A truly isolated backup that’s designed for security
Zmanda Pro delivers complete on-premise backup capabilities with the flexibility to deploy on your infrastructure, your way. Install on your own Linux machine—no proprietary hardware needed.
Complete data sovereignty and control
Deploy on your Linux infrastructure. Run Zmanda Pro entirely within your network perimeter, maintaining full control over hardware resources, security configurations, and data location for regulatory compliance.
Fast local recovery
Restore data at local network speeds—gigabit connections can recover terabytes in hours instead of days. No internet bandwidth limitations, no waiting on third-party systems. Your data, your network, your recovery speed.
Flexible deployment without compromise
Install Zmanda Pro on your existing infrastructure without architectural changes. Deploy on physical servers, virtual machines, on-premises hardware, or private cloud environments. You own the infrastructure, we provide the enterprise backup capabilities.
Other backup solutions complicate your security review
Classified facilities, SCIFs, and dark sites have one non-negotiable requirement: zero external connectivity. Most backup solutions fail this test or add significant cost.
External connections are deal-breakers – Even one outbound call triggers complex approvals, security reviews, and compliance audits. Software that requires telemetry or licensing validation simply won't be approved for classified environments.
Competitors abandoning the model – Organizations needing true isolation are left searching for alternatives. Other backup solutions are moving away from this model, creating gaps for high-security organizations.
Proprietary hardware adds cost and complexity – Proprietary hardware adds cost and complexity – Solutions like Cohesity and Commvault offer air-gapped capabilities but require purchasing their proprietary appliances. This adds hardware costs, upgrade cycles, vendor lock-in, and another layer of infrastructure to manage.

How it works
Deploy with offline licensing -Install without internet connectivity. Activate using manual licensing—no external validation required.
Configure backup policies - Set policies, schedules, and storage entirely within your network. Zero external dependencies for full functionality.
Protect isolated workloads - Back up servers, databases, VMs, and storage. Deduplication and compression work locally without external requirements.
Maintain complete isolation -Operate indefinitely offline. Manual updates preserve security posture while delivering enterprise protection.
Recover at local speeds - Restore without internet connectivity or third-party dependencies. Complete independence from external services.
