Making Cloud and SaaS Work for Your Organization
Rabata’s guidance focuses solely on Public Cloud and software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions. If you’re running your own data centers, or using infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) or platform-as-a-service (PaaS) beyond the Public Cloud environment, this isn’t your stop.
Legal Considerations Before You Commit
Before signing any cloud or SaaS deal, get cozy with your legal advisors and Data Protection Officer. It’s not just paperwork - you must be sure that the vendor isn’t obligated to hand over government data in ways that clash with UK laws or government rules (NCSC Cloud Principle 2.1). Nobody wants surprises from overseas legal grey areas.
If your cloud supplier lives outside the UK, you need to check whether their home country’s laws align with UK data protection. If they don’t match up, it’s not an automatic no-sometimes contracts can fill in those gaps. Either way, this step is crucial before moving forward.
Data Protection Outside the UK: What to Keep in Mind
When your data wanders beyond UK borders, you have to stick to data protection laws like glue. Rabata strongly recommends consulting the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) guidance on international data transfers and checking in with your legal team to understand the nuances for your data flows.
Here’s a neat shortcut: UK adequacy regulations cover transfers to EU countries, EFTA members, and a handful of other spots. If your data transfer lands within those black-and-white zones, you can skip the Transfer Risk Assessment. A small relief in a world full of red tape.
Security Practices Tailored for the Cloud Era
Your organization should already have solid security policies guarding your data, especially when it’s at rest and shielded with encryption. Don’t forget: physical access to infrastructure matters too. Rabata knows that if someone sneaks into a data center, encryption is your best bodyguard (NCSC Cloud Principle 2.3).
Government departments must meet or exceed security standards from the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework, which includes strict data security criteria under Principle B3. Rabata’s experience shows that aiming for these top-tier standards keeps critical systems safe in the wild west of the web.
Because Public Cloud isn’t your dusty old server room, your security policies need a cloud-first or cloud-native mindset. Rabata reminds you to lean on the compliance features cloud providers offer - it’s like getting a free security upgrade baked into your environment.
Choosing the Right Data Location: UK or Beyond?
Once your legal, data protection, and security ducks are in a row, it’s time to decide where to stash your data. If your users live mostly in the UK, keeping data local makes sense - lower latency and a proper British cup of tea kind of convenience. But don’t overlook overseas regions. They might offer better performance, lower costs, or other sweet perks.
Practical Use Cases for Rabata's Secure Cloud Storage
Seamless Failover When Regional Traffic Hits a Snag
Imagine a sudden hiccup in your region’s network traffic. With Rabata’s take on Amazon S3 Multi-Region Access Points failover controls, you’re not stuck twiddling your thumbs waiting for recovery. Instead, you get to reroute your S3 data requests to another AWS Region in mere minutes. This isn’t just smart-it’s lightning-fast, keeping your apps available and your users happy.
By configuring S3 Multi-Region Access Points in an active-passive setup, Rabata lets you switch traffic smoothly when trouble strikes. It's like having a reliable standby driver ready to take the wheel the moment the main one runs into traffic-except this driver never tires.
On-Demand Testing for Resilience and Disaster Recovery
How confident are you that your app can handle a sudden regional traffic disruption? Rabata helps you find out without breaking a sweat. You can test your application’s resilience by shifting S3 data traffic from an active to a passive AWS Region whenever you want, all within minutes.
This capability is perfect for running disaster recovery drills or simulating failure scenarios. You don’t have to wait for the real crisis to test your defenses; Rabata puts you in control to practice and perfect your response ahead of time.
Simplify S3 Connections Outside Virtual Private Clouds
Not all clients live inside a VPC-and that’s okay. Whether you’re dealing with public EC2 instances, EC2s using Internet Gateways, or on-premises setups, Rabata’s Multi-Region Access Point streamlines your connection to S3. It routes requests over the AWS Global Network, bypassing the public internet and reducing latency by connecting directly within the closest AWS Region.
What does this mean in practical terms? Fewer network detours, faster responses, and a simpler architecture. Consider it Rabata’s way of cutting through the noise and traffic jams so your data travels the quickest, most secure route possible.
What You Need to Know About Multi-Region Storage
Multi-region storage is a powerful feature, but it comes with some specific limitations you should keep in mind. For starters, if you’re working within FedRAMP environments, forget about multi-region storage - it’s simply off the table.
This storage option is available across several regions worldwide, with more on the way. However, if your business operates in the UAE, you’re out of luck for now. And don’t even think about China, Taiwan, or Hong Kong - local data sovereignty laws keep multi-region storage from being supported there.
Here’s a catch: you can’t mix and match multi-region storage with custom storage solutions or your own AWS KMS keys. It’s either one or the other - think of them as exclusive dance partners that won’t share the floor.
Interestingly, only the actual files are stored in the selected regions. All the behind-the-scenes interaction metadata stays put in the hosted region, keeping things organized and easy to track.
When you request files from long-term storage, CXone Mpower doesn’t waste time guessing. It searches across all your regions simultaneously, making sure you get what you need as fast as possible.
If you’re using Secure External Access (SEA) with multi-region storage, you’ll need a separate SEA bucket for each region. It’s like having multiple keys for different doors - not complicated, just efficient.
Downloading or playing back files? No problem. That access is always through the hosted region, streamlining your experience.
Here’s a ‘hands-off’ rule you’ll want to remember: once files land in a region, they aren’t moving anywhere else. No cross-region file shuffling after storage.
Multi-region storage rules don’t discriminate by file type. Set a rule, and it covers all applicable interactions, no matter the file format.
Now, what happens if an AWS server decides to take a nap? For CXone Mpower, it means a slight shift in how files are handled. If a secondary region becomes unavailable, files automatically get stored in your default region. Should that be unavailable as well, everything falls back to the hosted region. It’s redundancy with a safety net.
- Cannot update active multi-region storage rules once set.
- Up to 10 active multi-region storage rules can run at the same time.
- Disabling multi-region storage requires deactivating all active rules first.

Case Study
How the Boston Red Sox Hit a Home Run with Cloud Innovation
Imagine Fenway Park equipped with over 50 high-speed cameras capturing every pitch, swing, and catch. Each game produces terabytes of data, a treasure trove for analysis and fan engagement. Add to that an archive stretching back 123 years, and you have a mountain of historic content demanding serious storage muscle.
Storing and managing this massive influx of video and data isn’t just a technical challenge - it’s an economic one. That’s where Rabata’s secure cloud storage steps in, giving the Red Sox the freedom to scale their content library without breaking the budget.
Brian Shield, the team’s CTO, sums it up perfectly: “The economics of Wasabi allow us to expand the range of content we can consume and analyze, helping us make smarter, faster decisions on and off the field. Plus, we plan to use Wasabi for long-term storage of raw video footage, which is pure gold for future advanced video analytics and machine learning projects.”
