Storware

Storware builds enterprise backup and recovery software for hybrid infrastructure. Its product, the Storware Backup and Recovery Platform, is a single agentless system that protects virtual machines, containers, cloud environments and applications, and supports a wide portfolio of source platforms and backup destinations. The company positions the platform as a way to avoid vendor lock-in, allowing organisations to mix and match hypervisors, cloud providers and storage targets.

The technical scope covers data backup and recovery, virtual machine protection, container backup, cloud data protection and data availability for business continuity. Because the platform is agentless, it operates without in-guest software across the environments it protects. Target sectors include critical infrastructure, enterprise IT, virtualization, cloud infrastructure and containerized environments.

Storware reports more than ten years of experience in the backup industry. The company frames its work against a backdrop of rising risk: it cites a 60% year-over-year increase in cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, and states a mission of helping organisations worldwide reduce the risk of catastrophic data loss and the costs associated with it. Its stated principles are that data protection should be simple, flexible and uncompromising.
