QoreStor
An agile solution for optimizing secondary storage in any location.
Quest
QoreStor® expands your data protection secondary storage options
while reducing your storage footprint and costs. QoreStor facilitates the
adoption of most storage types, uniquely including cloud object storage like native object
storage. QoreStor’s advanced compression and deduplication algorithms
slash storage requirements and costs anywhere QoreStor is deployed, even in the cloud. Best of all, QoreStor includes ransomware protection capabilities to protect your backup data.

Gain faster backups and reduce storage costs by up to 93%
With the exponential growth of data, backups are becoming prohibitively slow
and storage costs are rising. How can you protect your structured,
object-based and cloud data in the most secure and efficient way?
QoreStor will significantly improve most backup solutions you use. You can accelerate backup performance, reduce storage requirements and cost, and more efficiently leverage cloud object storage for backup, disaster recovery and long-term data retention. QoreStor also shrinks replication time, improves data security and helps you address compliance requirements. QoreStor is highly interoperable and supports numerous storage vendors, virtualization platforms, backup providers and cloud service providers. Learn More

Why is QoreStor the best bet for cloud storage?
Connect to the cloud faster and more easily with QoreStor. Its advanced technologies enable you to lower your cloud storage costs and maximize the return on your IT investment. You can now leverage low-cost object storage in the cloud like never before.
Not all deduplication is created equal
Exponential data growth takes a toll on your storage budget. Up until 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-prem or in the cloud and use with most backup solutions. Source-side data deduplication with built-in compression delivers unparalleled storage savings — up to 93%, especially useful for cloud object storage. See how much your storage will shrink with QoreStor
Accelerate backup and data recovery from the cloud
Through advanced source-based data deduplication and compression technologies, QoreStor decreases the amount of data flowing across the network and up to the cloud, and reduces the time needed for backup operations. Smaller backup windows free up both computing and IT resources for higher priority initiatives. In the case of data recovery, time to first byte is accelerated from local data so that smaller cloud data sets reduce egress costs as only data needed to fill the gaps flows back.
Get more from object storage
QoreStor’s Object Direct feature is specifically designed to get more from object-based storage whether on-prem or in cloud storage. It can leverage object storage for its main data repository to keep operating costs low and enables backup data to be kept directly on more cost effective cloud object storage for long-term retention. QoreStor’s Object Direct, deduplication and compression capabilities help make low-cost cloud object storage even more cost effective.
Ransomware prevention
QoreStor helps you fight ransomware and cybercrime by providing immutable backup storage whether on-premises or in the cloud. You can also set policies to keep a copy of deleted backup data for a defined retention period in the QoreStor recycle bin, just in case of an attack. See the QoreStor Interoperability Guide for supported backup solutions.
Disaster recovery ready
Between mega-disruptive natural disasters, ransomware attacks and even simple unplanned outages, IT staff need to have a good disaster recovery plan and solution. With its secure, fast and reliable replication, QoreStor lets you replicate backups using virtually any backup solution, to multiple storage devices and locations. You can even replicate between multiple public clouds to establish a 3-2-1 data protection approach and make sure your data is recoverable. QoreStor delivers 10x faster replication and ensures replication completes securely, even over unreliable, and inconsistent WAN connections.
