Enter Varma backs up your organisation’s relevant information and ensures continuity of operations even in serious crisis situations. The service measures range comprehensively from critical workstations and production-controlling systems all the way to cloud-based data centre continuity solutions.
The key areas of the service are the continuity of data, workstations and operations. Key functions include continuous monitoring and regular tests with crisis drills, agreed individually for each customer.
Data continuity
The Enter Varma service can be used to back up and restore data contained in Microsoft M365 cloud services, such as SharePoint, Teams and OneDrive. M365 itself does not include data backup. The customer must take care of this separately.
In addition to cloud services, Enter Varma can also back up and restore local and cloud workstations and servers with their data. The backup is made according to your organisation’s needs in your own local environment, a third-party data centre or a cloud service.
Workstation continuity
In terms of the organisation’s operations, necessary devices include the computers that control the production, and any customised power workstations used by software developers, CAD designers or graphic artists.
An automated backup can be made daily of particularly critical workstations and the information, software and settings they contain. With Enter Varma, faulty systems can be restored to production use very quickly.
As a safeguard against hardware failures, your organisation can have a certain number of backup workstations, which are regularly updated with up-to-date software and settings. This way you can put the new, replacement workstation into use immediately.
Operations continuity
If necessary, the Enter Varma service can be used to mirror a physical or virtual backup system from your organisation’s entire data centre and IT system environment. This redundancy ensures the continuous availability of services critical to your operations – for example, in the event of a fire or other similar major disaster. An Enter Varma Disaster Recovery solution is always designed according to your individual needs.

City of Porvoo
Porvoo school services took identity management to a new level
The City of Porvoo’s bilingual educational service has been a pioneer of the Ruutuvihko service in many ways. Approximately five years ago, Porvoo was the first locality in Finland to deploy the Ruutuvihko system, at a time when user and group objects were created from the Primus database. Tailoring the system into a working whole has required many modifications and bold experiments. At present, all of the various modules in Ruutuvihko are being used, some of which are unique, such as the feature that reduces waste food.
Pohjois-Haaga co-educational school
Automatic synchronisation of pupil data supports everyday life at Pohjois-Haaga co-educational school
Some two years ago, the Pohjois-Haaga co-educational school, PHYK, found itself in a situation where the private school’s pupil administration software had to be revamped quickly. The school looked for a suitable party to do the job, and Enter was chosen based on its expertise. The Ruutuvihko application was commissioned at the school to automatically synchronise pupil data. Ruutuvihko enables the easy creation of user accounts in cloud services and the groups specified in Primus for Microsoft Teams and Google Classroom.

French–Finnish School of Helsinki
Heroes of the school world moved to distance learning with agility
Le Lycée franco-finlandais d’Helsinki – the French–Finnish School of Helsinki – chose a solution implemented by Enter when they wished to automate the data processing at the school. The value of the Ruutuvihko application and the O365 platform was put to the test in spring 2020, with schoolwork quickly becoming distance learning under the unprecedented circumstances.
