Data Protection is a data backup and recovery feature which automatically creates read-only point-in-time data snapshots using configurable policies.

Data Replication is a disaster recovery feature that replicates data snapshots to alternate media or one or more remote filesystem(s).

Dataset Encryption is a software-based encryption feature allowing for the encryption of the individual datasets.

Hardware Encryption is a feature that allows managing self-encrypting drives (SEDs) to encrypt data at rest on BrickStor appliances using hardware-based encryption.

High Availability is a feature providing fault tolerance to ensure that critical data is always available and accessible to users, even in the event of a hardware failure or other unexpected events.

ImmutaVault is a secure virtual air gap that guarantees isolation and immutability for critical production data. It creates an isolated read-only version of a dataset that is always encrypted.

Key Management allows managing of BrickStor encryption keys without the need for a separate key management system. It works out of the box and keys can be synchronized with other BrickStor SP appliances for recovery purposes.

S3 is a feature that allows for sharing existing data using the Amazon S3 protocol while maintaining the same data access and security policies.

Transparent Data Movement (TDM) is a feature that allows for seamless movement of data between tiers of storage within a BrickStor SP to external storage tiers. This can include another BrickStor SP, third party NFS capable storage and S3 compliant object storage.

User Behavior is a feature that allows monitoring user behavior on a BrickStor SP appliance. This feature provides a way to detect and respond to suspicious or malicious activity across NFS, SMB, and S3 protocols.
