AXOL Server announces a technology partnership with Rai Way to integrate Rai Way Cloud Object Storage, the edge-to-cloud storage service based on Cubbit technology, into its high-availability architectures based on Proxmox.
The agreement enables AXOL Server to strengthen its offering for backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity by introducing a distributed and sovereign object storage layer designed to meet today’s most critical business needs: ransomware protection, immutable backup, data sovereignty, and regulatory compliance.
In summary:
- Proxmox specialization: AXOL Server designs HA infrastructure based exclusively on Proxmox
- immutable backup: the integration with Rai Way Cloud Object Storage enables object lock, retention policies, and WORM policies
- data sovereignty: edge-to-cloud storage is based on Rai Way’s distributed infrastructure and Cubbit technology
- cyber resilience: the offering strengthens backup, disaster recovery, and ransomware protection
A response to new security and compliance priorities
In a market shaped by the rise in cyber threats and growing attention to European cloud, data localization, and new regulations, backup can no longer be considered a simple fallback copy. For companies, public-sector organizations, and organizations of every size, it is becoming essential to have resilient, verifiable, and immutable copies that can support system recovery even if the primary infrastructure is compromised.
Immutable Backup for Proxmox Environments
AXOL Server has chosen to specialize in the design of high-availability infrastructure based exclusively on Proxmox. This focus allows the company to concentrate its expertise, methodologies, and services on an open-source ecosystem that is increasingly relevant for organizations seeking flexibility, cost control, technological independence, and business continuity.
Through its partnership with Rai Way, AXOL Server integrates Rai Way Cloud Object Storage into its custom projects, combining Proxmox Backup Server with object storage based on Cubbit technology. Immutability is ensured through features such as object lock, retention policies, and WORM policies, which protect backups from unauthorized deletion, alteration, or compromise.
The result is a solution focused on immutable backups for Proxmox environments: an architecture designed to strengthen the protection of backup copies, reducing the risk that a ransomware attack could also affect the backups required for recovery.
Sovereign and distributed storage with Rai Way and Cubbit
Rai Way Cloud Object Storage is based on the integration of Cubbit DS3 Composer technology into Rai Way’s distributed infrastructure, with the aim of offering edge-to-cloud storage services in Italy. The solution is designed to ensure data resilience, sovereignty, and availability through a model in which information is encrypted, fragmented, and distributed across multiple network nodes.
“The collaboration with AXOL confirms the value of our Cloud Object Storage offering and represents another step forward in Rai Way’s development strategy in the Data Center & Cloud area. The integration with Proxmox expands the potential use cases for the service in support of advanced solutions for data protection, resilience, and sovereignty,” said Umberto Babuscio, Chief Broadcasting & Media Officer and Data Center Director at Rai Way.
Cybersecurity, business continuity, and data control
For companies, the value of the partnership lies in an integrated offering that combines high-availability Proxmox infrastructure, specialized backup, and sovereign cloud object storage. Use cases include off-site backup, ransomware protection, disaster recovery, critical data retention, recovery of virtualized environments, and business continuity for multi-site organizations.
The offering is aimed at companies, public-sector organizations, large enterprises, SMEs, and service providers that use or plan to adopt Proxmox as their virtualization platform and need to strengthen their backup and data protection strategies.
“AXOL Server has chosen to focus on Proxmox because we believe in an open, efficient, and controllable infrastructure model. The integration with Rai Way Cloud Object Storage allows us to complete this vision with a data protection layer aligned with current market needs: resilience, sovereignty, compliance, and immutable backup,” said Luca Ferrario, CEO of AXOL Server.
With this partnership, AXOL Server strengthens its positioning as a specialist in the design of high-availability Proxmox infrastructure, integrating backup, disaster recovery, and sovereign cloud storage into an offering designed to increase the resilience of information systems and control over corporate data.
