Plakar launches the first stable version to simplify and streamline backup practices for modern AI and cloud-native workloads

PARIS, France – May 15, 2025 — / BackupReview.info / — Plakar, an open-source backup and restore platform, today announced the general availability of its first stable release, alongside a $3 million pre-seed funding round led by Seedcamp. The round includes participation from leading venture firms HelloWorld, IrregularExpression, Galion.exe, Kima Ventures, OPRTRS and renowned angel investors, including Olivier Pomel (Datadog), Solomon Hykes (Docker), and Alexandre Yazdi (Voodoo).

Plakar’s modern architecture enables users to protect and orchestrate various types of data across a diverse set of environments in a way that is fast, reliable, and resource-efficient. Plakar doesn’t just store files—it preserves complete application and AI-pipeline context. It deduplicates and compresses data inline, encrypts it end-to-end, and organizes it into a structured, queryable repository.

Unlike traditional backup solutions, where data becomes a dormant cost, Plakar transforms backup storage into an active, valuable resource. Its architecture enables seamless reuse of protected data for production workflows, such as AI model training, data analytics, compliance auditing, or offloading intensive tasks from production systems, unlocking new operational efficiencies and accelerating innovation.

“With Plakar, we’re providing an open-source solution that simplifies backup and restore processes while making enterprise-grade data resilience accessible to businesses of all sizes,” said Julien Mangeard, co-founder and CEO of Plakar. “This product launch and funding announcement is a significant milestone, and we are thrilled to begin this journey with the support of such renowned partners and investors.”

“In an era where AI systems are generating and processing unprecedented volumes of data, ensuring the integrity and security of that data is paramount,” said Sia Houchangnia, Partner at Seedcamp. “Plakar’s approach of combining open-source flexibility with enterprise-grade features aligns with our belief in empowering developers and businesses with accessible, reliable, and efficient tools.”

Plakar’s engine, called Kloset, turns each backup into a compact, self-contained, immutable data unit that travels with its own structure, metadata, and encryption. Like a container for data, it removes the need for external coordination or dependencies—enabling fast, secure, and portable backups across any environment, from local files to distributed cloud systems.

Plakar’s end-to-end workflow keeps every backup lean, secure, and instantly recoverable with the following features:

  • Data Collection: Immutable, content-addressed snapshots capture incremental versions of datasets and model checkpoints so experiments remain fully reproducible while slashing redundant storage by up to 90%.
  • Data Visualization: Snapshots are browsable and verifiable without restoring, and restores are precise and fast.
  • Data Security: Plakar uses the same end-to-end encryption to ensure compliance with stringent data-protection regulations.
  • Resource Efficiency: By combining advanced deduplication and compression techniques, Plakar minimizes storage requirements, allowing for more restore points with less space.
  • Interoperability: Plakar integrates seamlessly with various storage environments, including cloud-based storage, S3-compatible solutions, local servers, NAS, SAN, tape drives, and Kubernetes volumes.

With the new funding, Plakar plans to expand its engineering team to accelerate feature development and enhance platform scalability. Additionally, the company aims to grow its customer base by targeting AI-focused startups and enterprises seeking efficient, secure, and reproducible data management solutions.

Organizations will be able to leverage AI Agents for Search, Deep Research, and enhanced data extraction

Box announces an AI Agent for Microsoft 365 Copilot, joining a network of Box AI Agents available for Agent-to-Agent interactions across third-party platforms

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – May 15, 2025 — / BackupReview.info / — Box, Inc. (NYSE:BOX), the leading Intelligent Content Management (ICM) platform, today announced the next evolution of its Box AI platform by introducing a new generation of AI Agents designed to transform how organizations work with content. With this new innovation, customers will be able to leverage AI Agents for Search, Deep Research, and enhanced data extraction so they can uncover more value from their content in Box — while taking advantage of Box’s industry-leading security and compliance standards. Box also introduced a new Box AI Agent for Microsoft 365 Copilot, to help customers unlock intelligent experiences that allow users to securely search, analyze, and act on Box content directly within Microsoft 365. Box will be showcasing all of these new announcements and more later today at the company’s annual Content + AI Summit.

“The future of enterprise AI will be defined by intelligent agents that can work together across systems, each bringing unique context and capabilities to the table,” said Aaron Levie, co-founder and CEO of Box. “Just as APIs once connected software, AI agents will change the way we work – and that transformation will be most profound when applied to enterprise content. With this next evolution of Box AI, we’re putting the intelligence of millions of files directly into the hands of users and into the AI tools they already use. These Agents will integrate seamlessly across platforms, helping teams make faster, more informed decisions while preserving the security and compliance enterprises depend on.”

