Predatar never stops evolving. Over the past 18 months the platform has become truly vendor-agnostic with support for many of the biggest backup and storage solutions on the market. Our roadmap is driven by the changing needs of our customers and the days of businesses relying on a single vendor for backup and recovery are fading fast. As organisations adopt a broad range of solutions to address their challenges, managing and securing data across multiple systems has become more complex than ever.
Predatar has embraced this shift, evolving to give businesses a single, unified view of their recoverability and cyber resilience. Through AI-powered analysis, automated recovery testing, and deep malware scanning of backups, we’ve provided tools that not only simplify this complexity but help organisations continuously verify their readiness to recover from cyber attacks. By listening to our customers and innovating based on their feedback, we’ve ensured Predatar stays ahead in addressing the challenges of a multi-vendor world.
Building on the IBM Legacy
For those that have known about Predatar for a while, you’ll know it all started with IBM. Today our platform supports a wide range of storage vendors, but IBM remains a powerhouse in the data protection space and recent developments show they’re on an exciting journey that complements our own.
Predatar R17.3 introduces a major milestone for IBM users: full support for recovery testing and malware scanning of AIX workloads protected by IBM Storage Protect. This completes our IBM integration story, adding to our existing support for IBM Safe Guarded Copies, Storage Protect Plus, Data Protect, and FlashSystem. For organisations heavily invested in IBM, this means a seamless, end-to-end solution for testing, verifying, and enhancing resilience across critical workloads.
We’re also closely watching IBM’s progress and there’s a lot to be excited about. Over the last 18 months, they’ve accelerated the pace of innovation. From their Data Resiliency Dashboard enhancements and simplified updates to Splunk integration, to governance improvements, IBM is delivering tools that help businesses to strengthen their recovery posture. Features like ransomware detection sensors and MFA security enhancements demonstrate their commitment to evolving in line with their customers’ needs.
Our team is particularly excited by IBM’s developments of their Storage Defender platform. By introducing integrations with other storage vendor’s solutions, it’s clear that IBM is also embracing the reality of a multi-vendor world. This approach aligns with our own mission to help organisations protect and recover their data, no matter how complex their environments become.
