Your backup solution, not your backup project
Compass delivers enterprise backup and recovery as SaaS — automatically securing, patching, and improving the platform. Your team runs data protection by policy instead of maintaining infrastructure.
What is Compass SaaS? Compass is delivered as software-as-a-service and deployable on-premises, in the cloud, or as a hybrid solution. Compass is self-updating, eliminating the patching, updates, and upgrade projects of traditional infrastructure.
- Its automation keeps the platform continuously current — no patching by your team and not a managed service
- Automates daily backup administration.
- Deployable on-premises or on any of the top cloud platforms
- Subscription pricing to match your workload
- Nothing to build; no servers to piece together; no complex licensing; no surprise add-ons to integrate.
The work disappears, the protection doesn't
Traditional backup means building backup servers, sizing appliances, scheduling patch windows, and planning hardware refreshes. Compass takes the work off your team. The platform is delivered as a service, and its automation keeps it continuously current in the background.
No backup servers to build or maintain
Compass provides the physical vault, the cloud vault, or the virtual vault infrastructure for your backup data.
No software for your team to patch
The Compass Vault platform is self-updating. Patches, updates, and upgrades apply automatically in the background.
No heavy management burden
Your team manages by policy and exception, not by task.
One platform, deployed your way