Box AI Agents with Search, Deep Research, and enhanced data extraction capabilities

Box AI Agents are built with a layered approach to deliver value by combining five core components. Starting with enterprise knowledge securely found in Box, the Agents then leverage best-in-class AI models from Amazon, Anthropic, Google, IBM, Meta, OpenAI, and xAI to best match the task’s demands. Every Agent is aligned to an objective, follows a set of structured instructions that guide its actions, and is equipped with tools to complete its work with precision. Users will be able to interact with Box AI Agents to extract insights from content and automate enterprise workflows. Box AI Agents can also be customized in Box AI Studio.

With new AI-powered Search, Box AI Agents deliver precision across a spectrum of tasks. For quick lookups, they quickly surface targeted answers — like an expiration date in a contract or a client name in meeting notes. For more complex queries, Search uses high-precision semantic analysis to uncover relationships and insights across large volumes of content.

With Deep Research capabilities, Box AI Agents will be able to analyze large volumes of enterprise content to extract meaning and trends — automatically identifying the most relevant files using Box’s secure, permission-aware, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) framework. The Agents then synthesize findings into digestible outputs, helping teams focus on decisions rather than sorting through fragmented files.

With enhanced data extraction, Box AI Agents will turn unstructured data, including scanned PDFs, images, and handwritten notes, into structured, actionable data. Using Optical Character Recognition (OCR), document intelligence, and natural language processing, Box AI Agents will automatically extract key information such as dates, financial figures, clause types, and contract terms.

With Box AI Agents:

  • Legal teams will be able to instantly locate contracts containing specific liability or indemnification clauses across thousands of files, and extract key terms like expiration dates or renewal conditions to accelerate legal review while maintaining compliance;
  • Product managers will be able to analyze competitor offerings by synthesizing insights from sales decks, analyst reports, and meeting notes to enable faster roadmap decisions based on real-world trends;
  • Insurance auditors will be able to extract and aggregate policy terms, payout limits, and renewal dates from thousands of scanned PDFs and handwritten claims using enhanced data extraction to turn unstructured data into structured, reportable insights;
  • HR specialists will be able to summarize employee survey results and sentiment trends across open-ended responses, and combine findings with policy documents or training feedback to prepare leadership updates.
  • Financial analysts will be able to extract key financial figures, invoice terms, and renewal dates from supplier contracts, scanned receipts, and purchase orders to streamline audits, spend analysis, and renegotiations with precision and speed.

At the core of the new Box AI platform is a dynamic agentic reasoning framework designed to make sense of today’s complex content landscape. Box AI Agents operate where content lives, applying task-specific intelligence to identify relevant documents, synthesize insights, and extract key data — streamlining work and accelerating decisions without compromising security.

“AI is fundamentally changing how we work, but the real breakthrough will come when it can understand and act on the vast amount of content organizations rely on every day,” said Amy Machado, Sr. Research Manager, Enterprise Content and Knowledge Discovery Strategies at IDC. “With Box’s latest AI advancements, customers will be able to leverage AI to instantly find answers, extract insights, and create new content with their most critical information already securely stored in Box. It’s a big and important step forward in making AI truly useful across the enterprise.”

Expanding the agent ecosystem with Microsoft
Box also introduced a new AI Agent for Microsoft 365 Copilot, expanding its reach into Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat. These capabilities allow users to securely search, analyze, and act on Box content directly within Microsoft tools.

With this integration, joint customers will be able to:

  • Analyze dense sets of documents to extract key insights and information for better decision making;
  • Leverage existing templates to draft new content from a simple prompt for simplified content creation;
  • Search and query across multiple documents to identify patterns, insights, and action items for quicker search and trend analysis;
  • Ask targeted questions to clearly define milestones for improved project tracking and stakeholder communication.

“Box has been a trusted Microsoft partner for years, and we’re pleased to take our collaboration to the next level with this new Box AI Agent for Microsoft 365 Copilot,” said Dan Stevenson, General Manager, Copilot Ecosystem at Microsoft. “By bringing together Box’s enterprise-grade Intelligent Content Management platform and Microsoft’s AI-powered productivity platform, we’re making it seamless for joint customers to use the power of Copilot with all their content stored in Box, unlocking insights and taking actions across their enterprise tools.”

In addition to Microsoft 365 Copilot, Box AI Agents are available or in development with Google Agentspace, IBM watsonx Orchestrate, Salesforce Agentforce, Slack AI, ServiceNow AI Agent Fabric, and Zoom AI Companion. Developers can also build custom agents that leverage Box content using the Box MCP server, Google ADK, and OpenAI Agents SDK, as well as through their preferred developer and data platforms, including Airbyte, CrewAI, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Pinecone, Pydantic AI, Unstructured, and Weaviate.

