S3 Optimized Cloud Exit Ready
Plakar AWS Dashboard

Shipped as a Hardened AMI

Skip the configuration hell. Plakar Enterprise is delivered as a production-ready, immutable Amazon Machine Image designed for Zero-Trust VPCs. Launch. Connect. Secure.

Native AWS Marketplace

Deploy directly into your private subnet from the AWS Marketplace. No EC2 configuration, no manual OS installation, no dependency management.

Immutable Linux OS

Runs on a stripped-down, read-only Linux kernel. SSH disabled by default, no package managers, no drift. Updates are atomic and cryptographically signed.

Zero-Knowledge Architecture

The AMI acts as a Blind Proxy inside your VPC. It orchestrates snapshots to S3/Glacier, but encryption keys remain with the source agents.

Stop Managing Backup Agents

Discovery and protection happen at the API level. Plakar connects directly to your AWS resources using native data streams. No agents to install, update, or debug on your instances.

Auto-Discovery

Automatically detects new buckets and resources across your accounts and regions.

Native AWS Objects Support

Seamlessly back up S3 buckets and cloud-native assets without complex scripting.

Zero Impact

Perform backups without consuming CPU or RAM on your production workloads.

Enterprise-Grade Management

Full visibility and control over your AWS resilience strategy.

Unified Posture Dashboard

Aggregates metadata from all AWS regions into a single pane of glass. Visualize protection status and storage consumption in real-time.

Policy-Driven Orchestration

Define SLA and retention policies globally. The orchestrator handles scheduling and alerts you immediately if a backup job misses its window.

Advanced RBAC & Multi-Tenancy

Create isolated environments for different teams. Define granular roles (Admin, Operator, Viewer) to enforce least-privilege access.

AWS Secrets Manager Ready

Native integration with AWS Secrets Manager. The appliance orchestrates backups but secrets are managed by your existing cloud infrastructure.

Simple Licensing, Premium Support

One simple license for the AMI. Includes priority support from the core engineering team. License costs are negligible compared to storage savings.

Military Grade Security

Reduce your attack surface by utilizing AWS IAM roles. Plakar integrates natively with your VPC security groups and IAM policies.

  • End-to-end encryption with modern crypto
  • Audited Open Source Core by top experts
  • Blind Proxies for Zero-Knowledge agent operations
  • Cloud Exit Strategy: Sync copies outside AWS safely

Drastically Reduce Resource Usage

Security usually implies a "storage tax". Plakar reverses the math. By performing deduplication and compression at the source, we slash both network API calls and storage footprints.

Network & Egress Costs

Replicating backups to another region or cloud provider usually triggers massive Egress fees. Plakar sends only deduplicated chunks, reducing these costs by up to 90%.

Direct-to-Glacier

Native snapshots often trap data in expensive tiers. Plakar writes directly to S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval or Deep Archive, bypassing standard storage costs.

Designed for modern cloud infrastructure

Automate your protection workflows with simple CLI and API integration, perfect for GitOps and CI/CD pipelines.

CLI & API Friendly

Built for DevOps teams. Automate backups or run them manually with simple, powerful commands from your EC2 instances.

Cross-Cloud Ready

Works everywhere. Replicate your AWS S3 backups to on-premise NAS or another cloud provider for a bulletproof exit strategy.

Network Agnostic

Push, pull, or bidirectional — Plakar handles sync even across VPC peering or between isolated cloud regions.
