Applications and Databases

A backup is only as good as the recovery it guarantees.

For SAP HANA, Oracle, Db2, and Epic, a crash-consistent copy isn't enough — you need application-consistent, recovery-verified protection. Compass delivers it from the same platform that protects IBM i, x86, VMware, NAS, and cloud.

Frequently asked questions

Which databases and applications does Compass protect?
Compass provides application-consistent backup for SAP HANA, Oracle, and Db2, and protects enterprise applications including Epic — alongside IBM i, x86, VMware, NAS, and cloud workloads on the same platform.
What is application-consistent backup, and why does it matter?
Application-consistent backup quiesces the database so each recovery point is transactionally consistent and reliably restorable. A crash-consistent snapshot may capture data mid-transaction and fail to recover cleanly — application-consistent protection avoids that risk.
Does database backup use a separate product?
No. Application and database protection is part of the Compass platform, using the same console, policies, pricing model, and DR copy as every other workload.
How are database backups protected from ransomware?
Database backups are stored as immutable, encrypted copies, monitored by Cyber Shield™ anomaly detection, and shielded by Zero Access® architecture, keeping them isolated and recovery-ready.