Pricing and Availability
The next evolution of the Box AI platform with new Box AI Agents will be available to customers in the coming months, with pricing being announced closer to general availability. Additionally, customers looking to use the new Box AI Agent for Microsoft 365 Copilot can contact their Box representative.

Strengthen Your Clients’ Data Resilience With Enhanced Safeguards for Data and Identity

BELLEVUE, Wash. – May 15, 2025 — / BackupReview.info / — As cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated, managed service providers (MSPs) are challenged to protect vulnerabilities for not only client data but also identity and access policies. That’s why Dropsuite, a recognized leader in cloud data protection, today announced major product updates to help close these critical security gaps. The latest updates expand on Dropsuite’s leading Microsoft 365 backup coverage and enhance protection for Microsoft Entra identity systems and access policies.

With these new capabilities, MSPs can deliver broader and deeper protection to recover faster from incidents and provide greater customer value. In today’s cloud-first world, it’s not a matter of if, but when, a breach will occur — and it’s the ability to respond that defines an organization’s resilience.

Add data protection as a security layer
Dropsuite’s latest enhancements transform Microsoft 365 backup into a core security layer for modern MSPs. Microsoft OneDrive now backs up more frequently, up to three times per day, with improved permission backup and restoration so customers can pick up where they left off. Contact history tracking allows MSPs to restore any previous versions of contact lists, while sub-calendar support helps with comprehensive calendar recovery. Microsoft SharePoint download speeds are three times faster, further minimizing business downtime.

As cyberattacks increasingly target Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory), Dropsuite’s Entra Backup adds a crucial layer of identity protection. Now, MSPs can limit downtime from misconfigurations or deletions with expanded coverage for enterprise applications, service principals, conditional access policies, device management policies, Microsoft Intune policies and BitLocker recovery keys. This helps ensure that MSPs recover faster and maintain business continuity for their clients.

“We’re increasing MSP awareness of new cyberattack surfaces and adding value for their end users with deeper layers of protection against both the latest threats and human error,” said Mark Kirstein, chief product officer of Dropsuite. “Whether it’s a new entry point for ransomware or an accidental policy misconfiguration, Dropsuite has our partners covered.”

Build resilience through visibility and control
Dropsuite’s unified platform provides visibility across content and identity, empowering MSPs to act as trusted security advisors for their clients. MSPs can now protect identity access rules and security policies to limit extended downtime by quickly rolling back to previous versions. They gain cybersecurity forensic capabilities to use in post-incident investigation by tracing changes in rules, policies and identities — allowing them to identify what was accessed, lost or encrypted.

Using Dropsuite’s new activity log, MSPs can also monitor their admin actions across end users to help with operational transparency, accountability and compliance.? If an MSP detects a suspicious password reset request, for example, they can quickly trace the action, confirm who initiated it and take immediate steps to secure the account.

How Dropsuite helps elevate MSPs to strategic security partners

Deliver Complete Protection: Eliminate security gaps by protecting data content and identity systems and enabling regulatory compliance — all from a single platform to help reduce complexity.

Recover Faster After Security Incidents: Minimize client downtime and maintain business continuity with seamless restoration and faster recovery during critical events.

Build Stronger Client Trust With Enhanced Visibility: Protect people, devices and applications from unauthorized access while instantly tracing suspicious activities and remediating threats as they arise.

Support Compliance Efforts: Use tools like the activity log to track MSP admin actions for all end users and help meet regulatory compliance requirements.

Santa Clara, Calif. – May 13, 2025 — / BackupReview.info / — Cohesity, the leader in AI-powered data security, today announced that Bethany Children’s Health Center, a premier pediatric healthcare facility dedicated to providing exceptional care for children with complex medical needs, has chosen the Cohesity Data Cloud to enhance patient data security and streamline operations. Cyber threats against healthcare organizations are on the rise—according to Cohesity’s 2024 Global Survey, 23% of government and public service organizations were impacted by cyberattacks. Using Cohesity, Bethany Children’s has transformed its data protection and restoration processes, ensuring patient data is secure and operations can be restored quickly and efficiently.

“Our goal is to provide the best care for every child who walks through our doors, and a key part of that commitment is ensuring their health information is both protected and accessible,” said Kevin Chambers, Chief Information Executive, Bethany Children’s Health Center. “Partnering with Cohesity has strengthened our security posture and improved our ability to respond to potential threats.”

Prior to implementing the Cohesity Data Cloud, Bethany Children’s was challenged by time-consuming and complex data backup and restoration workflows. These inefficiencies made it difficult to quickly restore services in the event of an incident, potentially impacting patient care. With Cohesity, the organization has streamlined these processes and enhanced its resilience against cyber threats. Bethany Children’s now benefits from a centralized dashboard that provides a comprehensive view of their data and backup environment, while immutable backups and AI-driven threat detection and alerting provide an additional layer of security.

