 platform as a true <
He echoes it Gilles GozlanCEO of CloudReso: “To store our data, we’ve used cloud storage providers based in the US and France for a long time, but they didn’t offer the geographic resilience, data sovereignty, and pricing simplicity that Cubbit provides. This allowed us to more easily estimate our ROI and generate a 30% savings on our previous costs for an equivalent setup. Cubbit will allow us to enter new data-intensive and highly regulated markets. Additionally, Cubbit has a support quality and response time that we haven’t found with any other provider. For these reasons we have not used any other S3 providers since we started working with Cubbit“.
In the future, CloudReso plans to bring the Cubbit platform to all Francophone territories. One of the next steps is to adopt Cubbit’s new DS3 Composer, to provide its customers with the ability to create content solutions in just a few minutes. customized cloud storage.
To date, Cubbit technology is used by over 250 European companies and partners, including Exclusive Networks (a global cybersecurity distributor worth $5.45 billion) and Leonardo (a $14 billion global leader in defense and cybersecurity). But the Cubbit platform, as highlighted several times, thanks to its very high scalability, it can also be used by individual professionals and small companies. To get to the realities of the enterprise world.
Indeed, it is possible to activate a free trial of Cubbit with no obligation to purchase and without inserting any credit card.
