Our Story
Above 10,000 feet, the air gets thin and it's easy to become disoriented. Ominous weather approaching, you get stressed, and if you can't find the path off the mountain, it can be downright life threatening. Your eyes quickly scan the horizon for something recognizable. A cairn is that man-made stack of rocks you see along a trail and when you see it you know you are on the right path. If you are lost or disoriented it gives you immediate peace of mind. Someone has been here before and took the time to prepare your way back.
This is DATASTOR.

Born in Longmont, Colorado, in spring of 2005, in the shadows of the Rocky Mountains, every day we are reminded of how unpredictable life can be.
We recognized the limitations of traditional data protection tools and set out to create something better – solutions that truly empower IT teams and deliver maximum value without complexity or excessive costs. That early motivation – to free IT teams from unreliable tools and deliver real peace of mind – drove everything we built.
​
Through hard work, determination, and genuine passion, we created DATASTOR Shield™, our flagship hybrid cloud backup solution. It grew from our foundational ArchiveIQ™ technology and is powered by patented source-side deduplication, a game-changing innovation that offloads backup tasks to each managed computer, dramatically reducing storage needs, shortening backup windows, and minimizing network load while delivering faster, more efficient performance.
​
DATASTOR Shield™ was designed from day one to make best-practice data protection effortless. It fully supports the 3-2-1 backup rule – maintaining three copies of your data on two different media types, with at least one copy off-site. We remain customer-focused, continuously innovating to deliver simple, affordable, and highly effective backup, restore, and archiving solutions for businesses of all sizes.
​
We want to be your partner, your cairn back to safety. Let us provide you with peace of mind.
