FUTURE TECHNOLOGY driving up performance ,” said Machado . “ It has also given us data protection capabilities that were out of reach before . For example , it used to take 48 hours to back up our key systems – that ’ s dropped to four hours , thanks to Veeam . We used to back up these systems every two days , whereas now we do it every 30 minutes .
“ With Veeam hosted by MGDATA , we cut backup times for key IT systems from 48 hours to four hours and increased backup frequency from every two days to every 30 minutes . As a result , we avoid backups overrunning and affecting performance , and if we need to use them , our backups are much more up to date .”
Using Veeam , Prefeitura de Itaúna encrypts its backups by default , helping the organization meet the requirements of Brazilian data privacy laws .
Moreover , backups are now immutable for a minimum of seven days , providing an extra layer of resilience .
“ LGPD rules now require us to encrypt our backups , so our new Veeam capabilities came at just the right time ,”
Prefeitura de Itaúna teamed up with Veeam partner MGDATA to drive a complete refresh of its IT environment . said Machado . “ With backups that are both encrypted and immutable – we ’ re also much better protected against our data being compromised .”
With a modern and dynamic IT environment , Prefeitura de Itaúna is empowering its employees to better serve the growing population of the city .
Looking to the future , the organization plans to implement Smart City solutions , including rolling out CCTV to enhance public safety . It will use Veeam to protect and back up all CCTV data – equating to several petabytes .
“ My wife was right : Getting a job at Prefeitura de Itaúna was the right choice , even if I had to go through the stress of a ransomware attack ,” said Machado . “ With Veeam and MGDATA at our side , we ’ re mitigating risk and raising service levels – making us excited about what ’ s next .” •