“Restoring our data was a complicated process before Cohesity. Now, it’s streamlined, quick, and efficient, and we have extra resilience with cyber vaulting and AI-powered alerts to potential threats,” said Chambers. “With Cohesity as our partner, our data is more secure and can be restored faster and more efficiently, ensuring uninterrupted patient care.”

Bethany Children’s is also in the early stages of implementing Cohesity’s Gaia enterprise knowledge discovery assistant as part of its broader initiative to leverage AI-driven innovations for optimizing patient care. This will enable the health center to manage and utilize data more effectively across the organization.

“Bethany Children’s Health Center is a shining example of the best in healthcare– dedication, compassion, and a commitment to providing life-changing care to children,” said Kit Beall, Chief Revenue Officer, Cohesity. “Cyber threats against healthcare organizations continue to rise, making data protection critical. Protecting the data of such vital organizations is an enormous responsibility, and we’re proud to be a trusted partner of healthcare organizations across the world. With Cohesity ensuring their data is always secure and accessible, healthcare providers can focus on delivering life-changing care.”

Redefining cloud resilience with validated, secure, and recovery-ready AWS data

BOSTON, MA – May 13, 2025 — / BackupReview.info / — Elastio, the leader in ransomware recovery assurance, today announced a strategic partnership with Aligned Technology Group (Aligned TG), an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner known for its expertise in Cloud Finance, Cloud Engineering, and Cloud Security. This collaboration brings the Elastio Ransomware Recovery Assurance Platform into Aligned TG’s AWS service offerings, giving customers a powerful, security-first solution to detect ransomware and ensure backup recoverability.

By embedding Elastio’s continuous backup validation and ransomware detection into Aligned TG’s disaster recovery (DR) and data protection services, customers gain peace of mind that their AWS backup data and failover data environments are clean, uncompromised, and ready for restoration before they ever need to recover.

“Our goal at Elastio is simple—make clean recovery from ransomware the default, not the exception,” said Najaf Husain, Co-founder and CEO of Elastio. “Aligned TG understands that cloud resilience requires more than just good architecture. By integrating the Elastio Platform, they’re helping customers close the gap by ensuring clean data backups and true recovery assurance.”

As ransomware threats grow more advanced—often targeting data backup and Disaster Recovery (DR) environments directly—this partnership equips Aligned TG’s clients with a proactive defense. The Elastio Platform analyzes AWS backup and replication data for signs of ransomware encryption, corruption, and insider threats, enabling teams to respond faster, restore clean data confidently, and maintain business continuity with minimal disruption.

“Elastio delivers a critical layer of trust in today’s ransomware-heavy environment,” said John Zemonek, Managing Partner at Aligned Technology Group. “Our customers rely on us to secure, optimize, and operationalize their cloud. Partnering with Elastio means we can now deliver assured data recovery—a game changer for anyone serious about cloud resilience.”

Why It Matters
Ransomware recovery isn’t simply having data backups—it’s about knowing they are clean. Through this partnership, Aligned TG customers benefit from:

  • Assured Recovery – Elastio uniquely validates AWS backup and replication data, identifying signs of ransomware encryption and data compromise.
  • Security-First Disaster Recovery – Aligned TG designs and deploys hardened DR strategies that prioritize clean failover.
  • Faster, Safer Restores – Clean recovery points reduce downtime, minimize data loss, and support compliance.
  • Scalable Protection – Solutions grow with your environment, delivering enterprise-grade backup data ransomware defense without slowing innovation.

Setting a New Standard in Cloud Resilience
The Elastio and Aligned TG partnership establishes a new benchmark for secure AWS recovery architectures. By combining Aligned TG’s deep cloud expertise with Elastio’s ransomware recovery assurance, organizations can build DR strategies that are not only robust but verifiably clean and business-ready.

Commvault has announced a strategic alliance with Deloitte focused on helping organizations stay ahead of evolving threats by becoming more resilient, enabling the enterprise of the future

TINTON FALLS, NJ – May 12, 2025 — / BackupReview.info / — Commvault, a leading provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, today announced a strategic alliance with Deloitte. Together, Commvault and Deloitte aim to help organizations stay ahead of evolving threats by becoming more resilient, enabling the enterprise of the future.

In today’s digital landscape, there is an urgent need for incident response and comprehensive cyber resilience strategies. In fact, in Deloitte Global’s Future of Cyber 4th edition survey, 43% of US respondents cited keeping pace with the evolving threat landscape as one of the top strategic challenges to contend with. The escalating sophistication and frequency of cyber threats necessitates that enterprises adopt end-to-end cyber resilience measures to safeguard critical assets and maintain operational integrity.

