ISO 9001

Data Storage Security S.r.l. (DSS) counts on Vaults dedicated exclusively to the “Horatio Secure Cloud” service, in data centers located in highly strategic geographical areas in Italy. The data centers comply with international standards: with ISO 27001:2005 for information security management, and with ISO 9001:2008 for the information management qualities. The DSS guarantees the structures monitoring twenty-four seven in order to offer the highest efficiency and the constant data availability. In order to respond to the operative continuity in case of disaster, the DSS has a center for disaster recovery with direct access to the “Horatio Secure Cloud” service

Horatio Secure Cloud

Horatio makes efficient use of the internet bandwidth used for the backup process through the use of data compression combined with the deduplication incremental mechanism and ensures data security through a 256-bit AES encryption. Horatio uses a dedicated algorithm operating on the HTTP Protocol with SSL encryption in order to ensure the transferring of the data from the source to be protected to the archiving-dedicated structure in an efficient and safe way

DSS has two server farms dedicated to Horatio, the Private Secure Backup Cloud service located in highly strategic geographical areas, in order to ensure continuity of the supplied services. The data centers that house the two server farms are certified facilities which make use of technological systems designed and manufactured in order to drastically reduce energy consumption compared to equivalent traditional systems and, consequently, to contain considerably the CO2 emissions significantly.The main characteristics of the site are:•rooms built in compliance with the anti-earthquake standards in force;•anti-flooding system;• rooms fitted with a floating floor designed to support a maximum load of 1,800 kg/m² and separate lines for data electrical and cabling;•electric feed system completely redundant on two distinct lines;•redundant and dedicated electrical continuity system (Uninterruptible Power Supply systems, one for each of the two feed lines);• auxiliary power supply system (diesel engine driven generator with automatic start);•smoke detection system and fire extinguishing in every room of the building (smoke and fire detectors with activation of the automatic fire extinguishing systems with Argon gas extinguishing room saturation);•Conditioning systems with controlled temperature and humidity;• burglar alarms system (the rooms and entrances are monitored by sensors and volumetric magnetic contact sensors whose signals are remote and analyzed at the local supervision H24);• Access control system through personal badges (detection and authentication for access into the data room);• Possibility to carry out maintenance and repair operations without interrupting the service or reducing possible interruptions to a minimum

Horatio Secure Cloud Backup

The service of remote data protection allows the backup and the data restoration through a dedicated software. The system uses a specific algorithm, operating on the HTTP protocol with an SSL encryption, in order to guarantee the data transfer from the source, which has to be protected, to the DSS Vaults. This method allows the backup system to be a firewall friendly solution, with no need of any specific expedients to cross the firewall barriers. The service makes the use of the bandwidth for the backup process really effective, thanks to special algorithms for data compression and duplication. It guarantees the data filing inside the DSS Vaults through AES and 256 bit encryption.

This is a groundbreaking synchronization service which allows to keep the data in sync between a PC/laptop and an appropriate remote virtual hard disk through the use of a dedicated software, whilst a web application allows the access to and use of the service from any device connected to the internet. Just as Cloud Backup, Cloud Drive is able to work on the most used operating system currently available on the market and it uses AES and 256 bit encryption together with HTTP protocol and CSS encryption to guarantee the transfer and data storage safety from the source, to be synchronized with the DSS Vaults.

Horatio Secure Cloud Drive

The service allows to protect the company LAN transferring the mission-critical systems on the DSS Vaults as a virtual image. This enables you to have, in case of necessity, an operative duplicate of your own IT infrastructure, which can be activated and used directly from remote or at the DSS center for Disaster Recovery.
