Storware

Storware is a Polish globally recognized software developer that is redefining data protection for modern enterprises. The company’s mission is to ensure business continuity and full data availability, regardless of infrastructure complexity. Storware achieves this mission through its flagship solution, Storware Backup and Recovery, a unified platform that offers flexibility, reliability and full control over the backup process. The company’s philosophy, based on the slogan “Freedom of Choice,” guarantees customers freedom of choice and the avoidance of dependence on a single technology ecosystem.

The main pillars of the product offering

The Storware Backup and Recovery platform is a comprehensive, agentless solution that allows you to protect the broadest spectrum of platforms on the market with a single, intuitive console. It eliminates the chaos of managing multiple backup tools and guarantees consistency of protection.

• Protecting Virtual Environments and Containers: This is the foundation of Storware’s offering. The platform provides agentless backup and recovery for more than 20 virtualizers (including KVM, Citrix, oVirt, Proxmox) and container environments (Kubernetes, OpenShift). It enables full and incremental backups, guaranteeing the security of critical workloads.
• Backup Data in the Cloud and Microsoft 365 Applications: Storware comprehensively protects business data stored in the cloud. It offers dedicated backup solutions for Microsoft 365 services, including Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams, protecting them from loss due to failure or attack.
• Workstation and Application Security: The solution allows file-level backup for Windows and Linux (OS Agent) systems. In addition, universal mechanisms enable backup of critical applications and databases, a key component of a comprehensive Disaster Recovery strategy.
• Support for Diverse Storage Providers: In keeping with its “Freedom of Choice” philosophy, Storware integrates with a variety of backup destinations – from local file systems to enterprise solutions (Dell, IBM) to cloud storage (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud).

Development and innovation in the portfolio

From the beginning, Storware has focused on openness and flexibility. Instead of locking users into a single ecosystem, the company has built a platform that excels in versatility and simplicity of management.

At the heart of the architecture is an agentless approach that significantly simplifies system deployment and maintenance, minimizing its impact on the performance of protected environments. Management is via a modern web interface (HTML5), CLI and open APIs (RESTful), allowing for easy automation and integration with external systems. Storware places a strong emphasis on security, offering, among other things, ransomware protection, data encryption, and automated disaster recovery testing to ensure that data is consistent and ready for recovery in any situation.

License levels and components

The Storware Backup and Recovery platform is designed for maximum flexibility, which is reflected in its licensing model.
