NEW CASTLE, Del. – February 11, 2025 — / BackupReview.info / — StorPool Storage, leaders in next-generation primary data storage software solutions, today introduced the first-ever Disaster Recovery Engine for KVM-based cloud infrastructure that empowers IT service providers and enterprises to recover virtual machines in minutes whenever disaster strikes.
A first-of-its-kind solution, the StorPool Disaster Recovery Engine (DRE) simplifies the configuration and execution of disaster recovery (DR) services for virtual machines (VM) in cloud infrastructure built using the Linux KVM hypervisor and the StorPool Storage platform. The StorPool DRE can protect environments with tens to thousands of VMs. It simplifies disaster recovery scenarios like 1:1, many to 1, many to many, and delivers industry-leading recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO) of virtual machines in disaster scenarios, to ensure uninterrupted business operations.
This new capability makes StorPool Storage the first-ever software-defined primary data storage platform with built-in DR capabilities for KVM-based clouds. StorPool’s Disaster Recovery Engine helps companies minimize data-at-risk and downtime, while automating VM failover and failback in disaster scenarios. This eliminates the need for customers to use a myriad of products from different vendors to perform backup and DR for business continuity purposes.
Until now, functionality like this has been available in other ecosystems (e.g. VMware by Broadcom), but implementing it for KVM-based clouds has been too complicated and costly, limiting the adoption of the KVM hypervisor. StorPool Storage is fully integrated with the most widely used KVM Cloud Management Platforms – CloudStack, OpenNebula, OpenStack, and Proxmox.
“StorPool’s Disaster Recovery (DR) Engine has become a pivotal component of RapidCompute’s offerings, enabling us to integrate advanced DRaaS capabilities into our KVM-based OpenStack cloud platform. StorPool’s ability to consistently meet stringent RPO and RTO objectives ensures the protection and rapid recovery of customer workloads during outages,” said Imtiaz Khan, Chief Technology Officer, RapidCompute.
“We have trusted StorPool for over a decade to provide key storage components of our clouds worldwide. StorPool fuses operational expertise with a market leading product for price-performance,” stated Robert Jenkin, CEO with CloudSigma. “With the new Disaster Recovery Engine, StorPool is helping us to better meet the needs of our customers with improved consistency of service.”
“We continue to add innovation and cutting-edge capabilities to our industry-leading fully managed storage service offerings so that MSPs and enterprises meet and exceed their business continuity requirements,” said Boyan Ivanov, CEO at StorPool Storage. “These capabilities are an exciting addition to an already robust cloud infrastructure environment fully supported by StorPool’s Fully Managed Storage Services.”
StorPool Storage is designed for workloads that demand utmost reliability, high performance, and low latency. StorPool comes as a Fully Managed Service / Storage as a Service (STaaS) offering: our teams design, deploy, tune, monitor, and maintain the storage system so that end-users experience fast and reliable services while our customers’ tech teams focus on more strategic aspects of their business.
The StorPool Disaster Recovery Engine is fully integrated with StorPool’s existing licensing. To learn more about the StorPool Storage Platform and its new DR capabilities, visit the company’s website at https://www.storpool.com
The StorPool Disaster Recovery Engine is now in public beta and GA is scheduled for Q2 2025. If you’d like to run DRE – contact StorPool at the details listed below.

Thanks for listening!
LONDON, UK – Feb. 06, 2025 — / BackupReview.info / — Databarracks has announced the launch of Air Gap Recover, a new service that provides enhanced protection against cyber threats, including ransomware attacks.
Designed specifically for cloud-native environments, Air Gap Recover provides isolated, air-gapped data protection and automated failover to guarantee rapid recovery from any cyber attack.
“Traditional data protection solutions don’t work for cloud-native systems and businesses,” said James Watts, Managing Director of Databarracks.
