Executive SummaryYNEXIS Group, a Morocco-based investment and real estate management firm, successfully implemented SpinBackup Enterprise to address critical data protection challenges in a rapidly evolving but infrastructure-constrained region. The solution provides comprehensive backup, ransomware prevention, and archiving capabilities while delivering the speed, intuitive user experience, and cost-effectiveness that local alternatives couldn’t match.About YNEXIS GroupYNEXIS Group operates across multiple verticals including venture capital, real estate investing, and property management in Morocco. As a technology-forward organization in Casablanca—one of Africa’s key regional headquarters hubs—YNEXIS serves as a prime example for how organizations can advance their own cloud security and minimize risk amid rapid technology and business growth across the African continent.Morocco Is a Strategic Tech HubCasablanca hosts regional headquarters for major companies operating across Africa, making it a strategic location for solutions serving the African market. One regional headquarters in Morocco can potentially serve 20-25 countries across the continent. Morocco’s position as the safest country in Africa, located just two hours from Paris and two and a half hours from London, makes it an attractive location for companies establishing African operations. This makes business continuity even more imperative for YNEXIS Group.The ChallengeRegional Infrastructure and Market ConstraintsWhile business in Morocco is booming, the regional cloud ecosystem is still very young, with only a handful of tier-three data centers available to meet the needs of local organizations. Organizations looking for bigger cloud storage providers often look to European providers, who have challenges of their own. The currency exchange is far from ideal, resulting in additional fees and costs for businesses.Together, these challenges create significant obstacles for organizations seeking reliable cloud backup solutions.Adil Larakil, Chief Information Officer at YNEXIS, explained the dilemma: “We have just two choices: go with the local market and the data centers here, or go with the European market with big scalers like Azure, which costs a lot.”YNEXIS faced several critical pain points:Limited Local Options: Local data centers are expensive and lack the user experience and intuitive interfaces available from more mature markets. The technology gap between Morocco and more developed markets creates challenges in finding solutions that meet modern expectations.Currency and Payment Complications: Trading in powerful currencies like dollars and euros presents significant obstacles, as Morocco’s government restricts certain currency transactions, and hyperscalers sometimes charge different pricing due to payment complexities.Cost Pressures: The cost of data and internet connectivity in Africa, combined with limited local data center options, creates expensive backup scenarios. This makes it even more challenging to consider what other solutions may consider add-on features, like ransomware detection and response.Cybersecurity ImperativesBeyond infrastructure challenges, YNEXIS needed robust protection against an increasing threat landscape, and they prioritize ransomware prevention and backup as critical defensive measures in this effort.“With SpinBackup we can now sleep at night, knowing we have reliable backups and automated ransomware detection and response for our Microsoft 365 environment,” explained Larakil. The Technology GapMorocco faces an approximately 15-year technology lag behind the United States, with local organizations still developing the user experience standards common in mature markets. This gap makes finding modern, intuitive solutions particularly challenging for forward-thinking organizations ready to grow and scale in global markets.The SolutionWhy SpinBackup Enterprise?YNEXIS implemented SpinBackup Enterprise, selecting the platform for its unique combination of enterprise-grade security and recovery capabilities, budget-friendly packaging, and user experience.