By integrating Commvault’s advanced cyber resilience solutions with Deloitte’s cyber defense and response capabilities and breadth of industry experience, the alliance offers joint clients broad capabilities for cyber threat management, encompassing proactive prevention, detection, response, and recovery.

Commvault and Deloitte are working together to help businesses maintain operational continuity before, during, and after a cyber incident.

  • Before an attack: Commvault and Deloitte assist organizations in understanding and defining their minimum viability – the critical set of applications, assets, processes, and people required to operate their business following an attack or outage. Once defined, Commvault’s Cleanroom Recovery can assist enterprises in assessing their minimum viability and testing their recovery plans in advance, so they know when they’re attacked, they can rapidly recover.
  • During an attack: Deloitte’s cyber risk services combined with Commvault’s AI-enabled anomaly detection capabilities help joint clients identify and mitigate potential threats before they escalate.
  • Post-attack: Deloitte’s incident response capabilities combined with the Commvault Cloud platform – which includes unique resilience offerings like Cloud RewindClumio Backtrack, and Cleanroom Recovery, help organizations quickly recover, minimize downtime, and operate in a state of continuous business.

“Our strategic alliance with Deloitte represents a significant advancement in cyber resilience,” said Alan Atkinson, Chief Partner Officer at Commvault. “By combining Commvault’s cyber resilience technologies with Deloitte’s deep technical knowledge in cyber detection and response, we are creating a formidable defense for our joint customers against today’s most sophisticated cyber threats.”

This collaboration is designed to scale with the evolving needs of enterprises, offering adaptive solutions that protect businesses as they grow. With deep industry experience, Commvault and Deloitte bring specialized insights to help enhance both protection and recovery efforts, aiding organizations to navigate cyber threats with confidence.

“In an era where cyber threats are more pervasive than ever, our collaboration with Commvault aims to advance cyber resilience for our joint clients,” said David Nowak, Principal, Deloitte & Touche LLP. “Together, we are offering a strategic and broad solution that not only helps our clients fortify their defenses but also helps with recovering from outages and cyberattacks.”

Cyber Resiliency Expert Tony Giannini Joins Assured to Lead Vital Strategic Initiative as Global Expansion Gathers Pace

Herndon, VA and Leeds, UK – 8th May 2025 — / BackupReview.info / — Assured Data Protection (Assured), the prominent IT managed services provider (MSP) for cloud data protection solutions, today announces the launch of its Innovation Team – a strategic initiative aimed at expanding the company’s market-leading disaster recovery (DR), backup, and cyber resiliency services with the addition of new technologies that complement current data protection services.

Led by Tony Giannini, a seasoned executive from the IT service sector who recently joined Assured, the Innovation Team will focus on identifying and implementing technologies that bring new value to customers beyond Assured’s current Rubrik-based offering. Tony will be supported by UK-based cyber resiliency leaders Chris Deacon and Nik Grove, alongside other team members.

The team’s first innovation initiative, which is already underway, has seen Assured partner with hybrid-cloud computing company Nutanix to deliver a first-of-its-kind backup and DR solution to customers. Nutanix Disaster Recovery as-a-Service, delivered by Assured, requires no investment in facilities or hardware and operationalizes Nutanix disaster recovery solutions, providing protection to customers in over 70 countries worldwide.

By combining Nutanix replication with traditional data protection offerings, customers can prioritize their workloads, matching recovery speed to the most critical applications while leveraging lower-cost solutions for those workloads that can support longer recovery time and point capabilities. It can be operational within hours, providing Nutanix customers with the confidence of a robust backup and DR solution, delivered by an award-winning global data backup and disaster recovery managed service provider.

The product is already proving to be highly successful for Assured, Nutanix, and their customers. As a result, Assured has been named Nutanix MSP of the Year for 2024 in the UK. The two companies will now explore ways to deepen and expand the partnership, led by Assured’s Innovation Team.

Stacy Hayes, EVP of Americas, Assured Data Protection, commented: “The formation of our Innovation Team is an important strategic initiative for Assured. We’ve built a strong business taking Rubrik’s market-leading disaster recovery and immutable backup technology to market through our MSP model. As we grow and expand globally, now is the time to build on our success by adding additional technologies that will complement our data protection services, bringing new value to our customers. We’re thrilled to have Tony Giannini onboard to lead this initiative, supported by Chris Deacon and Nik Grove. The Innovation Team will greatly contribute to our rapid growth.”

Tony Giannini, Global Innovations Team Leader, Assured Data Protection, commented: “This is a great time to be joining Assured and a fantastic opportunity to work with the most talented people in the data protection space. I’m looking forward to working with the Innovation Team to develop adjacent technologies that complement Assured’s as-a-service offer in a stand-alone product development business unit within the company.”

