Matthijssen: Minimizing Downtime with Quick Data Recovery

As the prevalence of data breaches continues to grow, businesses of all sizes are recognizing the importance of taking a proactive stance in the areas of data defense and business continuity. The days of simply installing some software and maintaining subscriptions are in the past. Today, companies demand that virus and crypto defenses, as well as data recovery and business continuity plans be implemented, monitored, managed, and even tested for compliance requirements. “Disaster recovery backups have now become commonplace, and companies need to ensure that they can protect themselves to the best of their ability from a budgetary perspective,” says John Solano, Chief Engineer at Matthijssen. Matthijssen, a family-owned business for six decades, has made it their mission statement to find and implement comprehensive disaster management solutions within the scope and budget of its client’s requirements. Beginning with a comprehensive assessment, Matthijssen focuses on critical business workflows to identify where IT equipment and software is most vulnerable and works alongside companies to ensure these areas are bolstered and protected with fault-tolerance and redundancies. Should disaster strike, Matthijssen is then able to step in to recover/ restore data and business resources virtually seamlessly.

Matthijssen has long held that the best defenses are those which are multi-layered and are implemented and monitored within the framework of their managed services. SOPHOS, a Gartner rated company, is one vendor in particular with which Matthijssen has partnered to build robust, layered defense systems leveraging their numerous products to achieve this goal. Data/Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity implementations feature industry compliant equipment and software that adhere to businesses’ specific retention needs while providing security through encryption, co-location (cloud) and access control.
