CONTACTEER ONS
80% of Belgian companies face a serious computer or server problem each year. Ransomware, a technical breakdown or hacking always comes at the worst possible moment. And even in the cloud, your data isn't 100% protected. The risk of data loss is real. In the worst case scenario, you can only rely on that one Golden Backup to recover your business-critical data. That backup is nowhere safer than with us. We keep your backup tapes in our secure e-bunker and are ready 24/7 to return them if you need them again.

Merak, your last line of defence
Your business-critical data is vital to the continuity of your organisation. So you don't even want to take the slightest risk. Unfortunately, ransomware and hackers are getting smarter. A cyber attack has become almost inevitable. And when things go wrong, sometimes you can only rely on that one Golden Backup. That's why we keep your backup offline and off-site.
The benefits of offline/off-site preservation
We keep your data off the grid. That is, without a connection to the Internet and closed off from all outside influences, which can be harmful to your backups.
Things like electromagnetic waves, lightning strikes, e-bombs or solar storm.
Faraday cage
Built according to Swiss Civil Protection standards for nuclear shelters, this underground vault provides the optimum climate to preserve your magnetic data-carriers.
The complete e-bunker also features a smart fire-extinguishing system with an environmentally friendly gas.
This clever construction prevents harmful electromagnetic waves caused by lightning strikes, e-bombs or solar storms from interfering with or damaging your information carriers. The space is constructed in such a way that no harmful substances from outside can enter at any time.
Sealed cases and own courier service
To ensure anonymity, we store your tapes or backups in waterproof cases. They all look the same, which is a plus for anonymity, only the formats differ. We'll seal them with a unique barcode.
We have our own courier service that is ready 24/7 to discreetly repatriate your backups. Including on Sundays and public holidays and also abroad.
Because ambient temperature is also important for your backups and tapes, we always transport your data carriers in our customised vehicles with built-in climate box.
Professional backup service
Is your server at a remote location or in a data centre? Sending your own IT engineers to change your tapes on-site is a huge cost in terms of money and time. With our Server Room Support formula, our specialists will retrieve your backup tapes themselves, wherever and whenever you want. You don't even have to be here.
Our professional, trained staff will exchange your tapes to ensure the safe transfer of your backup. In addition, you predetermine the frequency at which your backups are performed. We store your backup tapes remotely in the most secure environment. So you do not have to worry about internal coordination either.
Certified partner
Your backups probably also contain confidential information. This information should not end up in the wrong hands.
The anonymous containers ensure that no one can see what backups are in them. The seal guarantees that no one has opened the case after it was picked up from you. And with tracking systems, we know where your case is at any time.
Compliance is an important criterion for many of our customers. That's why we conduct an annual external audit of our internal processes and measures in order to present you with the ISO 27001 certificate for information security.

High-security e-bunker
We store your backup tapes safely and sustainably in an underground safe, built to the strict standards of Swiss Civil Protection. The climate in our secure e-bunker is optimal for storing your server tapes and other magnetic carriers.
Smart Faraday Cage
Your data carriers are kept in an underground vault, which we call the Merak e-bunker. This clever construction prevents harmful electromagnetic waves caused by lightning strikes, e-bombs or solar storms from interfering with or damaging your information carriers.
State-of-the-art firefighting
The entire storage area is also equipped with a smart fire extinguishing system with environmentally friendly gas. If a fire breaks out, we can extinguish it without damaging your tapes or backups.
At Merak, you get the highest quality service for the preservation of your backups.
Cybercriminals don't stand a chance
We'll keep your data off the grid. This means, outside of your own information system, but also without any connection to the Internet.
If your cloud fails, we can still recover your Golden Backup.
Concluding backup system
We will be happy to help you prepare a data recovery plan. Together we look at the risk your IT infrastructure is facing, and then we establish an appropriate and watertight backup schedule.
100% traceability
With our barcode system, you can easily track your backups with our online inventory software. You have complete control.
Regular or sporadic service
Our online formula is the ideal solution for on-demand backup switches.
Would you rather have a fixed exchange schedule?
That is possible.
Our expert will be happy to contact you and assist you with advice.
Customised transportation
Our air-conditioned transport has even more advantages. This ensures that each carrier is delivered to you at the right temperature, so it can be used immediately in the coldest winters or hottest summers.
