Ensuring Cloud Data Protection During Natural Disasters

In recent years, Japan has seen an alarming increase in natural disasters, ranging from earthquakes to severe flooding. In recognition of these challenges, Riplus Corporation has launched a special consultation desk for cloud data protection starting August 2026. This initiative focuses on supporting companies in preserving their critical data and enhancing their Business Continuity Planning (BCP) strategies in the face of unpredictable disasters.

As we express our condolences to those affected by recent earthquakes in Kumamoto and flooding in Chiba, it has become increasingly clear that no location is immune to the risk of unforeseen disasters. Many areas that previously recorded minimal natural disaster activity now face the threat of localized heavy rain and typhoons. Such events can lead to flooding in offices and stores, severely damaging IT equipment like computers and servers.

While businesses strive to back up their essential data, a concerning trend is emerging: many companies store backup drives right next to their main server. This practice—keeping backups at the same physical location—creates a significant risk. In the event of flooding, power surges from lightning strikes, or other catastrophes, both the main and the backup data can be lost simultaneously.

The implications of losing crucial data such as customer information, financial records, and design documents cannot be overstated. Re-establishing operations after such losses is daunting, requiring extensive time, financial resources, and risking reputational damage. The recent series of disasters highlights that these risks are no longer distant issues for companies across Japan; they are immediate concerns.

The Solution: Robust Data Protection with Cloud Storage TENMA

To safeguard against these natural disaster risks, Riplus provides cloud storage solutions tailored for corporate clients. Their platform, TENMA, significantly strengthens BCP efforts by promoting secure, remote data storage that does not depend on the physical presence of devices or office locations.

1. Access from Anywhere to Ensure Business Continuity

Even in emergencies when accessing offices is impossible, employees can retrieve essential data from alternate locations or homes if they have internet access. This capability helps prevent complete shutdowns during crises.

2. Protection Against Ransomware and Cyber Attacks

TENMA also serves as a defense mechanism against cyber threats such as ransomware, which has become increasingly prevalent. Its advanced security features facilitate recovery from safe data points, ensuring companies can get back on track swiftly.

Advocating for the 3-2-1 Backup Rule

Through this special consultation service, Riplus emphasizes the adoption of the globally-accepted 3-2-1 backup strategy, which advocates:

• - Three copies of data: one original and two backups
• - Two different types of media for storage (e.g., a computer and a NAS)
• - One copy stored offsite, such as in the cloud

By integrating on-site NAS systems with the 'TENMA' cloud storage, companies can effortlessly establish this vital backup framework.

Overview of the Special Consultation Desk

The newly launched consultation desk will support businesses affected by recent disasters and facilitate development of reliable backup systems for future natural catastrophes. The desk offers comprehensive assistance, including:

• - Emergency Recovery: Consultancy for urgent recovery from flooded or damaged servers, NAS, external hard drives, SSDs, and computers.
• - Environmental Assessment: Free diagnostic evaluations of current data storage procedures to identify disaster risks.
• - System Implementation Guidance: Consulting services to create robust backup environments via TENMA.
• - Operational Support: Guidance on automating and formulating operational rules compliant with the 3-2-1 backup strategy.

As natural disasters can strike without warning, Riplus is committed to providing reassurance to businesses that, as long as data remains safe, recovery is always possible. Our dedicated team stands ready to assist companies with concerns regarding their current backup systems or urgent issues requiring immediate attention.
