Backup pricing shouldn't need a decoder ring. A simpler model: pay for the volume you actually protect after deduplication and compression — transparent, per-GB, and predictable to budget. That's what Cobalt Iron Compass delivers!

Data sovereignty enforcement isn't optional anymore. Policy-based replication can keep U.K. data in the U.K. and German data in Germany — enforced automatically, not tracked by hand on a spreadsheet.

Managing IBM i backups for multiple systems, teams, or clients? Multi-tenant VTL segments workloads securely inside one platform — no separate infrastructure, no separate license per tenant.

IBM Power rarely runs just one thing — IBM i, AIX, Linux on Power, Db2, Oracle. Protecting them through one platform means one policy model and one recovery process, not a tool per workload.

54% of ransomware victims paid the ransom — and 37% of them faced a second demand (Proofpoint, 2026). Paying doesn't buy certainty. The only real leverage is being able to recover without help from the attacker.

A practical hybrid pattern for IBM i: back up on-premises today, restore into IBM Power Virtual Server when you need to. Continuity becomes a policy you set once — not a project you scramble to build mid-incident.

Even with better defenses, 56% of ransomware attacks still succeed in encrypting data (Sophos, 2026). Prevention will fail sometimes — which is why clean, unreachable backups are the real safety net.

Immutability is the difference between 'we have backups' and 'we can recover.' IBM i copies written immutable, WORM-protected, and encrypted can't be altered or deleted within retention — even with stolen credentials.

The only real leverage is not needing to pay at all. And that comes down to a single question: when your data is encrypted, can you recover clean backups — fast, and with confidence?

If an attacker owns your domain admin, can they still delete your backups? Immutability someone can switch off isn't immutability under attack. Which kind do you have?
