Use Cases and Deployment Scope
QoreStor connects to our Backup system and serves as a repository for it. Backup job data is sent to QoreStor and it processes Deduplication and compression, then sending the backup jobs to cloud replication. The use of this system compared to conventional backup methods saves about 75% of the overall storage size in the cloud. This reduces our cost of cloud storage and the load on data throughput.
