    If you handle patient data, then you need to consider Cloudian. Here's why...

    The NHS is arguably the most critical institution within the UK, handling a massive amount of sensitive patient data. It's paramount that this data remains secure, protected from ransomware attacks, and complies with privacy regulations.

    An immutable cloud backup service like Cloudian can offer a robust solution to these challenges. The best bit is; if you currently use on-premises, cloud, or hybrid cloud backup solutions, Cloudian is compatible. It even works with tape backups!

    Here’s a breakdown based on the features of Cloudian and the inherent benefits of immutable cloud backup services:

    Data Immutability

    Cloudian's Object Lock technology can ensure data immutability, meaning once the data is stored, it cannot be altered or deleted for a predefined period. This is crucial for protection against ransomware, as it prevents malicious software from encrypting or modifying the data​.

    Ransomware Protection

    Cloudian’s Object Lock technology protects backup data from any modification, deletion, or encryption by hackers, malware, ransomware, or internal threats, making data completely unchangeable for a fixed period.

    Data Security

    Cloudian provides data encryption both at rest (using AES-256 server-side encryption) and in transit (via SSL). Additionally, it supports role-based access controls, transparent key management, and audit trail logging, which are fundamental for maintaining data security and complying with regulatory requirements.

    Privacy Compliance

    Immutable backups facilitated by Cloudian aid in compliance with data privacy regulations by ensuring that historical copies of data remain verifiably accurate over time.

    Cost & Operational Efficiencies

    With no ingress/egress charges, you eliminate billing spikes when usage is high. Get a cloud-like financial model without the cloud risks. Your storage bill reflects only the storage you use, nothing more. Average costs are around 1/3 of the cost of public cloud or traditional enterprise storage.

    Integration & Compatibility

    Cloudian is built on the AWS S3 API, ensuring compatibility and easy integration with other cloud services and on-premises backup architectures, which is vital for creating a seamless and efficient backup and recovery infrastructure.

    Fast Recovery

    Should the worst happen and you are struck with data loss of a ransomware attack, Quick disaster recovery from Cloudian enables you to roll back in a matter of minutes, typically from any location, provided you have a working Internet connection.
    We wanted a solution that was scalable and could compete with increased data demands. With Cloudian, we no longer have to worry about our storage system impacting our researchers’ ability to collect and analyse data.
