Data Management & Protection

Backup architecture, SAN/NAS storage, disaster recovery and retention management that keep your data available when systems fail.

Overview

What we deliver

KOTES designs backup architecture and data recovery solutions that ensure business continuity in the event of system failure or data loss, covering both cloud and on-premise backup systems.

We install and manage Storage Area Networks (SAN) and Network Attached Storage (NAS) to enable high-capacity, secure and scalable data access across enterprise networks.

Disk and tape management support ensures data retention policies and compliance standards are met, with restore procedures tested rather than assumed.

Key benefits

  • Tested restores

    Recovery drills prove the backup works before you need it, not during an incident.

  • Defined RPO and RTO

    Backup windows and recovery targets agreed against real business impact, then engineered to.

  • Compliance-ready retention

    Retention schedules and audit records aligned to your regulatory obligations.

  • Scalable capacity

    SAN and NAS platforms that expand without forking the storage estate.

Our process

Every engagement follows the same sequence, so you always know which stage you are in and what the next deliverable is.

  1. Data assessment

    Inventory of systems, data volumes, growth rates and criticality tiers.

  2. RPO/RTO definition

    Agreement on acceptable data loss and downtime for each system tier.

  3. Architecture

    Backup topology, storage sizing and off-site or cloud replication design.

  4. Implementation

    Installation, policy configuration, initial seeding and monitoring setup.

  5. Recovery testing

    Scheduled restore drills with documented results and corrective actions.
