SCSK Introduces Advanced On-Premises Backup Solution with USiZE

SCSK Corporation, headquartered in Koto, Tokyo, has unveiled its latest offering: the On-Premise Backup service integrated with its domestic private cloud solution, USiZE. Scheduled for launch on June 30, 2026, this service aims to provide robust backup solutions that are resilient against ransomware attacks and other data loss threats.

1. Ransomware: A Growing Threat to Data Integrity

In recent years, ransomware has increasingly targeted not only operational data but also backup data itself. Such attacks can render existing backups useless, leading to prolonged downtimes and significant disruptions to business operations. Alongside these technical challenges, there are also heightened regulatory and compliance expectations regarding where and how data is stored. It is essential for organizations to secure their data while maintaining sovereignty over it. Given these challenges, SCSK has expanded its existing ransomware-safety services to cover on-premises environments, responding to customer demands for similar levels of protection on-site as they receive in cloud environments.

2. Comprehensive Features of the Service

The On-Premise Backup service leverages Rubrik Japan's virtual appliance, which is recognized for its strong ransomware countermeasures. This partnership enables SCSK to offer an infrastructure that safeguards critical on-premises data through a dual-storage strategy, protecting against data loss due to ransomware attacks, user error, and system failures.

Key Features Include:

• - Immutable Backup for Enhanced Data Protection

This feature prevents alterations or deletions of backup data, supporting a strong defense against the implications of ransomware attacks. Optional breach detection functionalities are also available for further security.

• - Decentralized Storage with Data Sovereignty

By dispersing backup data between on-premises environments and the USiZE cloud, the service ensures continuity of data protection, even in the event of localized threats or failures. Additionally, this setup maintains data management within Japan, aligning with strict data sovereignty requirements for sensitive information.

• - Seamless Integration with USiZE

The USiZE infrastructure means no new hardware purchases are necessary—clients can simply integrate the backup service into their existing setups. Monthly subscription models are available, simplifying budgeting and resource allocation.

• - Flexible Data Restoration Options

The service offers various restoration methods at the file level, enabling clients to recover data effectively according to their specific circumstances and operational needs.

3. Pricing and Availability

4. USiZE: A Solution You Can Rely On

USiZE is SCSK's proprietary private cloud service, ensuring high security and stable operations from data centers located in Japan. It serves a wide array of industries, functioning as a fundamental IT infrastructure for businesses.

By utilizing USiZE as the backbone for backup storage, the new service successfully integrates on-premises and cloud environments to establish a distributed backup framework.