Chris Deacon, Co-Lead, Innovation Team, Assured Data Protection, commented: “There’s a great need and demand for innovation in the backup and disaster recovery sector, especially around managed services. Nik and I have worked together as a team for over 10 years, having built and run successful technology businesses in this sector. We understand the market and customer pain points, and we’re delighted to work with Tony Giannini to provide customers with more technology options to solve their specific challenges, while helping Assured diversify its technology portfolio.”

Innovation Key to Assured’s Global Expansion
Fulfilling a long-standing strategic vision of Assured Data Protection’s founders—and backed by a 2024 capital investment from Oakley Capital – the company is accelerating its global expansion. While the United States and the United Kingdom remain Assured’s largest and most established markets, the company continues to scale its presence across Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and North Africa. This growth reflects rising global demand for consumption-based IT services and Assured’s managed offerings, which deliver added value by allowing organizations to offload the critical, but non-mission supportive, function of data protection and cyber resiliency/disaster recovery as a service.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are frequently identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” or other similar terms or expressions that relate to our future performance, expectations, strategy, plans or intentions, and include statements in the section titled “Financial Outlook.”

Our actual results could differ materially from those stated in or implied by the forward-looking statements in this press release due to a number of factors, including but not limited to: the impact of our go-to-market transformation and ability to attract and retain customers, including increasingly larger customers; the continued growth of data stored by our customers; continued growth of AI related business; realizing the anticipated benefits relating to cost savings initiatives and the re-investment of savings in additional sales capacity; market competition, including competitors that may have greater size, offerings and resources; effectively managing growth; ability to offer new features and other offerings on a timely basis, including geographic expansion in Canada or other jurisdictions, and achieve desired market adoption; disruption in our service or loss of availability of customers’ data; cyberattacks; continued growth consistent with historical levels; the impact of pricing and other product offering changes; material defects or errors in our software; supply chain disruption; ability to maintain existing relationships with partners and to enter into new partnerships; ability to remediate and prevent material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting; hiring and retention of key employees; the impact of changes to global trade and tariff policies, on us or our vendors, partners and customers; war or hostilities, and other significant world or regional events on our business and the business of our customers, vendors, supply chain and partners; litigation and other disputes; third party attempts to generate negative news regarding the Company, regardless of accuracy; and general market, political, economic, and business conditions. Further information on these and additional risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those included in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this release are included under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings and reports we make with the SEC from time to time.

The forward-looking statements made in this release reflect our views as of the date of this press release. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in this press release, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial measures, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), we provide investors with non-GAAP financial measures including (i) adjusted gross profit (and margin), (ii) adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, (iii) non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, and (iv) adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow margin. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items and are not prepared in accordance with GAAP; therefore, the information is not necessarily comparable to other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We present these non-GAAP measures because management believes they are a useful measure of our performance and provide an additional basis for assessing our operating results. Please see the appendix attached to this press release for a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted gross margin and adjusted EBITDA margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, expenses and other factors in the future. For example, stock-based compensation expense-related charges are impacted by the timing of employee stock transactions, the future fair market value of our common stock, and our future hiring and retention needs, all of which are difficult to predict with reasonable accuracy and subject to constant change.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Margin
We believe adjusted gross profit (and margin), when taken together with our GAAP financial results, provides a meaningful assessment of our performance and is useful to us for evaluating our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

We define adjusted gross profit as gross profit, excluding stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization and restructuring charges within cost of revenue. We define adjusted gross margin as a percentage of adjusted gross profit to revenue. We exclude stock-based compensation, which is a non-cash item, and restructuring charges because we do not consider it indicative of our core operating performance. We exclude depreciation expense of our property and equipment and amortization expense of capitalized internal-use software because these may not reflect current or future cash spending levels to support our business. We believe adjusted gross profit (and margin) provides consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, as this metric eliminates the effects of depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, interest expense, investment income, income tax provision, realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, impairment of long-lived assets, restructuring charges, legal settlement costs, and other non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues for the period. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, when taken together with our GAAP financial results, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations, or outlook. We consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to be important measures because they help illustrate underlying trends in our business and our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis.

Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) Per Share
We define non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, restructuring charges, legal settlement costs, and other items we deem non-recurring. Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share is defined as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. We believe that non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, when taken together with our GAAP financial results, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations, or outlook.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin
We believe that Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin are useful metrics for assessing liquidity that provide information to management and investors about the cash generated from our core operations that can be reinvested in the business. However, these measures should not replace cash flows from operations as a liquidity benchmark. One limitation of these metrics is that they do not reflect our future contractual commitments, nor do they capture the overall changes in our cash balance during a specific period. Nonetheless, we believe that Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin are key metrics providing insight into our financial trajectory that helps us make informed decisions as we work towards sustainable positive cash flow.

