OpenStack public and private cloud storage providers are built to maximize service availability and ensure continuous access to cloud data. However, this does not equate to a comprehensive data protection. While OpenStack providers may use technologies such as snapshots of volumes, instances, and images for internal system recovery, these recovery mechanisms are primarily intended to maintain platform operations and infrastructure resilience. In most cases, end users do not have direct access to these internal recovery copies for granular or long-term data restoration.
OpenStack does not provide built-in user-level backup
OpenStack does not provide a native, platform‑wide recycle bin or safety net. Unlike other cloud platforms, once files, virtual machines, volumes, or any data are deleted, the loss is instant and irreversible.
This means your OpenStack environment is running without any built-in user-level data protection or recovery capability. Without an independent backup solution, your data is exposed to catastrophic risk, including:
- Data synchronization errors
- Human error
- Data corruption
- Insider threats
- Malware, ransomware, and hackers
Own your cloud data. Take back control.
Downtime is just the beginning when critical business data is lost. The real impact?
- Reputation damage
- Customer trust destroyed