“Native cloud tools are designed more for simplicity than resilience and lack the functionality you need to fully protect your data. Enterprise backup solutions, on the other hand, struggle to scale and can’t handle the volume of data stored in modern cloud systems. Whichever you choose, your recovery is compromised – it either takes too long to restore operations or, in a worst-case scenario, you’re left with no clean copy of data to recover from at all.
“Air Gap Recover addresses these shortcomings. It’s equipped to protect the petabytes of data and globally distributed architectures within cloud-native environments – allowing for complex cloud-scale recovery.
“In 2025, cyber remains the number one threat to business continuity. We know it is no longer a question of “if” but “when”. But no matter the scale or severity of the cyber event – and cloud-native environments are not immune – Air Gap Recover ensures your critical data is protected. If the worst happens – your cloud account is breached, and your data is encrypted or deleted – you failover instantly to a secure and separate account. Your business stays operational while others would scramble to recover.”
Key features include:
Advanced air-gapped security: Data is stored in immutable, isolated cloud accounts to protect against ransomware and other cyber threats.
Automated failover: Provides immediate cross-region failover to a segregated cloud account, ensuring instant recovery with near-zero downtime.
Stepping in where traditional solutions fall short, Air Gap Recover sets a new standard for cloud-native data protection to further strengthen Databarracks’ IT resilience offering.

Miami, FL – February 6, 2025 — / BackupReview.info / — Kaseya, the leading global provider of AI-powered cybersecurity and IT management software, released today The State of Backup and Recovery Report 2025: Navigating the Future of Data Protection. The survey of over 3,000 IT professionals worldwide reveals the importance of data protection and the increased need for robust backup and recovery strategies to address current and future challenges. While 40% felt confident in their systems, 33% have reported nightmares – and many are less prepared than they believe.
“In today’s cyber landscape, it’s hard to be confident about any systems you’re using,” said Frank DeBenedetto, GTM General Manager, MSP Suite, Kaseya. “So much is out of your control, it’s not surprising that nearly a third of IT professionals have had nightmares about their backup. From human error to natural disasters to ransomware attacks, the only way to know your systems work is to test them repeatedly.”
Security and Recovery
With only 10% of businesses reporting zero outages last year, many businesses tested their backups in a trial by fire – if nothing else. Only 15% test their backups daily with another 25% testing weekly. Disaster recovery tests were given even less attention, with only 11% testing daily and 20% testing weekly. And 12% of those surveyed admitted they tested their disaster recovery on an ad hoc basis or not at all.
Looking at recovery times, 60% of respondents believed they could recover in under a day; however, only 35% could do so in reality. Approximately 40% of respondents can recover lost SaaS data in hours, with others requiring days or weeks (35%). More concerning, 8% were unsure of their recovery time and 2% didn’t believe they could recover any lost SaaS data. An alarming 40% of respondents would need days or weeks to recover data from a public cloud and 8% do not back up their public cloud data at all.
Challenges
More than half of the businesses surveyed plan to switch their primary backup solution but are finding major challenges in trying to do so. Price is one of the leading challenges. With IT budgets tightening, businesses need to find a way to balance cost efficiency while maintaining a robust data protection strategy. Optimizing cloud costs emerged as the greatest challenge for businesses looking to move workloads to the cloud with 15% having difficulty finding the right cloud service provider for their business.
Having multiple backup tools created inefficiencies for 10% of businesses and over half of those surveyed spent more than 2 hours a day monitoring, managing and troubleshooting backups. When looking at their current infrastructure, 10% of businesses said alerting and reporting is a challenge because their backup systems don’t have actionable insights and deep enough visibility.
Best Practices
As businesses look to switch their backup solutions in today’s complex hybrid IT environment, they must ensure they’re taking every consideration to protect their data, as well as their client and consumers’ data. By leveraging advanced technologies, like cloud-native solutions and automated testing tools, businesses can save time and effort on time consuming tasks. With the right vendor, they can become even more efficient thanks to integrated solutions and premium support.
