Data Protection Server: Using Secure Hosting Solutions

Data protection is of paramount importance for the successful operation and development of a business in the era of digital transformation. The growing cyberthreats lead to billions in losses for companies around the world. Legislative requirements for the storage and processing of personal data are becoming increasingly stringent, and the penalties for violating them are becoming higher. Data breaches can cause irreparable damage to a company's reputation, which is especially critical in the era of social media and instant information sharing.

For businesses, data protection also plays a key role in maintaining a competitive advantage. Confidential information about customers, financial performance, research and development results - all of this requires reliable protection. The continuity of business processes directly depends on the safety and availability of data. Protecting intellectual property and trade secrets becomes a matter of survival in a highly competitive environment.

In these conditions, a data protection server becomes an indispensable tool in the arsenal of a modern business. It provides centralized management of information flows, allows the application of comprehensive security measures, and enables quick response to emerging threats. The use of specialized servers allows creating a robust barrier between a company's critical data and potential intruders, while providing convenient access for authorized users.

Technical Requirements for Data Protection Servers

A data protection server is specialized equipment designed for the storage, processing, and protection of a company's confidential information from unauthorized access, leaks, and losses.

To effectively protect data, the server must have certain characteristics. High processor performance, sufficient RAM, and reliable data storage systems are the basic hardware requirements.

No less important is the software:

• Modern antivirus systems with regularly updated databases.
• Next-generation firewalls capable of analyzing traffic at the application level.
• Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS) to identify suspicious activity.
• Data encryption programs that provide protection even in case of physical access to the server.
• Key security settings include:
• Regular software updates and security patch installation.
• Configuring multi-factor authentication for server access.
• Network segmentation to isolate critical data.
• Configuring backup and data recovery systems.

Servers provided by ATLEX fully meet the hardware requirements and are ready for the deployment of data protection systems of any complexity.

Benefits of Renting Servers in ATLEX Data Centers

1. Reliability

   ATLEX data centers provide an impressive Uptime rate of 99.982%, which guarantees virtually uninterrupted access to your data. Compliance with Tier 3 classification by the Uptime Institute means the presence of redundant components and multiple distribution channels for all critical systems.

2. Security

   Security in ATLEX data centers is implemented on several levels. Outdoor and indoor video surveillance systems provide 24/7 monitoring.

3. Scalability

   ATLEX offers flexible scaling options that allow you to adapt your IT infrastructure to the growing needs of your business. We provide two main approaches to scaling:

   • Vertical scaling (Scale-Up): This method involves increasing the power of an existing server by adding or replacing components. At ATLEX, we can quickly improve the characteristics of your server:
     • Increase RAM.
     • Install more powerful processors.
     • Add or replace hard drives with more capacious or faster ones.
     • Update network adapters to increase bandwidth.
   • Horizontal scaling (Scale-Out): This approach implies an increase in the number of servers to distribute the load. ATLEX provides the ability to:
     • Add new servers to your infrastructure.
     • Create server clusters for load balancing.
     • Distribute tasks across multiple physical or virtual machines.

     Thanks to a large stock of additional equipment, ATLEX can quickly implement any scaling scenario. We are ready to quickly increase the power of your server, add new servers to the infrastructure, or expand the communication channel at your request.

     Our experts will help you choose the optimal scaling strategy, taking into account the specifics of your business, current tasks, and growth plans. This ensures cost-effectiveness: you only pay for the resources you really need and can easily adapt your infrastructure to changing business needs.

4. Economic Efficiency

   Renting a server in the ATLEX data center allows you to avoid capital expenditures for creating your own infrastructure.
