At a time when massive companies like the Coca-Colas of the world are getting victimized by ransomware attacks, what chance does a smaller company have against the digital bad guys?

UBX Cloud thinks they deserve that chance, and thanks to a partnership with EverPure, protection is now possible at prices every company can afford.

UBX Cloud has secured an agreement with EverPure (formerly PureStorage) to make its FlashStack platform available, which ensures restoration and recovery of data instantly and absolutely guaranteed in the event of a ransomware attack.

“These are million-dollar storage rays that only a small number of Fortune 500 companies could afford,” said UBX Cloud CEO Steven Panovski. “We’ve been using them since EverPure was a startup. We were their first customer in Michigan, and we’ve got a special relationship with them. So as the product has evolved, we’ve learned how to maximize its use and extend that value to our own customers.”

What makes FlashStack so effective is immutability. The system takes immutable snapshots of the customer’s data, and those snapshots cannot be removed unless two users who know the delete protocols exercise them simultaneously with third-party oversight from EverPure’s team.

There is no way hackers can get these codes.

“The codes are in our heads,” Panovski explained. “The only way to get at the data is to use two nuclear launch keys, and the hackers can’t do that. We have to have two people that are authorized to approve the unlocking and the deletion of that data. So no deep fakes. None of that kind of stuff will fly. And the security protocols are constantly being enhanced.”

FlashStack is powered by Cisco on the networking side and EverPure on the storage side.

And while the product is designed to be utilized through large corporations, UBX Cloud has been able to turn FlashStack into a consumer cloud product – the only cloud provider in both North America and India to do so.

That makes the investment for UBX Cloud customers more affordable than for those working directly with the various hardware and software vendors.

“Even our smallest engagements get the maximum protection FlashStack offers, even if it’s only a single server,” Panovski said. “This is a huge development for small and midsize companies.”