Most importantly, an apex backup infrastructure should have a strategic plan in place that plans for scalability and clearly defines backup policies. The plan will help ensure enhanced security of backup systems by implementing multilayered security measures and regularly auditing systems to ensure they’re protected against evolving threats.

News Summary:
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – February 5, 2025 — / BackupReview.info / — Panzura has announced general availability for the latest release of the Panzura CloudFS hybrid cloud file platform. A major upgrade, CloudFS 8.5 Adapt introduces features that dramatically improve business continuity, performance, and security.
Amid unprecedented global technological disruption, geopolitical upheaval, and cybercrime, CloudFS 8.5 Adapt provides a slate of new and innovative hybrid cloud file data capabilities like Instant Node to minimize or eliminate downtime and Regional Store for optimized local access and performance.
According to PwC, 96% of organizations have experienced disruption in the last two years with 76% saying their most serious incident had a medium-to-high impact on operations. Resilience is considered a core competitive advantage and priority by 89% of business leaders, and they want strategies underpinned by technology.
“Today’s enterprise must anticipate and respond to a dynamic state of ‘permacrisis’ where unpredictability is the new normal. With CloudFS 8.5 Adapt, Panzura is taking another leap forward in unstructured data management, enabling their customers to stay ahead of the curve and come out stronger,” said Robert Kramer, Vice President and Principal Analyst, Moor Insights & Strategy.
CloudFS 8.5 Adapt prepares the way for a coming wave of artificial intelligence (AI) workloads, data fabrics, and composable tooling by enabling flexible and adaptable unstructured file services. Building data resilience, command and control, and immediate data delivery into IT infrastructure is crucial for these architectures. This imperative also aligns with the diverse data orchestration and assessment capabilities of the Panzura Symphony data services platform.
Instant Node for a New Era of Business Continuity
CloudFS 8.5 Adapt introduces a new Instant Node capability for business continuity. Technologists face mounting pressure to maintain uninterrupted operations and file data access. Disruptive events like natural disasters, cyberattacks, power outages, or hardware failures can lead to crippling downtime, financial losses, and untold reputational damage.
The Panzura CloudFS platform provides local-feeling file services that allow centralized cloud storage to behave as if it’s a high-performance data center. Its nodes – localized virtual environments – enable performant file operations by caching active files. Real-time awareness of metadata across the entire system, irrespective of the number of locations or distance between them, ensures a collision-free, NAS-like experience for multisite organizations.
“The Instant Node feature in CloudFS 8.5 Adapt delivers persistent business operations and continuity. It provides the ability to deploy, migrate, restore, or rebuild any node with unprecedented speed and ease,” said Sundar Kanthadai, Chief Technology Officer, Panzura.
Leveraging the power of modern storage technologies, Instant Node allows IT teams to replace failed nodes or move an on-premises node into the cloud and get back up-and-running in just a few minutes. This is particularly beneficial for organizations migrating away from VMware, as it streamlines and de-risks the migration process, and facilitates a seamless transition to a cloud-based file services architecture.
Instant Node also provides an alternative to dedicated high-availability (HA) infrastructure, like redundant servers and storage arrays, that require significant upfront investment and ongoing maintenance but often sit idle waiting for a failure to occur. Instead, the Instant Node feature strikes a price and performance balance between traditional HA solutions and the cost-effectiveness of using readily available local hardware resources, like servers, workstations or virtual machines (VMs), to achieve a high level of resilience.
“With Instant Node in CloudFS 8.5 Adapt, our clients get enterprise-class business continuity and infrastructure redundancy without the enterprise price tag. It also makes IT operations more time and resource efficient while strengthening the accuracy and reliability of the recovery process,” said Bradley C. Horst, Vice President, CIO Advisory Services, Symetri.
