Datashelter is a Toulouse, France firm seeking to move its customer reach outside its home country. The company was founded in 2023, and has been selling its product since March this year.
It currently has around 50 customers for its automated data backup system, with much of that business generated via CEO Malo Paletou’s previous role as a consultant for SMEs.
“I have seen many different types of infrastructures, and deployed many backup solutions,” said Paletou, while addressing the recent IT Press Tour in Istanbul, Turkey, attended by IT Europa. “Most SMEs are facing unpredictable pricing, and a backup solutions market that is wide.”
Both files and databases are backed up by Datashelter, with the PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and MySQL database platforms supported. The service is currently hosted on OVHcloud infrastructure in France, with further cloud support being planned elsewhere.
“It’s a super-easy-to-use backup solution that opens the world of backups to a non-tech person,” said Paletou.
The price of the SaaS service starts at €7 a month for 1TB of backed-up data, with incremental backup, compression and decompression, using AES-256 encryption on one backed-up server.
Paletou says Datashelter is currently developing a reseller network made up of small IT consulting agencies, but it is also talking to “large” channel reseller partners as part of its wider European go-to-market. It also has a product roadmap (see slide).
