Enhancing Financial Data Security with StoneFly’s NAS Solution

A leading financial services firm, responsible for managing highly sensitive financial data, faced growing concerns over its outdated storage infrastructure and insufficient data protection. To address these challenges and strengthen data security, the firm implemented StoneFly’s NAS (Network Attached Storage) solution as an on-premises backup system.

StoneFly’s Dual Node Shared Nothing architecture delivered exceptional redundancy and fault tolerance. The deployment featured two clustered NAS appliances, enabling seamless operation even in the event of a system failure. A 24-bay 4U Rackmount NAS acted as the primary backup target, offering scalable capacity that could easily expand to petabytes without requiring major upgrades.

This modernized infrastructure greatly enhanced both data protection and storage efficiency. The clustered NAS configuration ensured continuous uptime and operational resilience, while advanced technologies such as immutable delta-based snapshots and WORM (Write Once Read Many) functionality added powerful layers of security.

  • Delta-based snapshots preserved incremental system states, allowing for quick data recovery and protection against data loss from hardware failures or cyber incidents.

  • WORM technology ensured data integrity by creating tamper-proof storage volumes that prevent unauthorized modifications.

With StoneFly’s NAS solution, the financial firm achieved the high availability, security, and reliability required for its mission-critical operations. The result was a robust, compliant, and future-ready storage environment that fully aligned with the company’s stringent data protection policies.
