The geographic distribution provides a higher degree of data reliability and availability in the event of a cyberattack because it keeps backup data available even if a breach compromises one of the data centers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"perfect-pullquote vcard pullquote-align-full pullquote-border-placement-left\"><blockquote><p>\u201cGeographically dispersed backup is a requirement in the cybersecurity world,\u201d - Chris Rose, a partner at Ariento.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n<p>Fine-tuned control over backup processes was also a priority for Ariento. The company wanted to be able to specify, at a granular level, exactly when backups occurred, how long data would be retained, while managing access control policies for data backups.<\/p>\n<h2>Tedious Custom Backup Scripts<\/h2>\n<p id=\"last\">After experimenting with a few vendors\u2019 backup solutions, Ariento discovered that they lacked the deep level of control that the company required to keep its customers\u2019 data secure.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slidebox\"><!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper hs-cta-deferred\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-3fa560b5-1fa5-4465-b1b9-1bd53e21d2aa\" data-portal=\"5442029\" data-id=\"3fa560b5-1fa5-4465-b1b9-1bd53e21d2aa\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-3fa560b5-1fa5-4465-b1b9-1bd53e21d2aa\" id=\"hs-cta-3fa560b5-1fa5-4465-b1b9-1bd53e21d2aa\"><!--[if lte IE 8]><div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div><![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/5442029\/3fa560b5-1fa5-4465-b1b9-1bd53e21d2aa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" id=\"hs-cta-img-3fa560b5-1fa5-4465-b1b9-1bd53e21d2aa\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/5442029\/3fa560b5-1fa5-4465-b1b9-1bd53e21d2aa.png\" alt=\"CTA\"><\/a><\/span><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><\/div>\n<p>As a result, the company wrote its own backup scripts to integrate directly with data storage services based in the public cloud, such as AWS. This provided the control that Ariento needed, but maintaining custom backup scripts was a lot of work.<\/p>\n<h2>Maximizing Control and Security with MSP360<\/h2>\n<p>After relying on the custom backup scripts for some time, the company found a better solution in MSP360. Because MSP360 integrates directly with AWS, as well as more than thirty other cloud storage providers, it allows Ariento\u2019s team to leverage all of the granular configuration features offered by AWS. Ariento\u2019s engineers can take advantage of different pricing options for AWS\u2019s various data storage tiers, configure granular access control using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/blog\/aws-iam-policy\/\">IAM policies<\/a>, control how long data is retained and much more. And they can do all of this without having to write and maintain their own custom backup scripts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"perfect-pullquote vcard pullquote-align-full pullquote-border-placement-left\"><blockquote><p>\"The company was looking for a backup solution that would meet our security standards while giving us control over the storage.\u201d Chris Rose on why Ariento chose MSP360.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n<h2>Expanding MSP Opportunities<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to providing Ariento with the level of control and security it needed to back up its customers\u2019 data effectively, MSP360 has also helped the company expand its portfolio of managed IT services for small businesses.<\/p>\n<div class=\"perfect-pullquote vcard pullquote-align-full pullquote-border-placement-left\"><blockquote><p>\u201cWith the help of MSP360 backup solution, we\u2019ve launched an entirely new product brand targeted at small business owners and sole proprietors.
