Catalogic DPX: The Smart Choice in Data Protection
Overview of DPX backup and recovery capabilities, including rapid recovery, ransomware protection, cloud integration, bare metal recovery, and remote office backup.
Government data protection
Backup, Recovery, and Cyber Resilience for Government IT
Government agencies need recoverable data, controlled infrastructure, and predictable costs. Catalogic helps public sector IT teams protect legacy systems, virtual environments, NAS, databases, Kubernetes, and cloud-native applications with secure backup, immutable storage, ransomware detection, and fast recovery workflows.
Keep essential services recoverable when systems are under pressure
Government infrastructure spans old and new systems: physical servers, Microsoft and Linux workloads, VMware and Hyper-V, NAS platforms, Oracle and Microsoft applications, Kubernetes clusters, and edge locations. A ransomware incident, accidental deletion, storage failure, or regional outage can interrupt citizen services, public safety workflows, records access, courts, education, finance, and internal operations. Catalogic focuses on the operational side of resilience: reliable backup jobs, protected recovery points, validated restores, and multiple recovery paths.
- Protect physical, virtual, and cloud-native workloads
- Use software-defined immutable backup storage
- Detect ransomware activity before compromised data is backed up
- Recover files, applications, VMs, and complete environments
- Support SaaS and self-hosted options for Kubernetes backup
What government teams can protect
Use Catalogic to cover the systems that agencies already run and the platforms they are adopting next.
Physical and virtual servers
Protect Microsoft Windows, Linux, VMware, and Hyper-V environments with DPX backup and recovery for core agency workloads.
Databases and applications
Support critical application recovery patterns for Microsoft SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint, Oracle Database, SAP HANA, SAP R/3, and other supported enterprise applications.
NAS and file services
Use DPX for NAS and file protection, including NDMP workflows where required for large-scale file environments.
Kubernetes and OpenShift
Use CloudCasa to protect Kubernetes resources, persistent volumes, namespaces, and application configurations across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.
KubeVirt and virtual machines on Kubernetes
Protect VMs running on KubeVirt-based platforms, including Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization and SUSE Virtualization.
Remote offices and edge sites
Use flexible backup storage and replication patterns to protect smaller locations without forcing appliance-heavy deployments.
Cyber-resilient recovery
Protect backup data before attackers try to erase it
Backups are a recovery asset only if they survive the incident. DPX, vStor, and GuardMode help agencies build a stronger recovery posture by combining backup, immutable storage, anomaly detection, and clean recovery workflows. vStor provides software-defined backup storage with immutability controls that help prevent unauthorized or accidental deletion of protected recovery points. GuardMode monitors filesystem behavior for ransomware indicators, including suspicious extensions, rapid renames, unusual modification patterns, decoy file changes, and high-entropy files. DPX also supports backup verification and malware-aware recovery workflows so teams can reduce the risk of restoring compromised data.
- Immutable backup snapshots and deletion lock controls
- MFA requirement for deletion lock management
- Ransomware behavior detection before backup
- Backup verification and malware scanning options
- Clean recovery workflows to reduce reinfection risk
- Cloud archive encryption and KMIP-based key management
DPX for enterprise infrastructure
Use DPX for the systems that still run the agency: physical servers, virtual machines, databases, NAS, file systems, and application workloads. DPX is designed for reliable backup, rapid recovery, granular restores, bare metal recovery, cloud archive, tape or tape replacement, and remote office protection.
- Physical and virtual server protection
- Agentless VMware and Hyper-V backup
- Block-level and file-level backup
- Granular file and application recovery
- vStor backup repository for software-defined storage
- Replication, archive, tape, and object storage options
- Ransomware detection and cyber recovery workflows
CloudCasa for Kubernetes and cloud-native platforms
Use CloudCasa for Kubernetes, KubeVirt, OpenShift Virtualization, SUSE Virtualization, and cloud-native application recovery. CloudCasa supports multi-cluster operations, centralized policy management, migration, replication, persistent volume backup, file-level recovery, and self-hosted deployments for agencies that need control over infrastructure and data location.
- Kubernetes backup, recovery, migration, and DR
- KubeVirt VM backup and restore
- Support for OpenShift Virtualization and SUSE Virtualization
- Centralized schedules, retention policies, and storage settings
- RBAC, audit logs, and API access
- SaaS and self-hosted deployment options
- Useful fit for regulated, isolated, and air-gapped environments
Recovery outcomes that matter to public sector IT
Government IT teams are measured on continuity, auditability, cost control, and the ability to recover under pressure. Catalogic is designed around those operational outcomes rather than generic backup features.
- Restore individual files without rolling back entire systems
- Recover VMs and applications from known recovery points
- Use immutable storage controls to reduce deletion and tampering risk
- Replicate backup data for DR and remote office protection
- Archive to object storage or tape where long-term retention is required
- Use centralized policies to reduce manual job maintenance
- Support hybrid estates that include legacy platforms and Kubernetes
- Keep more backup infrastructure under agency control when SaaS is not appropriate
- Improve evidence for audits through logs, policies, reports, and controlled recovery workflows

| Public education and research | DPX plus CloudCasa | Protect campus systems, virtual environments, Kubernetes platforms, and distributed data. |
| Federal and defense-adjacent organizations | DPX plus CloudCasa self-hosted | Support controlled deployments, self-managed backup infrastructure, and isolated environments. |
| Public cloud and Kubernetes teams | CloudCasa | Protect clusters, persistent volumes, KubeVirt VMs, and application configurations across hybrid and cloud environments. |
| Agencies with NAS-heavy estates | DPX | Support NDMP and large file protection workflows with modern web management. |
Do not assume compliance certification from this page. Validate specific requirements such as FedRAMP, FIPS, CJIS, or StateRAMP with Catalogic and your internal governance teams.
Deploy around agency requirements, not vendor assumptions
Government environments vary widely. Some teams can consume SaaS. Others require self-hosted platforms, isolated networks, strict data residency, private storage, or procurement through established public sector channels. DPX runs as enterprise backup software with vStor as a software-defined backup target that can be deployed on physical machines, VMware, or Hyper-V. CloudCasa is available as SaaS and self-hosted for Kubernetes cloud-native environments where agencies need greater control over platform operation and data location.
- Software-defined backup storage
- Physical and virtual deployment options for vStor
- SaaS and self-hosted options for Kubernetes backup
- Support for object storage, NFS, SMB, and other storage patterns depending on product and configuration
- Partner-led deployment and support options
