Software that makes storage recoverable

Storage on its own is just capacity. The software you put in front of it decides whether you can actually recover a lost file, a failed server or a deleted mailbox, and how quickly. We supply archive software for tape-based environments and SaaS backup for the cloud applications your business depends on.

Archive software for tape

SaaS backup with Keepit

Microsoft, Google and Salesforce keep their services running, but under the shared responsibility model protecting your data is your job. Accidental deletion, malicious insiders, ransomware, sync errors and retention gaps can all cause permanent data loss. Keepit gives you an independent, immutable backup of your SaaS data, stored in UK or EU data centres.

Keepit can also protect Azure DevOps, Zendesk, Power Platform and Dynamics 365. Ask us for details or a demo.

What good backup software does

  • Incremental and differential backups: after the first full backup, only changed data is copied, so backups finish quickly and use less storage.
  • Compression and deduplication: reduce the space backups take on disk, tape and cloud.
  • Scheduling and policy automation: backups happen reliably, without anyone having to remember them.
  • Encryption: protects backup data in transit and at rest, including on tapes that leave the building.
  • Immutability: WORM tape, object lock or immutable cloud storage so backups cannot be altered or deleted.
  • Fast, granular restore: recover a single file, email or database record, or a whole system.
  • Reporting and verification: proof that backups completed and can actually be restored.

Working with your existing backup application

The tape drives and libraries we supply are certified with the leading backup applications, including Veeam, Commvault, Veritas NetBackup, IBM Storage Protect, Arcserve, HPE Data Protector and Dell NetWorker. If you are not sure whether your software supports a particular drive or LTO generation, ask us and we will check the compatibility matrix for you.
