QoreStor
Cloud-connected data storage, deduplication and replication software.
Connect
to the cloud faster and more easily with QoreStor® software-defined cloud
storage, deduplication and replication. With QoreStor, you'll accelerate backup
performance through protocol accelerators, reduce storage requirements and
costs through content-aware, variable block deduplication, and replicate faster
and safer to the cloud for data archiving and disaster recovery.
Cloud-based disaster recovery at your fingertips
With the exponential growth of data, backups are becoming prohibitively slow and storage costs are rising. How can you enable a cloud-connected, always-available IT environment to support your data management strategy?
Here’s how: QoreStor is a software-defined secondary storage platform based on a proven background of deduplication and replication technologies. With QoreStor, you can accelerate backup performance immensely, slash storage requirements and costs, and replicate safer and faster to the cloud for data archiving, disaster recovery and business continuity.
Lower costs and maximize the return on your IT investment by leveraging virtually any storage hardware, virtualization platform or cloud provider. QoreStor also supports many backup software solutions — so there’s no need to rip and replace your existing software! Simple to deploy and easy to manage, QoreStor enables you to shrink replication time, improve data security and meet compliance requirements. Learn More

Why is QoreStor the best bet for cloud-connected storage?
Connect to the cloud faster and more easily with QoreStor. You can lower data protection costs and maximize the return on your IT investment by leveraging virtually any storage hardware, data backup software, virtualization platform or cloud provider.
Not all deduplication is created equal
Exponential data growth takes a toll on your storage budget. Up to now, data deduplication relied on hardware appliances or was tied to only one vendor’s backup solution. With QoreStor, you get a pure software solution that you can run on virtually any server hardware and use with most backup solutions. It delivers content-aware variable-block data dedupe with built-in compression and encryption that delivers unparalleled storage savings — up to 93%. See how much your storage will shrink with QoreStor deduplication.
Replicate directly to the cloud for long-term retention and disaster recovery
If slow and inconsistent WAN connections make it challenging to use the cloud for long-term retention and disaster recovery, QoreStor has you covered. It replicates only unique data to the cloud, reducing the replication window by 10-15x and lowering network bandwidth requirements by 85%. You can also extend any QoreStor instance to cloud-native storage on AWS or Azure Blob Storage.
Faster backups and immediate recovery to, and from, the cloud
Your stakeholders have no tolerance for system downtime due to backups. The QoreStor cloud recovery model addresses this unequivocally by extending its footprint into cloud-native storage where its intelligent recovery pulls data locally before pulling backup data stored in the cloud. Not only is recovery significantly faster, cloud egress costs are lower. QoreStor also accelerates data ingest by up to 20 terabytes per hour using protocol accelerators and client-side deduplication where only unique data chunks are sent over the LAN or WAN.
