Our aim is to exceed your data protection needs with reliable, affordable backup solutions backed by an outstanding, personal 24/7 Support team that's determined to help you succeed in protecting your environment.
Altaro proudly forms part of the Hornetsecurity Group, led by a committed leadership team.
Founded in 2009, Altaro has grown rapidly over the years. We develop robust backup solutions to address the core data protection needs of businesses and organizations worldwide, as well as the IT resellers, VARs, consultants and managed service providers who serve them.
Our flagship solution is Altaro VM Backup, the natural choice for the backup, recovery and replication of Hyper-V and VMware virtual machines (VMs). It was born out of a need which we ourselves faced in the early days of Altaro: We had found that backing up and restoring VMs was a needlessly complicated process without the use of a 3rd party tool, and existing backup solutions were over-complicated to configure and use, expensive and let us down in times of trouble.
We decided we could do better, with a laser-sharp focus on affordability and ease of use, enabling system admins and service providers alike to provide swift and effective help to their users when disaster strikes. More than 50,000 votes of confidence from our customers (and rave reviews) confirm we were on to something.
Our products today include solutions to back up and restore Microsoft/Office 365 mailboxes and files in OneDrive and SharePoint; physical Windows server backup; and endpoint backup for files stored on roaming and on-premise Windows desktops and laptops.
We also offer an attractive Partner Program for VARs, resellers and IT consultants, as well as backup solutions specifically built for Managed Service Providers (MSPs).
Altaro is the only vendor that enables MSPs to manage different kinds of backups –like VMs, Office 365, physical servers and endpoints – across all their customers from a single pane of glass, simplifying their life. This is possible through Altaro's ground-breaking, multi-tenant online management console, a powerhouse for MSPs. It also provides centralized billing, with one convenient monthly invoice for the various backup services used by the MSP's different customers.
We're proud of the fact that thousands of businesses, organizations and Partners worldwide choose to rely on Altaro, excited by our fresh take on backup software, by their experiences with our award-winning 24/7 customer support, and by the number of times our products have already bailed them out.
Don't just take our word for it: Check out customers' testimonials and case studies and see for yourself the genuine feedback our users send us.
Altaro's Partner Program enables you to effectively help your customers with their backup and disaster recovery needs, while making your IT reselling business more successful. You can benefit from discount margins, priority support, product training and more. All this is complimentary, with no commitment required.