We define adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, capitalized internal-use software costs, principal payments on finance leases and lease financing obligations, as reflected in our consolidated statements of cash flows, and excluding payments on restructuring charges, payments on legal settlement costs, and payments on other non-recurring charges. Adjusted free cash flow margin is calculated as adjusted free cash flow divided by revenue.

Key Business Metrics:

Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)
We define annual recurring revenue (ARR) as the annualized value of all Backblaze B2 and Computer Backup arrangements as of the end of a period. Given the renewable nature of our business, we view ARR as an important indicator of our financial performance and operating results, and we believe it is a useful metric for internal planning and analysis. ARR is calculated based on multiplying the monthly revenue from all Backblaze B2 and Computer Backup arrangements, which represent greater than 98% of our revenue for the periods presented for the last month of a period by 12. Our annual recurring revenue for Computer Backup and B2 Cloud Storage is calculated in the same manner as our overall annual recurring revenue based on the revenue from our Computer Backup and B2 Cloud Storage solutions, respectively.

Net Revenue Retention Rate (NRR)
To calculate the NRR for a specific quarter, we determine the revenue recognized in that quarter from customers who generated revenue during the same quarter of the previous year. This revenue is then divided by the revenue generated in the prior year quarter. Our overall NRR rate is calculated as the average of these quarterly rates over the past four quarters to provide a comprehensive view of revenue trends.

Gross Customer Retention Rate
We use gross customer retention rate to measure our ability to retain our customers. Our gross customer retention rate reflects only customer losses and does not reflect the expansion or contraction of revenue we earn from our existing customers. We believe our high gross customer retention rates demonstrate that we provide a vital service to our customers, as the vast majority of our customers tend to continue to use our platform from one period to the next. To calculate our gross customer retention rate, we take the trailing four-quarter average of our quarterly gross customer retention rates. We calculate the quarterly gross customer retention rates by dividing (i) the number of accounts that generated revenue in the last month of the current quarter that also generated recurring revenue during the last month of the corresponding quarter in the prior year, by (ii) the number of accounts that generated recurring revenue during the last month of the corresponding quarter in the prior year.

Number of Customers
We define a customer at the end of any period as a distinct account, as identified by a unique account identifier, that has paid for our cloud services, which makes up substantially all of our user base. In Q4 2023, we refined our customer definition to include end-user customers that purchase through a reseller. This resulted in no impact to previously reported metrics other than a 1% decrease to the 120% NRR metric reported for Q3 2023.

Annual Average Revenue Per User
We define annual average revenue per user (Annual ARPU) as the annualized value for the average revenue per customer. Annual ARPU is calculated by dividing our revenue for the last month of a period by the total number of customers as of the last day of the same period and then multiplying the resulting quotient by 12. Our annual average revenue per user for Computer Backup and B2 Cloud Storage is calculated in the same manner based on the revenue and number of customers from our Computer Backup and B2 Cloud Storage solutions, respectively.

ARTESCA 3.0 earns Gold in the Cloud Storage & Backup Solution category

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – May 8, 2025 — / BackupReview.info /– Scality, a global leader in cyber-resilient storage software for the AI era, announced today that its ARTESCA 3.0 solution earned a Gold Stevie® Award in the Cloud Storage & Backup Solution category, the highest award level, as part of The 23rd Annual American Business Awards®.

The American Business Awards — a.k.a. “The Stevies” — is a premier business awards program in the US. All organizations operating in the country are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and nonprofit, large and small.

Launched nearly a year ago, ARTESCA 3.0 introduced groundbreaking CORE5 API-to-Architecture cyber resilience. CORE5 is a reference to the five levels of ransomware protection: 1) API, 2) data, 3) storage, 4) geography, and 5) architecture. ARTESCA 3.0 is the first object storage solution of any kind to offer such a comprehensive level of protection.

Since then, the company has released an all-flash version of the ARTESCA hardware appliance and a pay-as-you-go service offering for Veeam cloud service providers. Last week, Scality unveiled another industry first: the ARTESCA+ Veeam unified software appliance, which combines Veeam Backup & Replication™ software with ARTESCA object storage software in a single, streamlined software appliance.

With a variety of deployment models, ARTESCA provides midsize enterprises and companies that lack deep technical resources enterprise-grade cyber-resilient storage without the need for deep storage or OS expertise. ARTESCA has become a critical offering — and a cash cow — for channel partners, who have found that the product uniquely meets the needs of this customer segment.

“Where the industry had previously been focused on immutability, ARTESCA raised the bar significantly over the past year with its five-level end-to-end cyber resilience. Its fast deployment and easy maintenance has put industry-standard cybersecurity within the reach of smaller companies, which is why ARTESCA continues to garner recognition from independent third parties.” — Eric LeBlanc, GM, ARTESCA and Channel Chief, Scality

Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word meaning “crowned,” The American Business Awards garnered more than 3,600 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry across a wide range of categories. More than 250 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year’s Stevie Award winners.

