The Challenge
Freeletics apps collect and store a large amount of sensitive personal data that must be handled with care. A sophisticated backup strategy is required to ensure comprehensive data protection, including offsite backup copies.
The biggest challenge was to find a cloud storage provider that allowed them to save 35 TB of data within Germany. Furthermore, the initial backup had to be transferred quickly and securely to the data center. For such a large backup, simply transferring via Internet connection was impossible without disrupting everyday business operations.
At first, Freeletics couldn't easily find a cloud storage solution that could meet all their requirements. Still, the startup did not want to make any compromises, especially when it comes to securing business-critical data. They then turned to Synology to handle both data storage and secure cloud backups.
The Solution
In addition to running local backup tasks on a Synology RS4017xs+, they also leveraged Hyper Backup to encrypt and store sensitive data offsite on Synology C2 Backup. With data centers located in Germany and support for AES-256 client-side encryption, Synology's solution was a perfect fit for Freeletics.
