Bring your own backup software

We'll handle the multi-site heavy lifting.

Already using Veeam, Commvault, Proxmox Backup or your own enterprise backup tools? Keep them. Hexion Replicated plugs directly into your existing backup software as a single, ultra-fast S3-compatible target repository. Behind that single endpoint sits our multi-site replication fabric: the moment your software writes a backup copy to Hexion, we replicate it natively between the two geo-diverse Teraco, ADC or NTT facilities you choose.
