Comping

What Comping does

Comping d.o.o. is a privately held Croatian IT company founded in 1988 and headquartered in Zagreb, operating across the EMEA region with a workforce of 101-250 employees. The company has built its business around IT infrastructure, data protection, and enterprise cybersecurity services for over 35 years, citing more than 1,000 successful projects across multiple industries. Comping's commercial focus has centered on delivering business technology solutions and consulting tailored to client needs, evolving from a generalist IT services firm into a specialist in backup and cyber resilience.

The company's flagship offering is Grafen, a cyber resilience backup protection solution organized around a four-layer architecture: data security (protection against deletion and manipulation), backup integrity verification (correctness and reliability of backup copies), resilience and recovery (replication and disaster recovery), and efficient storage (compression and storage optimization, claiming 2-4x reduction in storage footprint and up to 98% reduction in data transfer during backups). Grafen integrates natively with leading enterprise backup platforms, including Dell PowerProtect Data Domain and Data Manager, Veeam, Commvault, and Rubrik, and extends to virtual and container environments (VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Kubernetes) and Dell PowerStore and PowerMax storage systems. The solution incorporates AI/ML-based anomaly detection that operates during the backup process to surface ransomware activity and integrity issues, alongside Transparent Snapshots technology for accelerated backup and recovery.

Comping's revenue model combines subscription and licensing revenue from its enterprise backup solutions with professional services and consulting revenue from backup environment assessments, resilience recommendations, and implementation engagements. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales, using a consultation-led funnel: an initial expert conversation, a technical review of the customer's backup environment, and concrete resilience recommendations, supported by content marketing (e-books, technical documentation) and co-marketed Dell PowerProtect assets. The company targets six verticals as primary segments — Finance, Public Administration, Manufacturing, Retail, Logistics, and ICT — with the unifying use case being protection of business-critical data against ransomware attacks that target backup systems. No revenue figures, funding rounds, named customers, or management disclosures are present in the available source material.

Core offering

Comping develops and sells Grafen, a cyber resilience backup protection solution designed to ensure backup data remains isolated, protected, unchanged, and always available for recovery. The solution provides four layers of digital resilience: data security (protection from deletion and manipulation), backup integrity verification, resilience and recovery (data replication and disaster recovery), and efficient storage optimization. Grafen integrates with enterprise backup platforms including Dell PowerProtect Data Domain, Veeam, Commvault, and Rubrik, and is delivered alongside professional services including technical consultation, backup environment assessment, and implementation support for enterprise clients.

Product overview

Comping offers a unified backup security and data protection portfolio anchored by two main products: Grafen (the core backup security solution) and Dell PowerProtect Data Manager (add-on module). Grafen provides the primary layer of backup resilience with four core capabilities: data security, backup integrity verification, disaster recovery support, and optimized storage. Dell PowerProtect Data Manager complements Grafen by offering software-defined backup infrastructure with AI/ML-based anomaly detection, container support, and cloud analytics. The portfolio is designed for enterprise organizations in finance, public administration, manufacturing, retail, logistics, and ICT sectors requiring protection against ransomware and cyber threats.

Direct peers

• Arcserve: Arcserve delivers unified data resilience across on-premises, cloud, and SaaS environments with ransomware recovery and immutable backup features. It targets the same enterprise backup and DR workloads where Comping positions Grafen, including SMB and mid-market deployments in EMEA.
• Acronis: Acronis combines backup, disaster recovery, and AI-driven anti-ransomware protection for endpoints, servers, and cloud workloads. It competes for mid-market and enterprise customers seeking integrated cyber resilience, overlapping Comping's value proposition of protecting and recovering backups after ransomware attacks.
• Cohesity: Cohesity provides data management and cyber resilience with AI-based threat detection, immutable backups, and rapid ransomware recovery. It addresses the same enterprise backup-compromise problem Comping's Grafen targets, making it a directly comparable cyber resilience vendor.
• Rubrik: Rubrik is a cloud-native data security and cyber recovery vendor focused on immutable backups, ransomware recovery, and AI-driven data threat analytics. Like Commvault, Rubrik is explicitly supported by Grafen and competes for the same enterprise cyber resilience budgets Comping targets.
• Commvault: Commvault is a long-standing enterprise data protection and cyber resilience platform with native support for immutable backups, AI-based anomaly detection, and cloud DR. Commvault is explicitly listed as an integrated backup platform within Grafen, making it a directly comparable peer in Comping's solution ecosystem.

Broad incumbents

• Dell Technologies PowerProtect: Dell PowerProtect Data Domain and Data Manager are enterprise backup platforms with built-in immutability, air-gapping, and cyber recovery vault capabilities. Dell is a core technology partner of Comping and the underlying infrastructure Grafen is built around, competing partially in the same cyber-resilient backup space while also enabling Comping's solution.
• Veeam: Veeam is a global leader in backup, recovery, and ransomware resilience software and is directly integrated with Comping's Grafen solution. Comping resells and implements Veeam for enterprise customers, making it both a partner and an adjacent competing capability in the same cyber resilience category.

Regional players

• Keepit: Keepit is a Nordic-headquartered vendor of cloud-to-cloud backup for SaaS applications such as Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and Google Workspace. While Comping's Grafen references SaaS continuity, Keepit represents a more specialised regional competitor in the European data protection and SaaS backup market.

Emerging players

• Zerto: Zerto specialises in disaster recovery and continuous data protection for virtualised and cloud environments, with built-in ransomware resilience and rapid recovery. Its DR emphasis overlaps with Grafen's resilience and recovery layer, making it a comparable specialist in the cyber recovery subset.
• Druva: Druva offers a SaaS-native data protection and cyber resilience platform focused on cloud workloads, SaaS apps, and endpoints. Its centralised immutable backup and ransomware recovery model parallels Grafen's positioning and represents a subscription-only cloud alternative to Comping's hybrid deployment approach.
