Open-E Introduces Open-E JovianVHR: A New Standard for Ransomware-Resilient Backup Storage
Adding cyber-security protection to its SDS solution
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on September 12, 2025 at 2:01 pmOpen-E Inc., an active provider of data storage software, announced the launch of JovianVHR, a new product designed to create an unbreachable, double-layer immutability for Linux Hardened Repository.
Open-E JovianVHR is a software-defined storage solution built on the ZFS file system, providing an exceptionally robust and secure platform for a Linux Hardened Repository. The product addresses the critical challenge of the “single point of failure” often found in conventional immutability solutions.
“In today’s cybersecurity landscape, a single-layer defense is no longer enough to protect against sophisticated ransomware attacks,” said Krzysztof Franek, CEO, Open-E. “With Open-E JovianVHR, we are providing IT administrators, CTOs, and CIOs with a truly resilient solution. The combination of Linux Hardened Repository with our ZFS-based, double-layered immutability offers peace of mind, knowing that backups are secure and instantly recoverable, no matter the threat.”
Key Features and Benefits of Open-E JovianVHR
-
Double-Layer Immutability: The solution combines Linux-based immutability with the inherent read-only nature of ZFS snapshots. This creates a powerful second line of defense, ensuring that even if one layer is bypassed, your data remains protected and restorable.
-
Ransomware-Proof Design: The multi-layered approach prevents attackers from deleting or modifying backup data, making a successful, permanent ransomware attack virtually impossible.
-
Cost-Effective and Hardware-Agnostic: Open-E JovianVHR can be deployed on a wide range of standard server hardware, avoiding vendor lock-in and allowing businesses to leverage their existing IT investments.
Open-E JovianVHR is available through Open-E’s online shop.
