Sardina Systems and Storware, a European leader in enterprise data backup and recovery, have entered into a new technical alliance. This collaboration brings API-driven backup capabilities to FishOS OpenStack-powered environments, helping service providers and enterprises easily protect their systems and virtual machines.
FishOS by Sardina Systems is an award-winning OpenStack-based cloud management platform that delivers scalable, automated, and intelligent cloud infrastructure for enterprises and service providers. Storware, founded in 2013 in Poland, is known for its stable and versatile enterprise backup and recovery system, designed for VMs, containers, cloud environments, and a wide range of storage platforms.
Storware Backup and Recovery strengthens FishOS OpenStack-based environments by providing comprehensive backup and recovery for clouds, seamlessly integrating at both the hypervisor and storage layers. Connecting directly to native APIs, it removes the need for agent-based setups, automatically discovers workloads, and supports full, incremental, and differential backups.
“In large OpenStack environments with dozens of components and multi-tenant workloads, snapshots alone might not be enough. A full backup ensures the integrity of the entire cloud ecosystem, from configurations and metadata to user data. The technical alliance with Storware expands capabilities for FishOS users, providing greater fault tolerance and enhanced compliance with corporate security and recovery requirements.” –
Kenneth Tan, Executive Director at Sardina Systems
FishOS operators can now protect their entire cloud environment, perform VM-level backups, and deliver “backup-as-a-service” to their own clients: all through a single, unified platform.
Storware protects not just virtual machines and volumes, but also application data and storage objects. Built for flexibility, Storware Backup and Recovery, can leverage Ceph — the most common storage backend for OpenStack — and send backups to secondary destinations, including Ceph, NFS, S3, tape, or even other clouds.
“By integrating with FishOS, we’re enabling OpenStack users to benefit from a unified, API-driven backup solution that ensures business continuity and operational efficiency. Together, we empower organizations to protect their workloads with confidence—no matter how complex their cloud environments are.”
Paweł Mączka, CEO at Storware
