StarWind: Storage Gateway for Calamu as Part of VTL Offering

StarWind Software, Inc. launches Storage Gateway for Calamu as part of its VTL offering.

User can add a layer of security on backup data, stored in any cloud and object storage of choosing, that goes beyond immutability to protect against data theft and exfiltration.

The company’s Storage Gateway for Calamu, on top of automated backup and tiering to any cloud and object storage, introduces data protection technology that guards user backup data stored in the cloud against theft–a worsening ransomware trend. The solution transforms how data is stored, making it unusable if stolen or copied off-site. Calamu Technologies Corp.‘s. cyberstorage intelligence also prevents tampering and automatically sequesters suspicious activities.

“Cloud backups are scalable and cost-effective, but also present a rich target for ransomware hackers. Calamu offers StarWind users cutting-edge protection for backup data stored in the cloud, going beyond immutability to eliminate risk in their backup environment.“ Said Jeff Weinstein, president and COO, Calamu

Immutable copies of data in the cloud can still be copied or compromised by ransomware and malicious actors, which is why Calamu is designed to prevent data theft in addition to being immutable. The combined solution reduces an enterprise’s overall attack surface area by eliminating backup data as a point of vulnerability. It’s operable via UIs where you can see and manage everything necessary in a a few clicks. Scaling is flexible while still abiding by regulatory data retention and archival requirements.
