Manufacturing has been the most ransomware-targeted sector for years running, and downtime on a production line is measured in lost revenue per hour, not per day. Bocada gives your team one system of record for backup, storage and data protection health across every site and division, so recovery works when a threat is actually live.
Backup, storage, and virtualization health across every division and location.
Consolidate data protection monitoring across every plant, site, and business system into one dashboard, regardless of which backup applications each facility already runs
Connect that same dashboard to your virtualizers, storage systems, and ticketing platform, so backup monitoring sits inside one comprehensive view of your data protection operations, not off to the side of it
Normalize data across your entire backup and storage stack, cloud, on-prem, or plant-floor infrastructure, so data backup recency and location are always known
See at a glance which plant, system, or business unit is at risk, instead of learning it from a plant manager after the fact
In practice: a data protection lead sees every plant’s backup status side by side, instead of calling around after a shift change.
Prove compliance and pass every audit
Publicly traded or not, auditors and regulators expect the same thing: a documented, tested data protection and recovery plan you can prove works.
Maintain the audit trail auditors and regulators expect: documented, tested backup and recovery evidence, not a scramble assembled after the fact
Generate compliance and SLA reports automatically, on a recurring schedule, instead of assembling evidence the week an audit is announced
Give your compliance and security teams self-service access to backup evidence, so an audit doesn’t turn into a week of manual data-pulling
In practice: an audit notice goes out and the evidence packet is already scheduled, not assembled that week.
Find unprotected systems that aren’t visible to you
New production lines and vendor-managed systems expand the environment faster than backup policy coordination can track.
Cross-reference your CMDB or asset inventory against actual backup activity to catch systems that were spun up and never added to a backup policy
Extend the same discipline to vendor-managed and plant-floor systems your organization is still accountable for, even when a vendor or integrator manages the infrastructure
Get a documented, audit-ready record of every resource you’ve reviewed and consciously decided not to protect, and why
In practice: a new PLC controller added last month shows up in the audit, instead of surfacing for the first time during an incident.
Automate compliance checks to protect production uptime
Less time spent on manual and repetitive tasks is what makes a response fast enough to protect a production line.
Detect the kind of backup anomaly that signals a potential ransomware attack already at work, automatically, without a person watching every job, since ransomware increasingly targets backups directly, not just production systems
Open, update, and close tickets automatically as issues are found and resolved, so response speed doesn’t depend on someone noticing first
Recover fast enough that an attack doesn’t become a multi-day production shutdown, since manufacturing has little tolerance for downtime measured in anything but minutes
In practice: a ransomware-pattern anomaly on the MES backup opens a ticket the moment it’s detected, not after a shift supervisor calls it in.
Prevent storage from causing recovery gaps or cost overruns
Running out of storage capacity doesn’t just cost money. It’s how a recovery plan fails exactly when a production line needs it most.
Get alerted automatically as a system approaches maximum capacity, so a backup job doesn’t fail simply because there was no space left
Forecast storage needs using AI and your plants’ actual growth patterns, so capacity planning is based on real data, not a guess
Track cost and usage trends across cloud and on-prem storage in one place, so a growing footprint doesn’t become a budget surprise, or the reason a recovery point isn’t there when you need it
In practice: a plant nearing storage capacity gets flagged and expanded weeks before it could have blocked a recovery.