Beyond disaster recovery, the Instant Node feature also enables node-to-node restoration for automated hardware upgrades, planned migrations, infrastructure changes, and other crucial IT initiatives. This flexibility helps technologists to upgrade and modernize their hybrid cloud and on-premises architectures without disrupting operations.
Extending this operational paradigm, Instant Node offers a REST application programming interface (API) for seamless integration with existing and external IT infrastructure and automation tools. Automated recovery workflows and integration with third-party orchestration solutions means teams can streamline recovery processes and curtail time and resource investments.
Regional Store for Optimized Performance and Costs
When geographically dispersed teams access files that need to be fetched from an object store, latency can cause delays for outliers – teams located a significant distance from the primary data store. For data not yet cached by CloudFS, shortening the distance between users and the data they need accelerates performance.
With the new Regional Store feature in CloudFS 8.5 Adapt, organizations can create additional object stores for localized access to data managed by the platform. Technologists can configure up to four object storage buckets across their preferred provider’s cloud regions. Negating the impacts of latency, localized internet speeds, and expensive high-bandwidth connections, it also brings the data closer to users, optimizes IT operations, and reduces cloud egress.
These buckets are synchronized by the cloud provider, ensuring data consistency across regions. AWS has 36 launched cloud regions worldwide, including eight across the U.S. alone, and Azure provides over 60 globally. End users within replicated regions access uncached file data regionally instead of retrieving it from a distant primary object store location.
By eliminating slow response times, fragmented workflows, and long delays for those outliers – especially for larger files – the Regional Store feature can save potentially hours of unproductive delays. This reduces project bottlenecks and errors, decisions can be made faster, and it frees up time to innovate.
“CloudFS 8.5 Adapt empowers our customers to move at the speed of business. For IT teams, it’s a game changer. Bringing the cloud closer to people and processes significantly enhances operational performance for outlying teams, slashes data transfer fees, and reduces total cost of ownership. That translates into fewer support tickets and more focus on strategic initiatives,” said Kanthadai.
This new CloudFS 8.5 Adapt capability also helps refine data placement for specific scenarios such as high-performance computing, artificial intelligence (AI) pipeline support including large language model (LLM) training, real-time collaboration and co-authoring, and disaster recovery preparedness. Storage costs can be optimized by selecting the most appropriate storage class based on access and usage patterns.
While Regional Store can serve a high-availability infrastructure role, its primary purpose is for local access and performance. The Panzura CloudFS platform offers Cloud Mirroring, a high-availability feature that provides redundancy and disaster recovery for file data.
Additional Features in CloudFS 8.5 Adapt
CloudFS 8.5 Adapt also includes several enhancements that further strengthen security and simplify operations.
Notably, it extends Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) support with advanced Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities integrated with OKTA as an identity provider. This strengthens security by centralizing identity management and reducing the risk of unauthorized access, simplifying user access through advanced SSO functionalities.
Storage Tier Support for Microsoft Azure offers flexibility and cost control by enabling the tiering of Azure storage classes. This allows technologists to align their storage strategy with specific performance and cost requirements, optimizing for cost efficiency and ensuring targeted data placement. This functionality, previously available for AWS in the preceding release, is now extended to Azure.

“In 2012 Qumulo set out to build the world’s most advanced file system, and we never looked back.

Whether it’s entertainment, healthcare and life sciences, energy, or government, we’re clearing the way for users to innovate and digitize at massive scale,” added Founder and Chief Architect of Qumulo Aaron Passey. “Yesterday’s file systems were not built for today’s workflows and rapid data growth. We’re freeing users from the constraints of proprietary hardware and operating systems allowing choice and flexibility, enabling innovation without limits – Qumulo users can now develop breakthroughs using data from any source, on any infrastructure.”
Pricing and Availability
The Qumulo Cloud Data Fabric is available worldwide through major IT infrastructure resellers and system vendors including Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Supermicro, distributors, and most major public clouds, with both prepay and pay-as-you-go options.
