Storage as a Service (STaaS)
Storware Cloud is a tiered STaaS destination that gives your Storware Backup Appliance a proven off-site layer for data protection continuity. Three storage tiers, one integration, predictable cost — no cloud infrastructure to build or run.
Backup you can't reach off-site isn't continuity.
One copy, one location isn't continuity
A backup that lives on the same network as production shares the same failure domain — and the same ransomware blast radius. Data protection continuity starts with a second copy, off-site, out of reach. Storware Cloud is that copy, built into your 3-2-1 strategy.
Cloud storage you don't have to run
Standing up and operating your own object-storage tier means capacity planning, redundancy, and lifecycle management you never asked for. Storware Cloud delivers the destination as a service.
Cost that stays predictable as you scale
Retention windows and data volumes only grow. Three storage tiers let you match each workload to the right performance-to-cost ratio — frequently accessed, mixed, or long-term archive — so storage economics stay predictable as the environment scales.
Storware Cloud
Three tiers. One integration. You pick the balance of performance and cost.
Powered by N-able
Best fit: high-performance, frequently accessed backup data. N-able provides cloud-first backup storage through its Cove Data Protection platform, with data held off the local network in N-able's own data centres for regional data residency. For workloads where fast, dependable recovery matters most, Tier 1 keeps recovery objectives tight.
Powered by Vawlt
Best fit: a balance of active and archive data. Vawlt delivers sovereign, multi-cloud storage that spreads data across clouds, regions, and on-premises without dependency on a single provider. Security-by-design architecture and cost optimisation make Tier 2 the balanced option for teams that want control over where data lives — and what it costs.
Powered by Seagate
Best fit: long-term retention and archive. Seagate provides mass-capacity cloud storage through Lyve Cloud, engineered for scale and predictable economics. For compliance-driven retention and cold archive, Tier 3 keeps long-term data affordable without compromising durability.
FAQ
What is Storware Cloud?
A tiered Backup Storage as a Service (STaaS) destination. It gives your backup an off-site layer for 3-2-1 data protection continuity, with three storage tiers you choose per access pattern.
Is it a primary or a secondary backup destination?
Primarily a secondary, off-site destination for 3-2-1. For Storware Backup Appliance (including the SBA 1010) it can also serve as a primary or additional destination in a hybrid setup.
How do the three tiers differ?
Tier 1 (N-able) for frequently accessed data with tight recovery objectives; Tier 2 (Vawlt) for a sovereign, balanced mix of active and archive; Tier 3 (Seagate) for long-term retention and cold archive.
What data-protection features are included?
Deduplication, archiving, geolocation choice, and immutability.
Can I choose where my data is stored?
Yes — geolocation is one of the decisions you keep. Exact regions depend on the tier’s provider.
