On-Premises

Every workload in your data center. One backup policy.

Windows, Linux, VMware, Hyper-V, Oracle, SQL Server, IBM i, AIX — Compass protects them all from a single console under one policy. Keep backups local in a Compass Vault, replicate to a second data center, send copies to the cloud, or do all three. Updates, upgrades, and patches happen automatically. On-premises is your architecture. It shouldn’t be your backup burden.

Frequently asked questions

Which on-premises platforms does Compass support?

Windows, Linux, VMware, Hyper-V, Oracle, SQL Server, IBM i, and AIX. They’re protected alongside your cloud and hybrid environments, all under one console and one license.

Does moving workloads between on-premises and cloud change my Compass licensing?

No. Compass licensing follows your data, not your deployment model. Move between on-premises, cloud, and hybrid anytime with no licensing change.

How does Compass control on-premises storage costs?

Automatic storage tiering places data on the most cost-effective tier, and pricing is measured on post-deduplicated, post-compressed data. You pay for what is actually stored.

All your on-premises workloads — without the backup burden.
