fragmentiX

What fragmentiX does

FragmentiX Storage Solutions GmbH is an Austrian cybersecurity company founded in 2018 by Werner Strasser and headquartered in Vienna, with wholly-owned subsidiaries in Switzerland and Canada. The company provides quantum-safe data storage solutions based on Shamir's Secret Sharing cryptographic scheme, which divides files into fragments stored across user-defined combinations of private and public data stores. This architecture delivers information-theoretic security that protects data against current threats, ransomware, and "store now, decrypt later" quantum-computing attacks, while eliminating single points of failure and cloud provider lock-in.

The product portfolio comprises two physical appliances — fragmentiX ONE (desktop, for SMBs, supporting up to 8 storage locations) and fragmentiX CLUSTER NODE A (industrial-grade, built with Dell Technologies, supporting up to 26 locations) — running fragmentiX's hardened frXOS operating system with hybrid Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) TLS algorithms and integration with Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) networks. Two additional offerings extend the core: fragmentiX Quantum Safe Backup (a managed bundle with SEP sesam and Dell PowerEdge servers) and fragmentiX as a Service (cloud-only subscription scaling from 500 MB to 2 PB).

FragmentiX generates revenue through one-time hardware sales with multi-year enterprise support, plus recurring managed-service and cloud subscriptions. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales with certified channel partners in Austria, France, Italy, and Switzerland. The company serves SMBs, enterprises, government agencies (notably four Austrian ministries under the QCI-CAT project), and research institutions including the Medical University of Graz, with strategic technology partnerships across Dell Technologies, secunet, SEP, ThinkQuantum, Quantum Bridge, and AIT.

Core offering

fragmentiX provides quantum-safe data storage and backup products that fragment files cryptographically using Shamir's Secret Sharing scheme and distribute the fragments across user-defined combinations of private and public data stores. The portfolio comprises two hardware appliances — fragmentiX ONE (SMB/desktop) and fragmentiX CLUSTER NODE A (enterprise, Dell-built) — plus the managed Quantum Safe Backup (QBackup) package and a cloud-only fragmentiX as a Service offering. All offerings are governed by the proprietary frXOS operating system and target data sovereignty, ransomware immunity, and post-quantum resilience for SMBs, enterprises, governments, and research institutions.

Product overview

fragmentiX offers a portfolio of quantum-safe storage solutions centred on its proprietary Secret Sharing technology, which fragments data cryptographically and distributes it across multiple storage locations so that no single location contains usable information. The portfolio comprises two physical hardware appliances — fragmentiX ONE (a desktop appliance for SMBs supporting up to 8 storage locations) and fragmentiX CLUSTER NODE A (an industrial-grade, DELL-built enterprise appliance supporting up to 26 locations) — both running fragmentiX's hardened frXOS operating system. Two supplementary solutions extend the core offering: fragmentiX Quantum Safe Backup (QBackup), a fully managed hardware-plus-cloud backup package incorporating SEP sesam and DELL servers; and fragmentiX as a Service, a cloud-only, pay-as-you-go option scaling from 500 MB to 2 PB. All products defend against current threats and 'store now, decrypt later' quantum-computer attacks.

• Cohesity: Major data protection and ransomware recovery platform offering backup, DR, and data security at enterprise scale. Comparable to fragmentiX in ransomware-resilient data protection, but as a much larger incumbent with broader portfolio and broader customer base.
• Thales (Cybersecurity Division): Global cybersecurity and data protection incumbent with quantum-safe cryptography roadmap through its CipherTrust and Hardware Security Modules. Comparable to fragmentiX in quantum-resistant data protection positioning, but with vastly broader portfolio and enterprise reach.

Direct peers

• ID Quantique: Swiss-based quantum-safe cybersecurity company offering Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and quantum-safe network encryption. Directly comparable to fragmentiX as both target quantum-safe data and communication protection for government and enterprise customers in Europe.
