We're proud of the work we've done and the customers and company we've kept.
Each Project/System we deliver, has been designed, architected, delivered and supported by CD-DataHouse staff.
When we say we've built a Petabyte Scale backup platform - We have!.
We have avoided sub-contractors or outsourcing implementations to 3rd party services organisations or technology suppliers - Retaining in-house knowledge is key to keeping our promise of excellent customer support.
The deep level of experience has helped us build our MetroStor Cloud Backup and Cloud DR offerings.