“Organizations across the United States continue to demonstrate resilience and innovation. The 2025 Stevie winners have helped drive that success through their innovation, persistence, and hard work. We congratulate all of the winners in the 2025 ABAs and look forward to celebrating their achievements during our June 10 gala event in New York.” — Maggie Miller, President, Stevie Awards

Details about The American Business Awards and the list of 2025 Stevie winners are available at www.StevieAwards.com/ABA. For more information about ARTESCA, visit the product line’s microsite.

About the Stevie Awards
Stevie Awards are conferred in nine programs: the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards, the German Stevie Awards, the Middle East & North Africa Stevie Awards, The American Business Awards®, The International Business Awards®, the Stevie Awards for Women in Business, the Stevie Awards for Great Employers, the Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service, and the Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence. Stevie Awards competitions receive more than 12,000 entries each year from organizations in more than 70 nations. Honoring organizations of all types and sizes and the people behind them, the Stevies recognize outstanding performances in the workplace worldwide.

WALTHAM, Mass. – May 08, 2025 — / BackupReview.info / — Infinidat, a leading provider of enterprise storage solutions, today announced that the company has won three Global InfoSec Awards from Cyber Defense Magazine, a leading information security magazine. The 2025 awards for Infinidat include “Hot Company – Cyber Resilience,” “Hot Company – Cyberstorage” and “Editor’s Choice – Ransomware Recovery.” This is Cyber Defense Magazine’s 13th year of honoring InfoSec innovators around the world.

“Infinidat offers the most comprehensive cyber resilience and cyber recovery solutions for enterprise storage on the market today. This includes our all-inclusive award-winning InfiniSafe solutions for automated cyber protection, cyber detection, and all the essential cyber storage resilience and recovery capabilities,” said Eric Herzog, CMO at Infinidat. “We’re pleased to be recognized as a ‘Hot Company’ for cyber resilience and cyber storage and to win ‘Editor’s Choice’ for ransomware recovery. Infinidat’s next-generation data protection strategy has pioneered a cyber-focused, recovery-first approach, significantly reducing the impact of cyberattacks. Infinidat injects cyber resilience and cyber recovery into the critical parts of an enterprise data infrastructure and guarantees – yes, guarantees ? recovery of data within minutes.”

Cyber resilience and cyber recovery are crucial for modern enterprise data infrastructure. It is no longer a question of “if” your enterprise will suffer a cyberattack, but “when” and “how often.” Enterprise storage systems must be fortified against cyberattacks that corrupt, ensnare or steal business-critical data. Cybersecurity can no longer simply rely on securing the perimeter; it’s critical that the enterprise storage infrastructure itself is secured from within. Traditional systems have become weak points for attacks. Infinidat’s cyber storage solutions are designed to provide a robust defense against cyberattacks – especially ransomware and malware – enabling swift recovery and business continuity in the wake of an incident.

As a leader in enterprise storage cyber resilient and cyber recovery solutions, Infinidat first unveiled its InfiniSafe® software-based platform three years ago with a set of cybersecurity functions. The comprehensive cyber resilience and recovery capabilities of InfiniSafe dramatically improve the ability of an enterprise to combat and protect against ever-increasing cyberattacks and data breaches by uniquely combining immutable snapshots, logical air gapping, a fenced forensic environment, the ability to seamlessly integrate with data center-wide cyber security software or an enterprise’s Security Operations Center (SOC), virtually instantaneous data recovery, and the capability of using AI and ML technology to scan storage for cyberattacks into a single, high-performance platform.

Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine, said, “Infinidat embodies three major features we judges look for to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats, today, providing a cost-effective solution and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach.”

The judges for the Global Infosec Awards are CISSP, FMDHS, CEH, certified security professionals who voted based on their independent review of the company submitted materials on the website of each submission, including but not limited to data sheets, white papers, product literature and other market variables. Cyber Defense Magazine has a flexible philosophy to find more innovative players with new and unique technologies. Cyber Defense Magazine specializes in identifying best-of-breed, next-generation information security solutions.

Cyber Defense Magazine is the premier source of cyber security news and information for InfoSec professions in business and government. Its mission is to share cutting-edge knowledge, real-world stories and awards on the best ideas, products, and services in the information technology industry.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

We include these non-GAAP financial measures (which should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, their comparable GAAP measures) in this press release because we believe they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency into the supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude (i) depreciation, (ii) amortization, (iii) restructuring expenses, (iv) severance expenses, (v) board expenses, (vi) stock based compensation, (vii) non-operating expenses (income) including income taxes and interest & other expenses (income).
