WHAT WE DID
Scaling to Petabyte Levels
Bitfy is a provider of data backup and disaster recovery solutions for businesses of all sizes. With a focus on security, reliability, and ease of use, Bitfy offers a comprehensive suite of services to protect valuable data and ensure business continuity in the face of unexpected events.
Outroll manages the infrastructure and operations of Bitfy, ensuring that the platform remains secure, scalable, and efficient. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies and best practices, Outroll has helped Bitfy achieve petabyte scalability and deliver industry-leading disaster recovery solutions to its clients.
Cold Storage Optimization
One of the key challenges faced by Bitfy was optimizing the storage and retrieval of cold data. As the volume of data stored by Bitfy continued to grow, the cost and complexity of managing cold storage became a significant concern. Outroll worked closely with the Bitfy team to implement a cost-effective and efficient cold storage solution that minimized operational overhead and maximized performance. By building custom deduplication and compression algorithms, Outroll was able to reduce the storage footprint of cold data by up to 50%, resulting in significant cost savings for Bitfy and its clients.
A patented fast hashing algorithm
Outroll also developed a patented fast hashing algorithm that significantly reduced the time required to verify data integrity during backup and recovery operations. By optimizing the hashing process, Outroll was able to improve the speed and efficiency of data verification by up to 30%, enabling Bitfy to offer faster backup and recovery times to its clients.
Overcoming slow upload speeds in Australia
Another challenge faced by Bitfy was the slow upload speeds experienced by clients in Australia. To address this issue, Outroll implemented a multi-tiered caching system that accelerated the upload process by up to 50%. By caching frequently accessed data locally and optimizing data transfer protocols, Outroll was able to overcome the limitations of slow upload speeds and provide a seamless backup experience for Bitfy's clients.
Mail-in data transfer service
To further enhance the backup experience for clients with large data volumes, Outroll introduced a mail-in data transfer service that allowed clients to ship physical storage devices directly to Bitfy for data ingestion. By leveraging secure data transfer protocols and encryption techniques, Outroll ensured that client data remained protected throughout the transfer process, providing a convenient and secure solution for clients with limited bandwidth or connectivity issues.
Disaster Recovery Testing
Outroll implemented a smart daemon to test and re-hash data on a regular basis. This daemon would check the integrity of the data and restore it if necessary. This ensured that the data was always available and in a consistent state, ready for recovery in the event of a disaster.
