DataSafer

What DataSafer does

DataSafer is a Brazilian cloud data storage and backup company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Campinas, São Paulo, operating as DATASAFER TECNOLOGIA E SEGURANÇA DA INFORMAÇÃO LTDA. The company operates two proprietary platform products: Cloud Backup, a Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform supporting files, databases, virtual machines, operating system images, and Microsoft 365 workloads via a dedicated plug-in; and Object Storage, an S3-compatible storage service launched in 2025. The technology stack is built in-house in Brazil and includes client-side end-to-end encryption, deduplication, compression, multicloud destination support, and immutability features designed to counter ransomware, with all data stored in Tier III certified partner-operated data centers (Ascenty in Vinhedo/SP and Cirion in Cotia/SP) and aligned to LGPD requirements.

The company runs a channel-led go-to-market: its primary customer segment is Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT service providers in Brazil, with over 1,200 MSPs activated on the platform by 2023, a number that grew from roughly 1,000 in 2020. Partners can sublicense the software and storage to their end customers under the Partnership Program, managing their own pricing, billing, and first-line support. Direct sales operate through a web portal with a 30-day free trial, a virtual pricing calculator, and Inside Sales engagement via WhatsApp, email, and dedicated phone lines across São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Florianópolis, and Recife. Beyond MSPs, DataSafer targets call centers, hospitals and clinics, Brazilian notary offices (cartórios) under CNJ Provimento 213/2026, and logistics companies — segments driven by data residency, LGPD, and sector-specific compliance needs. The company maintains an unusually broad certification portfolio (ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 9001, ISO 20000, SOC Type 2, PCI DSS, Tier III Design, and TÜV Rheinland TR3).

DataSafer monetizes through subscription and usage-based pricing billed in Brazilian Reais. Cloud Backup starts at R$250/month for 500GB with progressive volume-based discounts and unlimited user accounts per plan; Object Storage requires a 1TB minimum quota and bills solely by stored volume with no separate charges for IOPS, GET, PUT, uploads, or downloads. Originally launched in 2015 under the Artbackup brand, the company rebranded to DataSafer in 2025 alongside its evolution into a broader Storage Service Provider for MSPs and enterprises.

Its offerings are designed for IT service providers, managed service providers (MSPs), and mid-market enterprises that require in-country data residency, multi-tenant management, and integration with productivity workloads such as Microsoft 365.

Product overview

Cloud Backup provides full backup software with integrated cloud storage and 24x7 monitoring, supporting workloads including files, databases, virtual machines, OS images, and Microsoft 365. The Object Storage product is an S3-compatible storage-only platform used for scalable data retention, content distribution, and archival.

Emerging players

• MinIO: Open-source S3-compatible object storage software commonly deployed by service providers; competes at the storage-layer adjacent to DataSafer's Object Storage, particularly where customers self-host.
• IDrive: Consumer and SMB cloud backup provider competing on low-cost, high-volume online backup — partially overlaps with DataSafer's SMB-facing direct backup offering.
• Druva: Cloud-native data protection and backup-as-a-service platform with an MSP-focused program; comparable to DataSafer's BaaS positioning but typically targets larger enterprises with subscription SaaS economics.

Direct peers

• Backblaze: Cloud backup and S3-compatible object storage (B2 Cloud Storage) provider serving SMBs and MSPs with predictable, low-cost pricing — directly comparable to DataSafer's Cloud Backup and Object Storage offerings and channel model.
• Wasabi: S3-compatible object storage provider built around a single flat, volume-based pricing model with no charges for egress or API operations — the closest direct analogue to DataSafer's Object Storage product, competing for similar backup-and-archival workloads.

Broad incumbents

• Acronis: Integrated backup and cyber-protection platform with strong MSP channel presence and built-in cloud storage — competes with DataSafer for the same MSP-led backup market in Brazil and Latin America.
• Veeam: Enterprise data-protection and backup software incumbent whose agents can use DataSafer Object Storage as an S3 destination; competes with DataSafer Cloud Backup at the software layer and shapes how MSPs choose backup stacks.
• Arcserve: Established backup and disaster-recovery vendor explicitly listed as integrating with DataSafer's S3-compatible Object Storage — overlaps with DataSafer Cloud Backup for mid-market and MSP deployments.
• Commvault: Enterprise data protection and information-management platform listed as a compatible source for DataSafer's S3 storage; targets the same regulated, compliance-driven workloads DataSafer serves from the upper end of the market.

Regional players

• Locaweb: Large Brazilian hosting and cloud provider offering complementary infrastructure (hosting, servers, and emerging cloud storage) to Brazilian SMBs and developers; competes locally with DataSafer on Brazilian cloud and storage services.
