In 2000, a client approached us after experiencing a significant business continuity issue. Their essential financial records could not be recovered because both the primary data and backup disks had become corrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, internet adoption among Australian businesses was accelerating. Many organisations were connecting to the internet through dial-up services and beginning to recognise the importance of digital business systems. However, affordable and reliable online backup solutions were virtually non-existent in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The client asked whether we could develop a secure online backup platform that would eliminate dependence on physical media and provide confidence that critical business data could always be recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recognising an emerging market need, we designed and developed a fully managed online backup platform called SafeAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The solution was engineered using Microsoft’s .NET development framework and designed to operate efficiently over the internet connections available at the time, including dial-up services commonly used by small businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our objective was to create a simple, reliable, and automated service that required minimal user intervention while ensuring business-critical information remained protected at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SafeAs platform delivered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To ensure enterprise-grade availability and security, the platform was hosted within a Tier 4 data centre operated by Macquarie Telecom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several challenges existed during the project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SafeAs was developed well before cloud backup became a standard business service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key differentiators included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SafeAs platform successfully transformed a customer problem into a scalable managed service offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The solution provided businesses with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project demonstrated the potential of internet-based managed services at a time when online infrastructure was still in its infancy and established the foundations for modern cloud backup solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
