Cloud Storage, Backup and Disaster Recovery for SMEs, MSPs and Regulated Organisations
Enterprise storage design, backup strategy and disaster recovery from Manchester. Compliance-aligned data management for organisations handling sensitive data. Serving MSPs, NHS Trusts, public sector bodies and SMEs across Somerset, Dorset and the South West.
Storage and backup done properly
Most organisations discover their backup strategy has a problem at the worst possible moment — during a ransomware incident, a hardware failure or a data loss event. By then, the choices are limited and expensive.
Mistla designs and manages storage and backup infrastructure that works when you need it — with verified recovery integrity, documented retention policies and tested restore procedures confirmed to work before there's an emergency.
Storage Design
Assessment of current architecture and design of a target environment suited to your workload, performance, growth and compliance requirements. SAN, NAS, object storage and cloud-native platforms.
Backup Strategy
Design and implementation meeting your RTO and RPO objectives. 3-2-1 backup methodology as a minimum baseline. Immutable backup storage for ransomware resilience.
Cloud Backup
Backup of on-premise and cloud workloads to UK-hosted cloud storage. Automated scheduling, Netminder monitoring and regular recovery tests to verify integrity.
Disaster Recovery
Documented DR runbooks with tested RTO and RPO targets. Failover procedures tested and verified before you need them. DR documentation provided as governance evidence for regulated clients.
Data Lifecycle Management
Retention policy design, data classification, archiving and secure deletion aligned to your regulatory obligations. Particularly relevant for NHS and public sector clients with defined data retention requirements.
Storage Monitoring
Capacity trending, performance monitoring and health alerting through Netminder. Capacity warnings before you hit limits, not after.
For regulated organisations
Data storage and backup in regulated environments requires documented controls, defined retention policies and evidence of regular testing. Mistla's storage services are aligned to NHS data governance requirements, the Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) and GovAssure. We provide the documentation and audit evidence that information governance teams require.
All storage can be hosted on UK-sovereign infrastructure through MC2, Mistla's proprietary IaaS platform, meeting NHS, public sector and Crown Commercial Service data residency requirements.
Mistla is available through G-Cloud and Crown Commercial Service frameworks.
