What is Vawlt?

Vawlt is a SaaS solution for data storage in a multicloud journey that aims to simplify the transition to the cloud, improve data security standards and optimize usage of storage resources.

Vawlt enables the creation of virtual storage services adapted to customers’ specifications, which can be integrated with both new or existing data storage strategies. The data is stored in multiple cloud providers simultaneously, to ensure state-of-the-art levels of security and reliability.

With only one account users can manage several users and control their access, allowing them to track teams' usage and costs. The billing process is simplified, since the user has a multicloud single bill per account. Through its interface, users can turn days or weeks of configurations into a few clicks.

The vendor's value proposition for using Vawlt:

Tailored data volumes and interfaces, according to a business's needs
Choose the cloud providers to work with
Choose the geographical locations where data is stored
Security: Zero-knowledge encryption
Fault-tolerance: to ensure data is available at all times
Avoid vendor lock-in
Cost control: no hidden costs, with a "pay-as-you-grow" model
Low time-to-value
