Overview02
Chapter 01 · Overview

A firm where downtime is not an option.

Studio Alberti is an accounting agency based in Brescia, Italy. With 30 accountants, it serves the needs of more than 400 clients, working to strict deadlines for the government-required documents and information it must submit to the Revenue Agency.

The firm cannot afford to lose any data. If a client's financial information is not available before the regulatory submission date, the firm risks a fine amounting to 10% of that client's revenue. The IT infrastructure simply cannot be down before tax and income deadlines, because there are no legal provisions for late monthly tax returns or quarterly VAT declarations.

Hard government deadlines

Documents and information must reach the Revenue Agency on time; there are no legal provisions for late monthly tax returns or quarterly VAT declarations.

Zero tolerance for data loss

Every client's financial information must stay safe and available; missing data before a submission date exposes the firm to a fine of 10% of that client's revenue.

Fast recovery required

After any downtime incident — a malware infection or an infrastructure fault — the firm needed to be operational again in less than one hour.

HYPERSeries 3100 with built-in Disaster Recovery.

Studio Alberti deployed a Syneto HYPERSeries 3100 all-in-one hyperconverged infrastructure with built-in Disaster Recovery. The new platform ensures complete data protection with consistent backups and the availability needed to meet every government deadline.

The HYPERSeries 3100 runs the firm's four core applications — the main accounting software, the payment and taxes software, the Revenue Agency proprietary software, and the e-mail server — and comfortably handles the needs of its 30 constant users.

All-in-one hyperconvergence

Compute, storage and data protection consolidated in a single HYPERSeries 3100 appliance running all four business-critical applications.

Complete data protection

Consistent backups keep every client's financial information safe and available ahead of regulatory submission dates.

Built-in Disaster Recovery

All data is replicated to a dedicated Disaster Recovery unit, so the entire infrastructure can be restarted after any downtime incident.

Recovery in minutes

In the event of a malware attack, data can be recovered and the infrastructure restarted in just 15 minutes — well inside the sub-one-hour target.

Chapter 03 · Outcomes

Proven in a real ransomware attack.

Two months after installation, the platform was put to the test by a real Cryptolocker attack — right before a tax return submission for several clients. Applications and data were recovered in just 15 minutes, the deadline was met, and the firm avoided the fine entirely.

We were hit by a Cryptolocker attack two months after installing the Syneto HYPERSeries. This was right before we had a tax return submission for a number of customers and we risked having to pay a huge fine if we missed the deadline. With Syneto, we managed to recover the applications and data in just 15 minutes.Guido Alberti — Owner, Studio Alberti
