Storware and FishOS Unite

Next-Generation Data Protection for OpenStack Cloud Environments

For enterprises and service providers running on OpenStack, comprehensive data protection has often been a complex puzzle. Today, that puzzle is solved. Storware and Sardina Systems have announced a technical alliance to deliver a production-ready, unified platform for complete cloud protection.

The Power of Integration

The FishOS-Storware integration strengthens OpenStack environments by providing comprehensive backup and recovery at both the hypervisor and storage layers. By connecting directly to native OpenStack APIs, the solution eliminates the need for cumbersome agent-based setups.

API-Driven Automation: Seamlessly discover workloads and automate backup schedules without managing individual agents.
Native Ceph Support: Optimized for the most common OpenStack storage backend, ensuring high-performance data transfer.
Multi-Tenant Protection: Specifically designed for large-scale environments with diverse workloads and isolated projects.
Versatile Destinations: Store backups on local filesystems, NFS, S3-compatible object storage, tape, or other clouds.

"In large OpenStack environments, snapshots alone are often not enough. This technical alliance expands capabilities for FishOS users, providing greater fault tolerance and enhanced compliance with recovery requirements." — Kenneth Tan, Executive Director at Sardina Systems
