Flexible data protection.
With flash, disk and air gap. Without tapes.
Performance.
Speed means security: faster backups and restores ensure that data is backed up more often and available again faster.
Flash-based subsystems are indispensable for this purpose.
Safety and cost.
The large data volumes of full backups and backup archives require secure, cost-effective storage that is easily scalable – anytime.
Disk-based storage modules are the first choice for this purpose.
Air gap & replication.
Final protection of the backups is done via physical separation (air gap) or replication to a second location, such as via an S3-compatible object store.
Don’t compromise on security.
A simple backup strategy with backup on disk and tape no longer works.
To combat the increasing complexity of heterogeneous backup environments, we have developed the Silent Brick (Pro) system. Flexibly configurable in every aspect, modularly expandable in every area, with particularly high security measures that protect your data from loss and manipulation.
Continuous Snapshots
Continuous snapshots are the time machine for your backups. Snapshots are created for individual volumes – for example, your backup repository – at configurable intervals. These snapshots cannot be modified or deleted via normal access and by the backup software and are thus protected against ransomware attacks. This allows you to revert to the last uncompromised version of your backups at any time for up to 90 days.
For all aspects of modern data protection:
The new Silent Brick system
Start anywhere.
We know that existing data backup infrastructure often cannot be completely replaced overnight. Ongoing depreciation and maintenance contracts necessitate a gradual transition.
No problem with Silent Bricks: start wherever you want.
Performance storage:
Silent Brick Pro.
Equipped with 12 high-speed NVMe’s, data transfer rates of up to 5 GB/s are possible with the Silent Brick Pro. This makes it ideal for daily incrementals and allows virtual machines to be started directly from backup during recovery.
Storage Capacity:
Silent Brick Max.
Equipped with 12 hard drives in 3.5-inch size and up to 240 TB, the Silent Brick Max offers the best balance between high capacity and low storage cost – ideal for long-term full backups and as a target for backup archives. The Silent Brick Max also hits the mark as an S3-compatible object store.
mobile storage:
Silent Brick Pro.
The Silent Brick Pro is barely larger than an LTO tape and weighs just over 500 grams. It offers maximum data protection in VTL mode thanks to erasure coding and a linear file system. As a virtual tape, it is directly controlled by the backup software and can therefore also be “ejected” – a real air gap, completely without tape.

When did backup become so complicated?
A backup serves as protection against data loss. If an original is lost, you still have a copy for protection, as a “backup.”
Data protection could be so simple in a world without RTO and RPO, ransomware and natural disasters. But today, IT administrators need to think much more about what a secure, reliable and affordable backup strategy looks…
