For Managed Service Providers
One platform for every client. Including the IBM ones nobody else can serve.
Multi-vendor backup kills MSP margins. Compass gives you one multi-tenant platform for every client workload — x86, VMware, cloud, and IBM i — with predictable TB-based pricing on post-dedup data.
Why do MSPs build backup services on Compass? Compass is multi-tenant by design — one platform to serve every client workload, priced for margin, including the IBM i clients competitors can't cover.
- Multi-tenant by design, with centralized policy management across all clients from one console
- TB-based pricing on post-deduplicated data — predictable and margin-friendly at any client size
- Zero Access® architecture removes common attack vectors
- Compass Tape Gateway™ serves IBM i clients that competitors' platforms can't cover
- White-label the service under your own brand — deliver backup-as-a-service as your offering, not a third party's
