When it comes to managing your business’s critical data, Salesforce is the clear leader, enabling companies to manage customer relationships with ease. Yet, as powerful and reliable as Salesforce is, no system is entirely immune to potential data loss or outages. When you’re relying solely on Salesforce’s default data protection measures and neglect the importance of a self-hosted backup solution, you’re inadvertently navigating treacherous waters without a safety net. 

That’s where CapStorm’s CopyStorm solution comes in.

But you may still be asking yourself, “What is CopyStorm?” Well, here’s your chance to find out.

CopyStorm is Your Problem Solver

Problem #1: Managing Massive Amounts of Sensitive Data  

For one of our customers, the problem is how to manage and anonymize massive amounts of sensitive data on-prem while making it available at high frequency for advanced analytics and machine learning. They need all this, and they need it without a big investment in engineering time on their side.

Problem #2: Leveraging Amazon Redshift Analytics Tools

Another customer faced the challenge of wanting to leverage Amazon Redshift’s powerful analytics tools on their Salesforce data. However, achieving this required a complex and time-consuming process, which lacked schema resiliency. Despite overcoming various roadblocks, the solution would only work temporarily, provided no changes were made to Salesforce objects or fields. But let’s be honest, organizations often make changes to their Salesforce objects or fields.

The Solution: CopyStorm works seamlessly with Amazon Redshift to move your data directly from Salesforce to Redshift, including a schema-resilient approach that will handle changes to metadata as part of its normal process. Maintenance concerns are mitigated, and the data is available to some of the most powerful analytics tools in the industry without the costs and hassle of additional ETL. The data is already where they need it. Again, the data is available in 3-5 minute replication windows.

Now, it’s time to tackle another problem.
