Interview with Mélanie Biberian for Le Point : Beemo Technologie, minimising data recovery time in the event of a disaster

Melanie Biberian pour Le Point

Because no-one is immune from a disaster or malicious act that could bring their business activities to a standstill, Beemo Technologie offers a reliable solution to minimise the time needed to restore backed up data in the event of loss, so that you can resume your business immediately.

Founded in 2002 by Gabriel Biberian and managed by his sister Mélanie, Beemo Technologie has come to meet the need for data backup, which until then had existed mainly for large companies. « The initial idea was to democratise for VSEs and SMEs solutions that were then intended only for large accounts and offered only by major american publishers », points out Mélanie Biberian.

With this in mind, a distribution network aimed at companies that have an IT service provider has been launched to help solve their internal problems, including data backup. « In 2008, the Paris Chamber of Notaries was looking for a reliable backup solution for the IT data of all the notaries in the Île-de-France region, and we seized this opportunity, continues the Chairwoman. Today, we have 150 active partners at Beemo Technologie to cover the entire French market. »

Intensive digitisation

The increasing use of paperless systems in all areas of the business raises the issue of how to properly store this data, which is often confidential and all the more vulnerable because the company’s entire brain now resides in the IT system. In addition to unpredictable disasters such as floods or fires, internal malicious acts are a reality, as are cyber-threats involving ransomware. « For data back up to be truly effective, it must always be nearby in the event of a handling error and also outside the premises, so that data can be restored in the event of a major incident within the company, she explains. This has to be automated so that no-one can manipulate them, and controlled by a supervision service to check that everything is running smoothly. »

Beemo Technologie offers backup on a box within the company itself, which will capture data from the local network of computers, servers and mobile workstations (those of sales representatives or teleworking employees), in order to centralise them on the box so as to have a complete copy. Several versions are kept in case of an attack, so that the box can be traced back in time. This data is transferred to the two French data centers in Marseille and Lyon, or to another box at a second site chosen by the customer.

The solution for VSEs and SMEs

This backup solution is designed to meet the needs of VSEs, SMEs and large SMEs with IT departments, offering the box, the software and the supervision of these backups. « As data backup solutions are a sensitive and important issue, we are making sure that our partners and IT Departments who install, configure and deploy the backup solutions are properly certified, continues the Chairwoman. Our e-learning service will provide them with training, and we’ll support them with installation, configuration and customer care. What’s more, our backup solutions meet the specifications of cyber insurance companies, which require backups to be outsourced, unalterable and disconnected. »
