Security and Swedish data hosting were decisive - why Sitevision chose Elastx for its AI initiative
When Sitevision set out to integrate AI into its platform, the requirements were crystal clear: the same level of security, control, and regulatory compliance as the rest of its offering. That immediately ruled out many alternatives and made the choice of Elastx a key factor. - Security, Swedish data hosting, and the fact that they truly understand our requirements were absolutely decisive in our choice. For us at Sitevision, using a third party in, for example, the United States is simply not an option. Our customers need to know that their data stays where it belongs and is not used to train external models. That’s where Elastx was a perfect match, says Alexander Gustafsson, Senior Solution Architect and Head of Presales at Sitevision.

DDoS protection now included
Organized crime groups, driven by profit and power, have recognized the immense potential of cybercrime. By leveraging their resources, expertise, and global reach, these groups have turned to DDoS attacks as one of the strategic tools to achieve their objectives. A single DDoS attack can cripple a website or network, rendering it inaccessible to legitimate users. Businesses lose revenue, customer confidence plummets, and reputations are tarnished, all at the hands of malicious actors operating in the shadows.

Elastx sets the standard for green cloud providers

Why financial institutions are turning to Swedish cloud providers
The past few years have been marked by numerous significant events, including a severe global pandemic, war in Europe, and disruptions to production and logistics chains that have led to inflation.

Why the financial industry needs redundancy
It is clear that relying on a single data center is not sufficient. If the data center experiences downtime or a complete failure, it will significantly impact your business operations. Having two data centers may seem like a more secure solution, but there is still a risk of a single point of failure if one center has to take over for the other.

No more having to manually wade through service providers web GUIs, no more repetition of thousands of commands, but just one, source repository, which can be reused time and time again.

Elastx is now integrated with Backup Ninja to automate your opensource database backups easily
Backup management includes the activities of creating, deleting, storing, restoring, and monitoring of the backup process. It is an essential component of any disaster recovery strategy. Although it is vital to have backup management, it can be a tedious, time-consuming, and expensive process. Having to take daily backups with constant monitoring (to ensure the backups are in a usable state) often requires a dedicated technical resource to manage it effectively. Without periodic checks, backups may be obsolete or invalid, which will slow down the recovery process if disaster strikes. Backup and recovery at the database level is even more challenging, as it requires complex scripts to handle the backup of the individual storage engine. Automated backup management services offer a wide range of features to automate the backup and restoration task for databases, files, and directories and effortlessly store them securely either locally or on the cloud. Automated backup management is ideal for resolving the setbacks of manual backup management.

Backups in OpenStack cloud
I have worked a lot with backups over the years and one thing I have learned is that managing a traditional backup solution often takes too much time, consumes too much resources and costs too much. But what about backups in a cloud environment? I still have important data and a lot of servers that need to be up and running. True, but if you do it right from the beginning you can take a fundamentally different approach to data protection and like many other things in the cloud it is a huge improvement. These are my general rules that I will describe more in details.
