Atempo

What Atempo does

Atempo is a privately held French enterprise software company founded in 1992, headquartered in Massy, France, with 200+ employees and operational presence in Europe, the United States, and Asia. The company develops data protection and movement solutions targeting organizations with petabyte-scale unstructured data — notably research/HPC environments, media & entertainment archives, healthcare, government, and large industrial enterprises. Its portfolio centers on three product families: Miria (the flagship unified platform covering backup, archiving, migration, and synchronization across NAS, object, and cloud storage with proprietary Data Mover architecture capable of 250+ TB/day per unit), Lina (endpoint and workstation protection available on-prem or as a sovereign European cloud backup), and Tina (server, OS, and Microsoft 365 protection). A bundled Backstone appliance is also offered.

Atempo's technical differentiation rests on performance engineering rather than AI: FastScan technology optimizes filesystem traversal for GPFS/Lustre, source-side deduplication reduces bandwidth and storage costs, and Incremental Forever migration enables non-disruptive multi-petabyte data movement. The platform is storage-agnostic, supporting Dell/EMC Isilon, StorNext, DDN, Qumulo, Huawei, Wasabi, Azure, and standard object protocols. Strategic partnerships with Microsoft Azure (Azure Storage Migrate Program), OVHcloud, IBM (sovereign European Storage-as-a-Service), DDN, Wasabi, and regional channel partners (We.Systems, OCF) extend geographic and segment reach.

The business model combines software licensing and subscriptions for Miria/Lina/Tina with attached professional services (migration projects starting at 200 TB / 250 million files), managed services via the Azure program, and hardware revenue from Backstone. Atempo generates revenue through a hybrid go-to-market: direct enterprise sales for large multi-petabyte deals (e.g., German automotive supplier at 2 PB/month across 4+ sites), and a global channel network for SMB and mid-market. Pricing is quote-based and undisclosed. The company completed a ~€8 million financing round in 2025 to accelerate engineering investment and was selected for the French Tech 120 program.

Core offering

Atempo develops data protection and movement software for managing petabyte-scale unstructured data across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. Its flagship Miria platform delivers backup, archiving, migration, and synchronization for billions of files across NAS, object, and parallel file systems (GPFS, Lustre, Isilon, StorNext). The portfolio is completed by Lina for laptop/workstation endpoint protection, Tina for server and Microsoft 365 protection, and the Backstone all-in-one backup appliance.

Product overview

Atempo is a European data management and protection software company offering three core product families: Miria (flagship unified data management platform for large-scale unstructured data), Tina (server and application protection), and Lina (endpoint and workstation protection). Miria operates as the central platform organized around four functional modules — Miria for Migration, Miria for Backup, Miria for Archiving (ADA), and Miria for Synchronization — covering the complete lifecycle of petabyte-scale file data across on-premises NAS, object storage, and cloud environments. Tina provides enterprise server and OS protection including Microsoft 365 backup. Lina delivers endpoint protection via both on-premises and 100% European sovereign cloud deployment options (Lina Cloud Backup). An all-in-one hardware appliance (Backstone) is also offered. The company serves demanding environments in research (HPC), media and entertainment, life sciences, healthcare, industry, and public sector.
